[doodleguitarist]

I remember seeing them live when i was little! It was a pretty loud but good concert!

[schoolispiss]

Bahahahahaha..... this is awesome

[MrUrdal]

det er gjete bra får meg til å tenka på min gamle tid some pivot leningrad cowboys promotion man in the 90 s in france

[IMAGINEUNITY]

LOL that's what we call Unity :)

[iTzFelixx]

okay what the fuck

[madpistol]

This proves it... they're invading from the gulf of mexico. Mobile... they're coming for you.

[kaes2000]

Co to ma być? Wy, Rosjanie, macie własną wspaniałą kulturę i własne super pieśni. Ja na przykład kocham "Pieśń Burłaków nad Wołgą" w wykonaniu tego samego chóru z solistą Leonidem Kharitonovem. Trzymajcie się z daleka od amerykańskiego gówna i bądźcie oryginalni. Pozdrawiam z Polski. :)

[daveinolywa]

best laugh i have had in a long time!! its great to see the collaboration. it may be just for show, or it could be just one tiny baby step towards the west

[silverheart0]

very odd but awesome

[macthefireman]

This is nothing short of magnificent, even if the band did steal the fashion from Split Enz. How can anyone doubt that the world is a better place now that everyone can see it is possible to have fun together and enjoy some fine classical male vocalists along the way.

Well done to everyone involved with it and thanks for posting.

[Beriorn]

Judging from the hair, I think they may be trolling.

[silentk1ll]

@Beriorn Indeed

[MrLebowski2]

hi hi lc

[TheArbiter6695]

I know their game...infiltrating america and then bringing it down from the inside. Devious, comrades...

[acfiorentina]

Pronounced "Leh-nerd Skeh-nerd"! This is amazing.

[UnbIacken]

Alabama is anybody's home :]

[rdcommish]

this was at the MTV awards in New York a number of years ago, and the Leningrad Cowboys are Finnish. And Finland just defeated Ireland in the Roller Derby World Cup in Toronto

@FuriousMarsupial Actually Democracy is dead a buried long ago

[Verbeke7]

@PhobicPyro

Woah man, that's like, so deep and subversive, man...

[PhobicPyro]

@Verbeke7 Nice trolling attempt :L

[elgatonyc]

I remember the Leningrad Cowboys & the Russian Red Choir singing at the close of the MTV Awards the year Roseanne Barr hosted (whatever year that was) and thinking it was one of the most surreal things I had ever seen even though I knew their "Leningrad Cowboys Go America" movie existed. They even showed her backstage with the Russians as if she was going to have sex with them all. Is this video from that appearance?

[y3623951]

@elgatonyc

no. This is a concert in Helsinki. outdoors as you can maybe see.

[joshua12345a]

what next nazis singing jewish wedding song

[iTzFelixx]

@joshua12345a yeah

[ThatsMrAnon]

@joshua12345a hell yeah.

give me Red Army Choir singing never gonna give you up or give me 404

[jpstenino]

Who ever could have thought this up??? Once I got over TOTAL shock....it is fun.

[pvtMajorOfTheUSMC]

whaaaaat the fuck.... *twitch*

[GitErDunJohn]

VAN ZANDT woulld have shot them ..lol.. This isnt funny .. its totally stupid !!!!

[Avantgardisauruss]

@GitErDunJohn quite sadly, people like you cannot be silenced... (yes, talking about trolls here.)

[KalahariKAri]

I saw the movie way back when, and I love them still. Come back to America, Leningrad Cowboys!

[iorlowsky]

This is simply amazing

[KhetNiu]

You know... I don't hate this...

[verynice420]

mexicans are using pointy boots these days

[KiwiLovin7]

@verynice420

Only the nacos my friend.

[KammeratGak]

Why not sweet home Leningrad..

[markallenwilsonESQ]

Yakov Smirnoff is rolling in his grave.

[teresavivarium]

the post-communist era, the Ukraine comedy group "Maski-show" has a similar sense of humour. 

[E1rdelle]

Great stuff and hopefully Putin won't be able to take it from us. And it means that We will not step in precisely the same shit again.

[Jonte89]

is it the Russian federation insignia they have on their sleeves?

[Medysonball]

@Jonte89 of cours.. the Russian federation is what USSR was...

