It’s a Finnish band with a Russian name wearing Kool World haircuts doing a Lynyrd Skynyrd song in English with the Red Army choir singing behind them. We don’t understand it either, but if they don’t play halftime at Bryant-Denny Stadium with this exact instrumentation and military vocal support, Alabama fans you have been cheated of something truly awesome.

Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

I met the Leningrad Cowboys in Berlin about 12 years ago. Truly one of the more surreal moments of my life. And yes, their hair defied gravity.

Those Russian soldiers could teach Alabamanians a thing or two about proper diction!

That is quite simply the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. The Red Army’s haunting “oohh-AAAH” at the end will stay with me for the rest of my natural life.

Is this the place to ask for everyone to go to NBC.com and vote for Roger as biggest loser?

I’ll be passing through Muscle Shoals tomorrow. I’ll stop and ask if they’ve still got “a Swamperz.”

If these guys had been the GridIron Bash band, they’d have packed out B-D, NCAA or no NCAA.
I am so playing this video at the tailgate every saturday… for the rest of my life.

I had just finnished (pun) my first Cabernet and started on the second when I watched this. I think I have ruptured a spleen or something from laughter.
Videos such as these are the reason I gave up “dank” years ago. My internal organs would not be able to take the abuse.

This is a 70’s Redneck nightmare, just after Nixon and Carter done sold out to the Ruskies..

Without the actual Red Army Choir that video is marginally amusing.
With the actual Red Army Choir there aren’t really words to describe its awesomeness properly.
Even farther up the HT tree, a HT to my buddy DS who sent that to me this morning before I shared it with Swindle.

As a huge Russophile and Finnophile this is awesome. I am aware of the contradiction in that statement. Owning a few recordings of the Red Army Chorus they are just amazing. I really like the way the Red Army Chourus ends with the chorus section of Eh, Ukhnyem. Okay I am exposing my geekiness and nerdiness.
Spasibo EDSBS!!

Anon IV, if it’s any consolation I have a Red Army choir CD and I’m not a Russophile. It’s good listening if you want to drink brake fluid and damn the dissidents.

Please-Oh-Please-Oh-Please! Have this exact show for the 2008 Iron Bowl. Can’t think of better evidence that America really did win the Cold War.
I also think there must be at least one Bama fan who claims to have called this one back in ‘79 during the invasion of Afghanistan, when he stated in a drunken stupor that:
“if the Bear were in charge, we’d kick those commies so bad that…”
Well, you know.

Turns out this show was on the 1994 MTV music award show:

I’m moving to an eastern bloc country. All I gotta do is repackage western culture with an ironic twist and itd be a gold mine, GOLD! Garth Brooks won’t mind If I Dress like an elf and sing some of his classics while running around on a hobby horse goosing czech models, will he?
It’s settled then, Call Aeroflot and make the arrangements.

Ehhh. Rather small beer. If you want to see the Cowboys REALLY blow your mind, get a copy of _Leningrad Cowboys Go America_. The poster alone was so marvelous that I have a huge copy hanging over my bed: “Do you know why the Americans do not like you? You are too pale.”
OK, you need to see the film to understand why that is screamingly funny, and why there is a frozen corpse sunning itself on the car…

[er, sorry, no coffee yet] Fulmer Cup Update - Brandon Wright, backup QB and RB for BETHUNE-COOKMAN, was arrested Monday night in his dorm room where police found cocaine, marijuana and a shotgun used in an attempted murder. Wright told police he was dealing drugs to make ends meet.
Eat that, D-1 bitches! Bethune-Cookman! Whooo-hooooo!

Didn’t Avery Atkins transfer to B-CC? What’s going on in Daytona these days? I thought everyone there lived a perfect life of bliss thanks to the beach, the track, and Hog Heaven BBQ. It seems more like Baylor-style [Dave] Bliss.

Awesome-ness; despite Skynyrd hailing from my fair city, I actually think I prefer the eastern euro-slav version…except for the elf shoes…put him in reef flipflops and we’re golden.

Cocktails to whomever dug that up.
Let’s see. Singers with phallic haircuts backed by Russians with jackboots and balalaika’s. Every queer in the Southeast paying $500 on Stubhub for an upper deck seat just to see the halftime show.
Just another afternoon at Circus Maximus.
