《巴比伦河》
歌曲《巴比伦河》：
这首音乐的旋律极其优美流畅，节奏明快奔放。但是当我们随着那轻松、恬静、安详、流水般的乐曲，想象和回味着背井离乡的犹太囚徒正身处逆境、漂泊异国他乡的滋味，仿佛看到一幅残忍凄凉的景像：正处于生不如死、水深火热之中的犹太人，仍在苦苦的思恋着自己家乡的小溪、绿野、田埂和稻香……音乐作者运用天堂、理想国和离乡的人们作比较，与人们的悲伤形成鲜明的对比。坐在巴比伦河畔，伤心的人们似乎在泣诉：巴比伦河啊，你静静地流淌，夜色是多么安详，可是你哪里知道，就在你的身旁，我们被迫害的异乡人有多么的凄凉，愿圣上也能知道我们的心声，我们的祈祷和冥想……
歌曲《巴比伦河》的演唱者是前联邦德国的Bonym 波尼姆。波尼姆 (Boney M)演唱组是七八十年代十分受人瞩目的一个演唱组，乐队成员来自四面八方，有的来自西印度群岛，有的来自牙买加。这首歌引领了1970年代末中国青年一代的“时尚旋风”，启蒙了那个时代的“喇叭裤舞会文化”。大约在79年10月3日，《巴比伦河》的原唱组合BONEYM在上海大剧院举办演唱会。
