Russian March - Johann Strauss II

[UNDENATUREDisaword]

This is the recorded sound of his moustache.

[zmanj154]

Excuse me, Mr. Strauss, but I moustache you a question.

[VolkswagenGolf1400]

I wanted to "shay" "shomething" about is moustache, but I am "shaving" it for later.

[NeonChief]

Moustache(c)

[randomthoughts8]

[VasVas984]

[TahuFenix]

JOHANN STRAUSS II IS CREDIT TO TEAM!

[gkollias14]

Comments are not important, (do not read this)

LISTEN

[cnd4747]

the first part sounds like 'In the hall of the mountain king' and the second part sounds like something youd hear in looney toons.

[MooneySquared]

This sounds similar to the Forest Maze music from Super Mario RPG, if anyone's played it. I'm sure somebody must have pointed that out already, however.

[Random1208]

@MooneySquared

This reminded me of that game too, although I couldn't place the exact stage it reminded me of.

[artman40]

I wonder how Russian February sounds like.

[SuperStonedWeed]

@artman40 it MAY sound like APRIL MARCH.

[DraconicLich]

Would comment on awesome music... but look at that mustache... it's... it's just epic

[GravityPowerful]

In Soviet Russia moustaches watch you in amezement

[OrangeFairy1]

@NICKZILICIOUS I clicked on the song to listen. Saw your comment and laughing hysterically in the quiet office. LOL....

[MegaLozano10]

@OrangeFairy1 LOL

[496338002]

It sounds a bit like inspector gadet

[zenobiqq]

dziwne że nie ma Polaków ?

[HienaCmentarna666]

@zenobiqq są są, tylko się musi ten kawałek na mistrzach albo kwejku pojawić to będzie prawdziwa krucjata ^^

[gabiioiq]

in soviet russia, music writes you

[TheLitepainter]

They are depressed. They do not anticipate. This makes me sad.

[FirePhenom8]

In Soviet Russia we....... ah fuck it GREAT SONG!

[BovichCurve]

Has anyone saw the "dislike button"??....Oh wait....his mustache is covering it...

[Stalkerkh911]

@BovichCurve epic mustache is epic

[Hitchmough42]

Nice tash

[blackc83]

i love this,they should make a metal virsion.pimpin

[elitemarine100]

That sure is one hell of a song being that it was written by a fabulous looking moosestash !

[vanburikwouter]

I love it how the highest rated comments are about his moustache

[holyunderware2000]

brutal stache bro



[masnoy]

грамм знания перевесит тонну лжи

[jeahri]

4 persons incult !

[Rereversed]

Clearly he was the Lady Gaga of his time.

[dreamdrawerable]

lol, his moustache is... I don't know :P

[motherjoon]

سیبیلو برو هییییییه! ا

[thatsnotwhatiasked]

this piece should have called "moustache march"

or...."russian moustache"

or....."moustache moustache"

...

moustache.

[bryphi77]

@thatsnotwhatiasked You made me laugh...

[theSodMonster]

@thatsnotwhatiasked well he wrote alot of marches so he couldn't have called them all the moustache march

[komigennufan]

i think maryanne1710 it jelous cuz she cant have his mustache

maybe not as big as his anyway :)

[maryanne1710l]

nice



[Jsunofgods111]

He has a t-shirt on underneath that says "Free mustache rides"

[maryanne1710l]

why is everyone talking about his mustache

[Martianhammock]

@maryanne1710l Because it is the mustache of the gods.

[dweiner2]

2 people are Justin Bieber n' Lady Gaga fans!! Their tiny brains can't match perfectly to one of the best Viennese composers!!

[LeFry12]

@dweiner2 I am a big Lady Gaga fan and my tiny brain reserves a big love for these great contemporaneous composers.

[dweiner2]

@LeFry12 i think you're missing the point there. You see, I'm not a huge Lady gaga fan, but I'd prefer Classical Music over pop.

[83mpcc83]

Bloody marvellous, rousing march to get the blood pumping!!!

Play on Johann.

[MrFirebaby2]

Wonderful it is! And such a proud moustache!

[RFFcomrade]

who could dislike this

[MrVitocapone]

Brilliant Monkey ,to bad he is not around to see how far we have gone from real to fake ,now the computer iz great ? Want and need is just dignified GREED! sheep will follow cause there all hollow & GOATS go to HELL Yeah right !

[MrJoon1212]

i want that beard....

[Martianhammock]

@MrJoon1212 What beard?

[TheGodBacchus]

One word: Monkey

[ekoblents]

Yes, the music is beautiful. Only thing is the end is not clear.

I also can say that Russia took a big part in his life as a man and musician, but this music indicated his understanding of Russia, but not the real Russian traditional march music stile. The best example of Russian march is Farewell of Slavianka (Прощание славянки) .

[Coolblue3680]

Hoovy would be proud.

