Here's my favorite Russian music video, which also seems to be a home video of one of Uncle Fester's vacations:

 

 

Translation of the lyrics as given by a random youtuber (so it might be wrong, but I've not reason to think it is):

 

 

The boy wants to Tambov
You know Chiki-Chiki-Chiki-Chiquita
The boy wants to Tambov
You know Chiki-Chiki-Chiki-Chiquita

But did not fly there today airplanes
And do not go even train
But did not fly there today airplanes
And do not go even train

You were standing at the edge of the sea
And looking at the old pier
And with mooring one boy
The trouble suddenly shouted his

The wind phrase took the boy sat down on the sand
And wept for the child-and you
Ran up to him sat at the feet of
And said: you should Not water
Ran up to him sat at the feet of
And said: you should Not water

The boy wants to Tambov
You know Chiki-Chiki-Chiki-Chiquita

But did not fly there today airplanes
And do not go even train
But did not fly there today airplanes
And do not go even train

To you he looked furtively
And tear a flash of fire
From his smile became hot
You was so much fun together

He held out his hand and said, " let us Go
Sea quietly пропело: Adventurous
Takes your carefree casual affair
Now for seventeen weeks
Takes your carefree casual affair
Now for seventeen weeks

And here's something from a little further east. The name of the band is Qetiq:

The greatest song in history?

You win the thread. This is awesome!

The Dschingis Khan goodness doesn't stop there.

 

 

That fact that these songs exist gives me a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, the human race isn't completely ****ed.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Quote

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Normally, I wouldn't link Rahsaan Roland Kirk playing fewer than 3 wind instruments at once, but this particular performance caught my fancy.  (Also, there really isn't enough live footage of the guy out there on the 'tubes.)

As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly, 
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Holy ****, my man rocks a recorder and a flute at the same time, then breaks out a saxophone, because, why the **** not?  Meanwhile his band is dropping down jazz deliciousness.  I can get down with this.  :yes:

This brings way too many childhood memories.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Heard it on some compilation album called Chain D.L.K. Compilation CD #1. Not usually a fan of German lyrics, but wumpscut can be an exception.

He also makes music with English lyrics. A classic:

 

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. 
 

I can't much stand that one due to the heavy vocoding. :(

 

Gosh, I hate ripping CDs with EAC. It's so...boring.
