The Red Army Choir’s “Sweet Home Alabama”
Okay, I was late to the party on this one but it is worth it. In fact I need to ask those friends of mine who do drugs if this is what a “trip” is like.
Here is how To the Point describes it.
-
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.