[ExDJrocksquaddie]

So funny, trying to get the limited issue dvd of a spoof tour

[Germanbiscuts]

I koled :)

[PlasticStixIncLTD]

What just happened?

[Bieeanda]

This is almost as mindblowing as Boney M going to Moscow to sing 'Rasputin'.

[fcrfortes]

this is so funny for so many reasons. i dont even know how to start.

[Kamakize789]

If your gonna sing a song about the south you at least gotta have that Southern Accent. This is the one time I disagree with something the Red Army choir did

[vaaldee]

Love It!!!!!

[friktastic5]

*Like*

"This feature is not available right now."

Fuck you yes it is

[Arrrrrchy]

It sounds like it should))))

[sirrington]

Not even an accent from the choir!

[WoodULikeSumCatFood]

...

I-it's a band full of Daryan Crescends.

[KBRNerdfighter]

Oh give them a break, they are all having fun. :D Kind of funny actually.

[dwilson36316]

hmm I'm from Alabama and honestly Ive heard some really bad covers but this is pretty decent. Kudos for the effort even if it's meant to be humorous

[KBRNerdfighter]

@dwilson36316 It is isn't it. Accent and all. :)

[jalabi99]

HA HA HA I love these guys!

[Dominator150395]

It's like they're trying to apologise for threatening to nuke the US while at the same time reminding them that everything the Yanks can do, Russia can still do better.

[mager56723]

god.... this seems like something out of an alternate history series

[gleisberry]

I bought 'Total Balalaika Show' thinking that this was from that show and found that I was wrong. I really want this show. Would you please tell me which dvd is this from? Thank you!!

[jarppak]

Semmarit - Taina

[Eddy1701]

I personally wish that Vladimir Lenin had lept from his mausoleum and slapped these supposed Red Army soldiers for singing this reactionary anthem of white southern supremacy. Truly a betrayal of every value and cause for which the socialist movement has fought.

[talimancer1lt]

@Eddy1701 i agree this is fukin stupid a shit

[Motive11331]

@Eddy1701 Calm down, comrade.

[YoungManNihilist]

@Eddy1701

It's the serious censorship type of left-wingers like you that make people dislike the rest of us. Music is just music, that's it.

[Z1986]

@Eddy1701 stalin killed the socialist cause, not the leningrad cowboys

[Edohiguma]

Leningrad Cowboys should work with Man With A Mission

[megaheadbox]

Aren't some of those Army Chorus singers the same ones as were in the 1965 "Song of the Volga Boatmen?" They haven't aged a day!

[OniLinkShadowLink]

FREEBIRD!

[IIIHeffaIII]

Reds singing the redneck anthem... brilliant.

[blancocorvidus]

@IIIHeffaIII Nothing red about the Finns, son. We've been fighting the slavs/russians/reds for a thousand years

[YRightious]

@blancocorvidus yeh there is.... and btw we haven't been figting red for thousands of years, hence we are not that old as a nation. We started thinking about independence in the 19th century... and we were doing just fine under the russian rule for about 200 years. Get your facts straight idiot.

[YRightious]

@blancocorvidus and wtf fighting the slavs? we basicly are slavs.

[blancocorvidus]

@YRightious The Finns are as close to being Slavs as you are being the president. Kyllä mulla on faktat taskussa, usko vaan. If you want to trust 'school' books, be my guest. Having said that, do you know that the French school books stated that Finland was part of soviet union up until we joined the EU? There are facts and then there are Facts.

[YRightious]

@blancocorvidus was that the same book where you read that finns have been fighting the slavs... i mean the reds..nono I mean the soviets... for thousands of years? AND being a slav = communists? And what's wrong with communism as an ideology? avez-vous lu le livre? ou avez-vous simplement en entendre parler dans l'Internet? A guy who bases his facts onto... well basicly onto nothing, is hard to take seriously. I even tried to google some of the shit you spelled out! Admit it! You have nothing!

[YRightious]

@YRightious and maybe we haven't been part of the soviet union/russia for a while now, but we still are it's illegitimate son

[Theokondak]

no give american accent.give russian accent

[girliciousgirl987]

Jore Marjaranta is a great singer!

[coffinshaker]

Fucking brilliant.....

