Kanada Kev Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Check this out. Anyone else seen other covers of this bizarre nature?http://www.tothepointnews.com/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3114&pop=1&page=0&Itemid=76 ROCKING RUSSKIES PrintWritten by To The Point News Thursday, 06 March 2008Prepare yourself for this one - maybe with a Stoli martini or two. Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of "Sweet Home Alabama." In English. You couldn't make this up.We're talking seriously off the wall here. Better have that Stoli ready when you watch it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leningrad_CowboysIn 1994, the band appeared together with 70 members of the Red Army Choir at the 11th annual MTV Music Awards, at the Radio City Music Hall in New York, where they sang the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic Sweet Home Alabama. The show was seen by an estimated 250 million people worldwide.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