(Hoovy = Heavy Weapons Guy in TF2)

[TheGodBacchus]

In Soviet Russia march listens to you

[Sp4wn82]

But the funny thing about all these "great Russian themes" is.. mostly the composers were German/Austrians.. thats some irony, isnt it? They sound beautiful and heartmoving, indeed but often it was German music adepted to Russian music. In CoD there was the Requiem song when you fight in Berlin short before you go out on the streets. And guess who was the composer? Right, Mozart.

[M1ghtymorph1n]

@Sp4wn82

Tchaikovsky, Rastrapovich, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff and Glinka are laughing at you.

[konstinagaev]

@Sp4wn82

So you say that the requiem song in CoD, which unfortunately isn't a "song", is the "highlight of russian music"? Very interesting point, but actually ridiculous.

The should know the german anthem. Guess who was the composer? Right, Haydn.

So please be so kind as to check your references and possible arguments before doubting great russian themes.

[Sp4wn82]

@konstinagaev oh no this was not meant as an offense to Russian Music or Russian culture. I just remarked, that there are many German composers which music was used by the Russians/Soviets. The Requiem composition was also used as trailer for Red Alert 1 and that was a trailer based on the Soviets.

[Comrade4561]

@Sp4wn82 About Berlin . Wasn't that a GERMAN radio ? So obviously it will be playing German music , after all Hitler had banned everything else .

[NICKZILICIOUS]

his moustache wrote this

[DanceDanceJoe]

@NICKZILICIOUS and HE HELPED. :B

[veskovarbanov]

@NICKZILICIOUS hahahahahhahaha

[TheFlyingFoodTester]

@NICKZILICIOUS Damn right it did. It wrote all his pieces

[Zeppelinfaktor]

Nostrovia!

[nightwrighterBLSBBMg]

You will become one with Mother Russia, da......

XD I love this.

[ZubinZubinZubin]

this sounds like the music from the home alone movies

[TheCoolisimo]

@ZubinZubinZubin dont ruin it...

[sepet57]

(russian accent)

"we are soviet russia!we kick you!anymore???dont kick us back!"

[MrJphelps5]

2 people are jealous of his mustach.

[ImSuchASpecialGirl]

@MrJphelps5 now they are three lol

[hunocsi]

@MrJphelps5 Wrong - they just thought the dislike button means the jealousy.

In fact EVERYONE is jealous of his moustache.

[MrJphelps5]

@hunocsi tell u the truth i'm a bit jealous too

[iulian4ik1989]

отличная музика!!!!!!

[JamesTJoplin]

You know, even though Strauss was Austrian, this still sound totally Russian.

[bruchpilot]

german democratic republic was best communist country ever.

[mehmettheone]

WAS :)

[mini1gerbel]

does anyone know any book about communism ( pro or anti communist )

besides stuff like das capital

I cant afford it right now.

[allusernamesrtaken4]

@mini1gerbel Go to a library.

[pkpgpk]

I'm sad to say I'm probably only one of a few american's who enjoy this kind of music. I hate stereotypes, but I know of no-one close to me who loves this kind of music anymore... : (

[anikonov]

@pkpgpk I have to mention that this particular music is not Russian one at all. Johann Strauss II was Austrian from birth to death residing in Vienna. And this march has nothing to do with Russia. :)

[pkpgpk]

@anikonov ...Did you have to ruin it for me?

Just kiding, that's intresting info. :)

[AbeNW11]

@anikonov Of course. He's a composer. Composers don't have to be of a certain nationality to write music for a country. He's obviously taken ideas and different styles.

[mini1gerbel]

@pkpgpk

Im american and i do

[pkpgpk]

@mini1gerbel Then I do not know you, and I commend you sir. :)

[Neroscot]

Love and Pain...

[remirovich]

great!!!



[andreivich1]

shit what's this :O

i was searching for Borat and i got this :P

no i'm joking :D is very nice

ne ploho igraet !

[colegioesperanca]

Russia and EUA could lead the world to the pure greatness, but Russia failed letting the Bolsheviks take control of their own nation. And as result of that, many other nations with great potential has become a victim of it.

[1JesseW]

@colegioesperanca The Bolsheviks are infinitely better than the filth of Nicholas II.

[magicscion]

@1JesseW Spoken as someone who never lived under them and should keep his ignorant mouth shut.

[1JesseW]

@magicscion I'm SURE you lived under Nicholas II or maybe your grandfather was some rich aristocrat in Tsarist Russia. You can't tell me to keep my mouth shut, where's my human rights and my freedom of speech? Isn't that what the US values most?

[magicscion]

@1JesseW You are free to say what you like. What your saying is idiotic. However, there is no point arguing with someone indoctrinated to believe his party propaganda machine. And if you knew how to read you would understand that I lived under the Bolsheviks and they rate among the worst regimes. Not thatyou will appreciate the difference since you live under a similar one.

[1JesseW]

@magicscion The Bolsheviks regime is rated as one of the worst regimes, by who? The US? In the end we all believe in propaganda, of one side or the other.

