My Strange Introduction to Russians

Today I got a present from Brigham and Alex. This is what it was: 



Things to enjoy about this song:

1. The instrumentalists with bags over their heads. I'm crediting the bags to one of two reasons: A. they can't actually keep a straight face during the song or B. if they look at him, his hypnotic smile distracts them from playing. Also, I would like to do a little call out to the accordion player. It takes a high level of talent to play the accordion with black cloth covering your face. 
2. The audience. From my understanding, the bowing is impromptu. Kind of like a weird modern day Shaker assembly... but without religion to explain their weird behavior.
3. The Japanese subtitles. (I apologize if they aren't Japanese. I am fairly uncultured when it comes to Asian linguistics.) But apparently they share my love of Russian culture.
4. His dance moves. And smile. And eyes. And dance moves. And smile. AND dance moves. And high notes... No explanation needed.
5. The key change. You didn't think he could go higher? Yea, well, he can. 

All in all, every time I get stressed for the next week, this is going to be my go to pick me up. And if I get bored of this one, if that is even possible, I'll just watch him singing techno in a white, full suited, bell bottomed onesie. I'm not even making this up- it's on the Tube. 

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. If it's just one of those things that AK thinks is hilarious and the rest of the world doesn't appreciate, I'll keep him to myself. I'm finding this song highly addicting...

I should probably check if it's against the honor code.
