[QUOTE=Khadaji] A warning: This is the tune from the famous RickRolled gag placed on top of a Muppets vid. [/QUOTE] For the record - I specifically called the video “Beaker Roll’d” in my post so as not to give anyone the impression that it was anything other than a Beaker version of “RickRolled.” The video is actually, as I said, well-done. Not like it’s a link to a screamer or porn or anything. It’s funny because it is a mash-up of Beaker singing and the song “Never Gonna Give You Up.” That’s it. No reason to warn anyone, I don’t think, unless you have some allergy to “Never Gonna Give You Up.” ---

[Guinea Pig Way](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub3sX3praGE) I’m always really happy when I see one of these threads in Cafe Society. I love finding fun videos on YouTube but _hate_ sifting through the crap myself. I realize that many people will think the video I linked to falls into the “crap” category, but I like it. Maybe this will redeem me: [Wizard! You Shall Not Pass!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43sbtkQM6zc) . ---

[QUOTE=Pollux Oil] I don’t know if these have been posted in a youtube thread already, but I recently went through a bunch of movies “in 5 seconds” made by some guy, and some are pretty funny. My favorites are the renditions of [All the Rocky Movies](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj3xM4mFS9Y), [All the Batman Movies](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvTAgQOM15o) and [Sin City](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e-cyx0gsJk). Warning: the Sin City one has spoilers for anybody that hasn’t seen it. [/QUOTE] Those are hilarious, as well as some others by the same guy. ---

[QUOTE=OpalCat] The Red Army Choir (formerly of the U.S.S.R. but they still perform even though the union collapsed) and some Finnish band called the Leningrad Cowboys performing together: [Sweet Home Alabama](http://youtube.com/watch?v=0lNFRLrP014) Just how odd is that, conceptually?!

[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] Tell me that’s real, and not something I just imagined. :eek: [/QUOTE] Oh, it’s real. Leningrad Cowboys was originally a fictional band thought up by Aki Kaurismäki for a movie of his called “Leningrad Cowboys Do America”. Most of the members of this fictional movie band were in a band called Sleepy Sleepers at the time, and after the movie came out the fictional band took on a life of its own. Somewhere along the line, someone got an idea, and in June 1993, Leningrad Cowboys performed with the Red Army Choir in Helsinki under the name “Total Balalaika Show”. The next year, they did another concert with the Choir in Berlin, this time sponsored by Nokia. (Some newspapers, evidently not being completely up to date on things, played this up as a brilliant show of international co-operation: “A Japanese company sponsoring a Russian rock band”…both Nokia and LC are Finnish.) [Here’s](http://youtube.com/watch?v=0UuFJoexdlU) a complete version of “Sweet Home Alabama”. [This](http://youtube.com/watch?v=NhIMEMDYxZE) rendition of “Delilah” was filmed in the Helsinki concert in 1993. [This](http://youtube.com/watch?v=DSYpYoTEKV8) “Gimme All Your Lovin’” is from Berlin the following year. And [this](http://youtube.com/watch?v=sbvKs0mXxlw) is a clip from the movie from which they got started. The tune is a Finnish polka with an [interesting bit of history](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4kkij%C3%A4rven_polkka). My father’s male choir recorded a CD of Christmas carols with Jore Marjaranta, one of the singers (the one singing in Sweet Home Alabama, I think, but it’s a bit hard to recognize him in hair and make-up) in the mid-90’s, about 1996 maybe. When they held a concert, the other Leningrad Cowboys came to listen. It was pretty easy to pick them out: they were the gentlemen sitting completely stone-faced in the front row in black suits with long black hair and sunglasses on. When I lived in Texas, Nokia sponsored a day at Six Flags Over Texas for its employees, complete with a concert by Leningrad Cowboys (sans Red Choir…they had a problem with their visas). ---