[1945joshuaruiz]

@1JesseW hey fag the crazist russia was better than communist russia cuz in czarist russia they didnt care about u keep every thing u own in communist russia they drove the noblemen out they killed the czar and all of its smart people and destroyed its pride.

[1JesseW]

@1945joshuaruiz If you resort to simple insults, you have already lost the argument.

[1945joshuaruiz]

@1JesseW wat does that mean

[1945joshuaruiz]

@1JesseW whats does that mean



[mini1gerbel]

@1945joshuaruiz

thats pretty acurate. Im reading a book about communism written in 1959 and it said exactly thus.

[1234stuff45678]

@1JesseW HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA US values.... XD pfft!

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

The Bolsheviks destroyed all the Beautiful country anc culture that was Russia.

[1JesseW]

@Myles0Harcourt By the beautiful country that was Russia you mean the beautiful serfdom that plagued Russian lands right? The beautiful country that through the leadership of the Tsar found one of its greatest defeats at the hand of the Japanese? The Bolsheviks were by no means perfect, but they lifted Russia out of its backwardness.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

Of course, there were many bad things about Tsarist Russia, and Nicholas II was incompetent, but the culture of Russia itself was beautiful. The beautiful Palaces and Churches, many of which had stood for centuries, were symbols of Russia's great culture. Even if you don't like the institutions behind them you can't deny the beauty of the buildings. Many of these buildings were blown up and replaced by lines of square tower blocks. Perhaps that is what you consider "forwardness"?

[1JesseW]

@Myles0Harcourt Clearly you value the symbols and buildings of Tsarist Russia more than the Russian people.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

Clearly beauty means nothing to you.

[1JesseW]

@Myles0Harcourt Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

Certainly so in the case of tower blocks.

[1JesseW]

@Myles0Harcourt Then again, you seem to place beautiful architecture before the well being of the people.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

The wellbeing of the people? They got just as bad a deal under the Bolsheviks, who murdered millions. Yes the Tsar's regime needed to change, but that was possible without all the condiments of Bolshevism and the loss of the beautiful culture and heritage.

[1JesseW]

@Myles0Harcourt The Tsarist regime will never change as long as the Tsar is in power. Millions killed you say under the Bolsheviks? How can you be sure? Were there spies or journalists to count all the bodies? How can you know that?

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

The lack of "spies and journalists" is due to their disposal by the regime and their tight control. But look at the 1830s Ukrainian famine, known as Holodomor. Due to Stalin's collectivisation millions died in a time recognised by some states as Genocide and by the European Parliament as a crime against humanity.

I accept that Nicholas II was unlikely to change, but the fact that countries like England underwent such change shows that change was possible under a Tsarist system.

[1JesseW]

@Myles0Harcourt I agree with you on the scope of Stalin's crimes; however the USSR greatly improved in the Post Stalin years. The nation only truly changes once it has COMPLETELY dismantled the monarchy. Why would you leave the dregs of a past era like in the UK?

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

Sure yes I would, I think we have a nice system here, but let's not argue about that- it's not the point of contention. I do believe that you can have a traditional Monarchy combined with democracy and freedom, as long as the Monarch does not use their power except upon direction of a democratically elected government. That could have happened in Russia. Instead they nearly became a republic and would have done so had not the Bolsheviks forcibly closed down the constituent assembly.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

Furthermore, the Tsar didn't plunge the world to the brink of a nuclear war.

[1JesseW]

@Myles0Harcourt The USSR and the USA never wanted a nuclear war. It was all scare tactics.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@1JesseW

Scare Tactics maybe, but ones which nearly came to war several times.

[camo2h]

Glory to the motherland

[kuznietsova1234]

Two things. Number one: I love how Johann Strauss II can duplicated styles of the different geographic areas to which he created marches. Number two: This is pretty much the only Russian March I've heard which has such a happy and even humorous attitude to it. My hat tips down...

[saxophonesuperpowers]

Great march! I played the Radetzky March on an American Music Abroad trip a few years ago, but I think I like this one better!

[ajn43us1]

glory glory to the russian people

[031limit031]

Best march in my opinion, by him.

[Stoneorg]

I feel some irony in this musik. As if all Russian soldiers are just puppets, full of snobish stares and big moustashes.

[RasMajnouni]

you mean as the composerJohann Strauss II has big moustashes? Posiba.

[Stoneorg]

may be )))) and they curl it jauntily

[delpha3110]

[Communismcomrade]

@nedeljko18 By Russia, do you mean the Tzar's evil Russia, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or today's Russia?

[nedeljko18]

@Communismcomrade My friend,you should read history,from ancient time since the first Russian state, till the present day,Glorious Russia remain as a symbol of freedom and victory over many invaders,who left their boner on Russian soil.

[SgtMjAlex]

@nedeljko18 Left their boner on Russian soil? I shouldn't have laughed.

[nedeljko18]

@SgtMjAlex My friend,this is a erreta,I actually ment bones.

[konstinagaev]
