Gotta love a version of this song that incorporates accordion...

Something light for your enjoyment. I thought this was a pretty good rendition. Although the choir could stand to loosen up a bit.
Enjoy!

I didn’t think it was the real Red Army Chorus until I heard the primary tenors hold that last note. It’s them, and we won the Cold War. It’s official.

I don’t know if it is the band’s hair or the size of the chorus’ hats - but this rockski!

I’m kinda weak on the original. Is it safe to assume a lack of Volga boatmen?

Haven’t enjoyed a song so much since I heard “Step Right Up” by Tom Waits followed by “Detachable Penis” by King Missile back in the day on WHFS in DC.

There ain't no Volga boatmen in the South, unless they're on bass boats!

BTW: I went to the HFStival in 1993, 1994, 1995.
I remember at least some of those shows.
I think.
