Oddly enough - the guy behind Milli Vanilli (Frank Farian),had done the exact same thing before..He wrote the song 'Rasputin' and then created the lip sync band 'BoneyM' to 'perform' it...

BoneyM went on to have a pretty big career, including "Rivers of Babylon/Brown Girl in the Ring", which was a hit all over Europe, reaching no.1 in several countries as well as becoming one of the biggest selling singles of all time in the UK.

Years after BoneyM, he did the same thing with Milli Vanilli

If it ain't broke, don't fix it ? :-D
