Hey, an Эдуард Хиль thread! You didn’t even post the good ones. [Here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY8qsXkidtw) another performance in a similar vein, but with actual lyrics. If you’d prefer something without the ear-to-ear grin and tralalas, [here he is](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWlgs6-pM10) bringing sexy back\* to Soviet state-owned television. _Or perhaps cruelly mocking people with Down’s syndrome._\* \*\*Unless he’s just showing off his Michael Cera impression. It’s really _really_ hard to tell what’s he’s going for. ---

The problem with letting vampires on TV is that they never update their look or style. ---

I’m stunned. This guy looks like he’s too whitebread to be in an Osmond Family reunion. Lawrence Welk would have rejected him as too bland/phony. ---

No, actually he’s alive and well, and seems to have made the transition to decadent capitalist music videos _quite_ effortlessly.
