“When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.”

You’d rather not know anymore about it, believe me.

An evil person might suggest replacing the audio on the murder footage with the ‘Trololo’ song from the OP. That would be disturbing.

Was _Leningrad Cowboys Go America_ ever released on DVD? I only have the VHS.

Am I the only one that (as of yet) feels that [Charlie the Unicorn](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5im0Ssyyus) is the most disturbing YouTube vid I’ve seen?

Well, perhaps not counting the banana song in [CTU2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFCSXr6qnv4&feature=channel)?

Somehow the cartoon aspect makes me more weird-ed out then just boring ol’ humans.

And they say white guys can’t dance?

I lived in West Berlin back when the wall was up, and you could see East German television shows. Let’s just say that this video was pretty much the East German idea of hip and happening. More fun was to watch when they would pan the camera to the audience, all clapping in the same beat, but NONE of the audience smiling. It was bizarre to watch - but oddly fascinating at the same time.

BTW, here are some [East German dancers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSEqyraGFVo) showing how to impress your friends at the disco with some dance lessons for ya!  
I wonder if they could get on Dancing With The Stars - that would make me finally watch the show!

I’ve had Trololo stuck in my head all day long. It’s disturbingly cheery.

If you want disturbing/unsettling, try Electric Wizard - Doom-Mantia: http:/ /www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4OawzSoxMM&feature=related Uses footage from some strange movie called begotten. It’s some strange shit, grainy, black and white, gory. Not real detailed but probably NSFW and NSFS (not safe for sanity), so I edited and broke the link.

Great band though.

Anyone want to describe the video in the OP’s link, so I can decide whether I want to experience that level of disturbance?

There are no words at all, just “Yohohohohohoho. Yahahaha…”

Unless you use lyrics about your pet…

What?

It’s totally harmless. It’s an odd-looking Lawrence Welk-ish singer from Soviet Russia doing a song in the “vocalize” (I think that’s it) style. It is catchy, though…

What’s disturbing is that songs like this, with euphemistic lyrics or just trollolollo lyrics, all really mean “Life is great 'cause I’ve been getting laid,” which in this guy’s case especially I don’t want to know about.

That was the best! If I were President and negotiating a new treay wiht the Russians, I’d open with that and then say, “We won, you lost, here are our terms…” Oh, and they did “Gimmie All Your Lovin” by ZZ Top as well–interspersed with the Russian National Anthem.
