Wow… really not sure what to say about this one…

Since LOST is in its mid-season break, I really didn’t know what to write about last night so I did what all good bloggers do with writers block…I started surfin the net! And then I came across this gem.

Just kinda leaves you wonderin doesn’t it? So, here is the story as I understand it…

The group is called The Leningrad Cowboys and they’re from Finland. Although I’ve never heard of The Leningrad Cowboys, apparently they’re famous for their humorous songs and wild concerts featuring the Soviet Red Army Choir.

The Soviet Red Army Choir (a/k/a Choir Aleksandrov) is a group that actually served as the official choir of the Soviet Union’s Red Army. Since gigs with the Red Army haven’t been all that great for about the last 10 years or so, the group has continued performing on their own inside and outside of Russia.

I believe the video is from an appearance the Leningrad Cowboys made with The Soviet Red Army Choir in 1994 at the MTV Music Awards in New York. Although the accent is TOTALLY wrong (lol) you can clearly make out that they’re doing that Lynard Skynard classic and Alabama state song…Sweet Home Alabama.

Wow. Just had to share this with ya!

PS – Since you’ve already killed 2 minutes of your life with the Leningrad Cowboys, how about another 30 seconds or so with the Young Turks. You’ll catch the relationship in the last 3 seconds of the vid. Enjoy!