[MrLebowski2]

goood music and good people, thanks from norway

[schranker]

From a capitalist admirer: I LOVE the Red Army Choir. The best thing to come out of the Soviet Union. Their sound?: ominous, classical, foreboding, great male choir. When they sing the State Anthem of the USSR it blows me away. I hope they keep producing and touring! I only have one album of theirs so far but I'm glad they are active.

[SoldiersEmbryo]

RED ARMY??? FUCK WHO DID THIS! THEY DESERVE RESPECT! HOPE THE AMERICAN ARMY SING THE RUSSIAN PATRIOTIC SONG NOW. Stupid americans.

[1225Gamer]

Thats the third iggest pompadour I've ever seen.

[erlsv]

Uhhhh....What would Ronnie think of this? Really.....I would give anything to see his reaction if he were still alive! I have a feeling he would laugh his ass off!

[GrizzlyIndy]

The Cold War is really over. They are us.

[modelleg]

no way.

[Robloxman01]

FUUUU i wanted to hear this in russian. D:

[adamcharney]

I need to hire The Red Army Choir for my next bbq party.

[tissot233]

Those who for some reason don't get it.

it's finnish band dripping on irony.

[yetanothermotherf]

I'll have to say that Red Army Choir always puts some balls to Leningrad Cowboys performance, no matter what is occasion.

[pg1171]

I'm from Alabama and have been a Skynerd fan for years, but I really like this! Stalin is probably sitting in Hell saying, 'Damn! We should have nuken 'em when we had the chance!'

[Benderkekekeke]

@pg1171 Lucky for us, there weren't nukes when we fought against them.

[Robloxman01]

@Benderkekekeke Lies.

[Trillios]

@pg1171 fuck you im sorry too say but stalin was a good leader and 70 % of russia will agree with me on that

[TheJodofe]

@Trillios True. Perhaps even more than 70%. Stalin was a pretty awesome leader.

[v3ntulus]

@Trillios

If Stalin was such a great leader, why won't 100% of Russians agree with you on that?

[Trillios]

@v3ntulus when you have an election do 100% of the people vote Obama? And he did kill alot of russians but it was for creating building just look back at Peter the great that made St. Petersburg

[v3ntulus]

@Trillios

0% of my country voted for Obama. I'm not American. I don't think a leader killing his own citizens is ever a good thing. Stalin might have been a strong leader, but he did some very egregious things. I don't think the murdering of his constituents is a "great" thing.

[Trillios]

@v3ntulus Yes but ever heard of the nick name to St. Petersburg? Skeleton city and the guy that orderd it to be made was St. Peter the great (a Tsar) but still killing is not good but in the SU/Russia they where "used" to being slaves, i guess you could say

[MrJunebug36]

Finnish it off.

[surprisedellastreet]

180 people don't have a sense of humor and couldn't tell a joke if it danced infront of them in pointy shoes

@surprisedellastreet Those were the days!

[Abernis]

there should be a law aginst finland!

[clemenza1234]

they put these guys on the MTV Video Music Awards when it was still "edgy". I remember this........great show!

[Guillidan]

This is actually a mix between Sweet Home Alabama and The Volga Boatmen.

[EFUgyrgyr]

forget reagan this was how we won the cold war.

[jumpinjackflash1968]

1991?

[AmERICanMetal911]

They should KEEP this hidin in Siberia!

[0BornofDesire0]

In modern day Russia, you can do this without getting arrested.

[Szgerle]

Trolling both hardlinbe republicans and communists too.

Nice.

[Theyzgonnabecrazy]

when i saw the title of this video, i thought it was fake...

[manfrombirmingham]

i never liked the original by lynard skynard, but i this is great!! the cowboys are a great band and it makes me laugh out loud every time i see this. i have watched it a lot and passed it on to a lot of people over the past couple of years.

[fratello111]

Great !!!!

[jackerd12]

Irony at its best?

[dmitrit81]

Very cool

[interd0g]

This is great at many levels. When you think that a few years back US and USSR were ready to destroy each other and vaporize the universe, this just makes you think

Yes! turn it all upside down and laugh at it .Can youth, humor, love win?

[Nobitur]

awesomeness

[xelnagahomie]

How the rest of the world sees America

[dagorlad3]

@xelnagahomie a bunch of pointy haired guys with a Russian military back up band?

