Sweet Home Leningrad


From another blogger(www.tothepointnews.com). Just about the most bizarre act I've seen....watch this performance, which he describes this way:


"Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of "Sweet Home Alabama." In English. You couldn't make this up.We're talking seriously off the wall here. "


I have not done any research into it, but it's certainly worth a watch. (-:
