[sg1987100]

This song makes me cry everytime I hear it... There're so many memories connected to it... I don't know why I've got to cry when I hear this song, because most of the memories are good...

[Kuramochi0214]

don'td. The story was of Paris café not of Where's tavern ;D Regards, long lover of Mary for more than 40 yrs. Tomoya xx

[Kuramochi0214]

WOW FANTASTIC HEAVY HAIRS!! Yes, those Were THE DAYS! Today owing to this, the story was of Paris Caf

[JoeYampolsky]

Here's the original song

Nani Bregvadze - Long Road.

You will find it if you'll search for Нани Брегвадзе Дорогой длинною.

[austrianfunkhunter]

@JoeYampolsky The original song was written by Boris Formin and was sung first by Alexander Vertinsky (see wikipedia) in the 20's. you can find an early recording here on youtube too. watch?v=LVQ3TplZxMA

[possumholler1]

Dude! This is not a hay bar!

[jabe75]

oh man,this song brings back so many memories..some bad,some good..It's all GOOD!!

[johnybladex]

[tumgercekler]

yarramı ye fener kümeye fener

[imonaboatize]

TJ 2!

[zydow]

@imonaboatize TJ0! MAAAAAN!!

[berner]

These guys REALLY need to get together with Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies and put out an album. It'd bring fans of two different yet similar bands together and the album/concert would be awesome I think :)

[Yankpats]

I love the White Russian.

[daitezaiti]

this chick in the restaurant sings in russian

[daitezaiti]

original is much better

[daitezaiti]

you finnish like to change russian songs

[TheSmedleys]

@daitezaiti Mary Hopkin is Russian??

[daitezaiti]

@TheSmedleys

I don´t think so,though Hopkin sounds like russian aftername

[TheSmedleys]

@daitezaiti Hopinski maybe :=)

[Yankpats]

@TheSmedleys Mary is not the original artist

[thedigitalnomad]

12 people are probably Russian

[hamsackbag]

12 people say these aren't the days.

[JLennonOno]

i will never understand people who dislike this vid

[13bathory1986]

this video is so adorable

[greyhoundfriend123]

That just made my day! Awesome!

[wastl700]

[mezafaith]

@wastl700 i watched yesterday nigth hahah

[narmolania]

10 people are donkey haters!

(dear lord, I actually did the x people are b haters..... sooo lame.....)

[Murkula86]

anyone know the title of the song she sings at 3:22 -> ?

[ellisjuice]

@Murkula86 Padam Padam by Edith Piaf :)

[johnybladex]

@ellisjuice damn right!

[brightmotion]

@Murkula86 The musical quotation refers to the "At the Manchzuria Hills" item. The song was originally composed by Ilya Shatrov in 1906 and dedicated to his war friends fallen at the Russo-Japan War of 1905. Shatrov was the conductor of the military band and happened to be surrounded by the enemy with other troops. As the story goes, he made his band play to initiate the counter attack. Him and six more soldiers managed to break through.

[brightmotion]

@Murkula86 Search on Youtube with the following line:

Na sopkah Manchzhurii (1905)

[tommyblank]

One of the best live bands I have ever, ever seen.

[killeri000]

Yes we had "this kind of clothes" in finland, but it was 50 years ago.

[faizoscar]

2:20, they put edith piaf sweet mixture on the song, me love it :D

[vilnis04]

it`s nice in Finnland!

[Bruuba]

One of the best covers ever made.

[Maurikamila]

Das Video ist toll, nur dieses blöde Hundegewinsel um 4:10 ist ziemlich störend :-S

[jasperkello]

ja toshe.

[SynthieAl]

I wish back these days...

[Sunflowers159]

I remember this sung by Mary Hopkin back in the 1960s! I like this version though and the video is fun :D!

[marti0668]

Funny, the tune is an old Russian folk song. Mary Ann Faithful's words are very different from the original, I think. Used to date a Russian guy who told me this.

[vulturgore]

haha excelent!

[bbcharleslau]

srsly, they sing this better than mary Hopkins

sry mary

[utdfortreble]

I have no idea how but my friend discovered this and played it at a party yesterday. I've never seen people going nuts as much from a song that nobody had ever heard of before as they did yesterday.

[tommyblank]

@utdfortreble Damned, it's the Leningrad Cowboys, the greatest live band on earth!

[AMarijaDD]

@utdfortreble they knew the song they just taught its some remix

[TheScythemaniac]

3:54 that hairstyle really suits to that dog, wish mine was as furry

[zbuckone]

Radical, I'm riding my burro to Russia to join the choir!

[RoDerBaer]

@zbuckone

the vid plays in Paris. And the Leningrad Cowboys are from Finnland / Suomi !

;-)

[winggoddess]

who sang the original?

[vintage1962]

credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian gypsy song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("Дорогой длинною", lit. "By the long road"), written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. The first known recording of the song was by Alexander Vertinsky in the 1920s. The song is best remembered for Mary Hopkin's 1968 recording, which was a top-ten hit in both the U.S. and the U.K.

[AnotherSpecialEdMom]

@vintage1962 Thank you for the information. You are apparently very knowledgeable.

[BeverleyLeslie]

@winggoddess Mary Hopkins, UK, although Englebert Humperdinck did a pretty good version too.

[ReeeeedBaron]

love that song :)

[Freyja1133]

shouldn't one of the words be changed from woman to man? the line is thatlonely woman realy me?

sounds strnge when a guy sings it

Is that lonely man realy me? would sound better

[derpatrizier]

@Freyja1133 maybe, but first time i heard this i laughed so hard milk was coming out of my nose

[Freyja1133]

Рай благословляет вас?

[MsMorko]

[eerocks]

this is not russian, this is finnish

[johnybladex]

@eerocks Actually it's some kind of parody on Russians :)

[eerocks]

@johnybladex that is quite good point if you know even a bit of finnish joking against ruskies

[johnybladex]

@eerocks I only know where is Finland, nothing else about thia country... But I know about Leningrad Cowboys and I clearly see that Russians ain't much popular in their country :)

[3Gaia]

Leningrad cowboys are from Finland, not russia.. :)

[tthuhta]

Weren't they from "the Tundra"? :)

[ooproo]

Tundra isnt place... Tundra is phytochorion... It's little warmer than glacier...

[MrBhass]

Nice songs... great band...

That hair reminds me to Trowa Barton from Gundam wings...

[VasilisBotoulas]

Leningrad was in the former USSR johnny420hst!

It's called St Petersburg for over a decade now...

[2fletchers]

If these guys amuse you, look for an older movie called "Leningrad Cowboys Go America." Classic. Offbeat. Hysterical.