[dmitrit81]

@dagorlad3 yes, there's a Russian military choir (back up)

[Ameer18]

@xelnagahomie was your comment supposed to make sense?

[gyigyobis]

Mikor jöttök Magyarországra? Király!

[lekocafe]

They rock! Love the B-52s influence on the girls too!

[Araido1968]

This is some straight up unholy donkey kong bull $h1t here... all y'all need to just fade away... hear?

[fuglygurlie]

@Araido1968 hahahahahaha this now my favourite expression XD

[dmitrit81]

Klass (Cool)

[Scioneer]

Russians and Finns singing Southern Rock, now thats funny!

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

what the fuck..........?

[RusskyjDurachok]

Песня - какашок. Да и не всякий раскорячившийся - ковбой.

[TehRasia]

finnish band with russian choir singing about alabama... LOL

[3123Alpha]

I wonder if anyone on that stage would have made it out of Alabama alive?

[kozmopol]

i bet they didnt know alabama was in america.

[RusskyjDurachok]

@kozmopol Its enough to know that Al O Bama is its boss (AlameriKKKa)

[micksmom2]

So freaking great and weird!

[asmoody]

"Leningrad Cowboys Go America" is one of the best Indie type movies I've ever seen. I mean really, who would ice a 6 pack of beer on your dead buddy in an ice-filled coffin on the roof of your Blue's Brothers car?

[TheCatJoker]

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it here.

[Brcln9301]

WTF is that?!

[ConciseOxford100]

The Nazis never stood a chance :)

[TheHamsterRider]

I bet every one of those people in the choir were thinking "What the fuck is Alabama?"

[Sakreos]

@TheHamsterRider ahHAHAHAH !! Amen for that xDDD

[cito117]

This has to be the most interesting Sweet Home Alabama cover I've ever seen

[sexyjeezus]

This must be what they think of Americans.

[moominpic]

@sexyjeezus No, it was a Finnish band which played a parody of a Russian Rock'nRoll band. The whole show was a bit of a giggle in Finland, because relationships with Russia have not always been good, so it was a fun thing to do.

[AeroMetalRush]

Is that Weird Al Yachokic singing? sounds like him

[F4Wildcat]

piss off you political wankers.

Here you see epic finnish people and Russian ones having a great time

you dont see american military bands playing a single russian song, now do we?

[ServisSuperheat]

@F4Wildcat I saw the USMC band play the 1812 orchestra with cannons, but it's certainly no Tatu cover.

[BCJEntertainment247]

I have no idea what that was... but I liked it.

[thiagocarvalhoBR]

Oh, brave new world...

[scorpiostinger65]

This absolutely ROCKS! Thanks for posting this...gotta find this CD....

[spellsecurity]

Stalin is probably thinking: what the hell did I do wrong?

The Red Army Choir singing an american song - priceless!

[UnionPacificPL]

Salute!

[F4Wildcat]

Sweet home alabama is Song at best by Russian and finnish voices!

[PhiloBalini]

grinning like a fool now, cheers!

[DrBongWater]

I'm glad the Russians have a sense of humour...

[TheGreatBunghole16]

HA! Way to go to the Finnish People for sticking it to the people who ruled them before the world wars! lol

[herk1952]

So on a cold, blistery night Mickey turns on his 13" black and white T.V., sees this on on the tellly and turns to his late wife Raisa (God rest her soul) and says, "It is over....Reagan has won, we must tear the Wall down".

[gigabit86]

this is a disgrace, but its so damn funny, look at his hair

[bobandrayfan1]

Next year's Super Bowl Half-Time Show ..yes???

[BluTeam117]

@bobandrayfan1 HELL YES

[balrogdude27]

@bobandrayfan1 would be a million times better than the puke eyed peas.

[cretinbob]

@bobandrayfan1 We should be so lucky. It'll probably be that vapid coont that sang that "Friday" song.

[Pieman6711]

@bobandrayfan1

+∞

[tacomadavid68]

@bobandrayfan1 Hell yah!

[seagravedriver]

@bobandrayfan1 YES!! DA!?

[bigpeeler]

@bobandrayfan1 Yes. Best idea ever. No one would know them and yet the place would go crazy!

[Fritztoons]

that realy rocks!
