Here ya go, choirboy. And there's no dancing in it to hurt your brain.

why was my sift (http://www.videosift.com/video/Russian-Red-Army-Choir-Song-of-the-Volga-Boatmen) put in this playlist?

>> ^Raaagh:
Staple red army choir goodness. Thanks OP. Going to have to dig up my albums

hats off to the director//editor for not chucking a heap of shots of the various singers faces with cross-dissolves. Sustained single shots really suited this.


Indeed! I think the style of direction was perfect. Strong, proud, unflinching.

I think it's safe to say that this in its entirety, both the song and the video, as one, constitute what could be considered *art

Agreed with Octopussy, it was Leningrad Cowboys with the Red Army choir.
This concert was held right in the heart of Helsinki, the other one was held in Berlin. The same Red Army had marched into Finland in the second world war.

The band is from Finland and they are sort of making parody of the Soviet Union! This and the choir singing with them in Sweet Home Alabama is so ironic and so nice.
