Boney M's 10 greatest songs, ranked

'We Kill The World (Don’t Kill The World)'

Boney M. - We Kill The World (Boney M. - Ein Sound geht um die Welt 12.12.1981)

'We Kill The World (Don’t Kill The World)' saw Boney M channel latter days ABBA for their final ever Top 40 UK charting single.

Whilst it didn't quite hit the mark like their previous disco-indebted songs, it still hit number one in South Africa and Spain.

Trying to shake things up, it was the first Boney M single to feature lead vocals from Marcia Barrett, and feature any genuine vocals at all from male dancer Bobby Farrell, whose parts were frequently recorded for him.

'Love For Sale'

'Love For Sale' is Boney M in their pomp, complete with infectiously funky bass and epic string arrangements.

The title track from their 1977 album of the same name wasn't released as a single, but encapsulates the reason why they were such a sensation.

That's despite the slightly dodgy album cover, which would no doubt slide today without any commotion.

'Brown Girl In The Ring'
