Russia meets Skynyrd

[finishthehat]

This is very likely a d_b for those much hipper than I, but you need to check this out: An outrageously costumed Finnish band, backed by the Red Army Men's Chorus, rocking out on "Sweet Home Alabama," all phonetically pronounced.

I love the grins of sheer joy on the Red Army chorus guys as they sing "Alabama!!"

That's awesome.

Do they do Freebird or Curtis Lowe?

Edit: No, but they do Stairway to Heaven.

And here's the Red Army doing Pretty Fly for a White Guy ...

Apparently these guys are Finland's answer to Spinal Tap.

 

[The Big Ragu]

This is definitely my new favorite band. I especially love the B52s woman who doesn't sing or play an instrument, but just dances from side to side.

 

[The Big Ragu]

Worth playing just for the part where the Red Army soldier sings.

EDIT: Even better clip:



Wow.

How do you scream "FREEBIRD!" in the native tongue?

That's the funniest damn thing I've seen in some time. Can you imagine this 20 years ago?

Oh my &^%!#( God.

How do I buy that to use as the ringtone on my cellphone?

Not hard to do. Clip is from 1994.

When I was in college, during happy hour at the campus pub one Friday, a couple of French exchange students got the management to charge everyone a few bucks to hear them sing and play guitar. They were reading the lyrics to Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" out of a book. And they sucked.
Eventually the manager told them to get off the stage and give everyone their money back.

Leningrad Cowboys? They've been around for quite a while.

I thought this was going to be about that GWAR-ish band from Finland that won the Eurovision contest a few years back.

I give you ... Lordi!



It's your day of rockening!

 

[forever_town]

I just wanna hear them sing "That Smell."

Sweet Home Alabama...Roll, Tide, Roll
