GORBACHOV: THE MUSIC VIDEO - BIGGER AND RUSSIANER

wow

That's either be best video ever, or the worst.

I meant *the* best video ever

That's hilarious. Does he have the lyrics on his website? It's obviously in heavily accented English, and the dude has a great eye for camp.

Awesome. Tom Stern's comments:

I did this video for a Russian Metal Band called ANJ. It is pretty crazy. When I saw the lyrics it seemed to be an earnest tribute to Mikael Gorbachov (that's how the Russians spell it), so I was a bit confounded about what the video concept should be, but then I had a brainstorm to take it way over the top and I think it was just the thing. Suffice to say it's half Russian History allegory as told through an old zombie movie made in the Soviet Union, and half animated Soviet Propaganda posters. It's in HD, so let it load a bit before you play it and then click the little "four arrows" symbol on the lower right part of the viewer to see it in true HD. BTW- the band has asked that I include their myspace address: myspace.com/anjkill

Found the lyrics in a comment:

Over Mother Russia
There are moans and crys
The convicted ones are marching
to the never lands to die.

The sound of birds' singing
is a farewell song,
But this endless plain
is where they belong.

But one escaped
Out of guardman's sight
With his only dream –
To Let his country rise.

Freedom was the goal
He was dreaming of,
And that person's name
Is Michael Gorbachov

Against the oppressor –
I'm the new tsar successor!

Hey, it's time to spill the masters' blood,
Time for us to rise up from the mud.
Gorbachov , a simple Cossack man,
By his side we'll free our native land.

Perestroika baby!!!!!!!!

Awesome.
