"Megamix" is a 1988 single by German band Boney M. The single peaked at #1 in the French charts[1] and was a minor success in the UK where it peaked at #52. The megamix is a medley of remixed Boney M. hits, Rivers of Babylon, Daddy Cool and Rasputin, the 12" version being extended with Ma Baker and Gotta Go Home.

The B-side of the German single, a remix of the group's 1978 hit Rasputin, was issued as an A-side in the UK where the Megamix was backed with a remix of their 1978 chart-topper Mary's Boy Child / Oh My Lord (song).
