I'm dumbstruck. Speechless. (That's why I'm typing this.)
Would you believe this combination:
- A Finnish rock group calling themselves the "Leningrad Cowboys";
- Performing in a stadium in Russia before a crowd of screaming Russian teenyboppers;
- Backed by the Red Army Choir (in full uniform, with balalaikas);
- Singing Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" (in English)?
The mind boggles, I tell you . . .
Is this the end of Western civilization? Or Russian? Or both?

They do a pretty good job at it, too.

Oh. My. $Deity.
Hearing the chorus with that thick Russian accent is just painful.
I hope Neil Young will remember, the Red Army, the Leningrad Cowboys and Russian tennyboppers don't need him 'round, anyhow.
You can always tell when you're speaking with an extroverted Finn.
He's looking at YOUR shoes.

Finally found a pair of shoes I don't have! Hope Neil Young will remember where the lead singer got his....Perhaps from Dr. Seuss....
and the "beehives" are to die for!
COCKTAIL PARTY ANYONE!
What a TRIP!
Is this the Beatles impersonation of Howdy Doody?
Dig the shoes ..Where are the B52"s
Yep, the end of the world is here as we know it. It was nice knowing all of you. ^^
When is this? If that was the Red Army it had to be before '92 (it's been the Russian Army since the Soviet empire collapsed), so this is actually a much older clip.
Either way, it was pretty awesome. Really digged those Southern-style beehives the dancers were sporting.
This might the single most awesome thing I have ever seen.
