And a Russian song I can't find on YouTube
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find one of my current favorites, Diskomafia's "Дайте денег," which I would translate as, "Gimme some money." In fact, I think I'll take a shot at translating (quite freely!) this hilarious song, despite the fact that humor doesn't usually translate well out of one language into another. (You should know that Seryoga is a Russian rapper who had a big hit called "Chorniy Boomer" = "Black Beamer" not long before this one came out; and "A nu-ka!" is a mild Russian exclamation that means something like "Oy!" or "Woo-hoo!"...in fact I think I'll just translate it as "yee-haw." Close enough, even if it is a somewhat bizarre way of pretending that this particular Russian pop band is composed of rednecks.)
If you can track the song down someplace, and you're old enough to catch the musical allusions in the song, you'll note instantly that the song starts off with the guitar riff from "Pretty Woman" (gotta admit that's one of the great all-time riffs), and then goes into a musical takeoff from the old Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs song "Wooly Bully." Which just makes it that much more fun for old dudes like me.
GIMME SOME MONEY (ДАЙТЕ ДЕНЕГ)
I heard that Seryoga got a black Beamer cheap
And I was a bit envious (aha) -- not dying or anything --
And everyone knows, that his super-hit helped him out
So now the boy has gotten really very famous
Well, here’s my deal – I want a Mercedes!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, who can pony up that much!?! Hey, yee-haw!!
СHORUS
Gimme some money
A bit more money
Gimme some money
A bit more money (give me the money, give me the money)!!!
No need to be snobby; just help me get rich, YEAH!!!
So now my smash hit’s ready (aha),
A couple of chords on one of my songs,
And on TV (and on TV), my song just keeps on playing,
So why does this John dude call me every evening
Saying, “Buddy, you’re a genius!!”
Well, I fired right back, “Thanks a lot, sure, but I’d rather you give me the money!” Hey, yee-haw!
CHORUS
Gimme some money [“John”: yee-haw, Gimme some money]
A bit more money [“John”: gimme, gimme some money]
Gimme some money [“John”: can’t do nothin’ without the cash]
A bit more money [“John”: that’s the way it works around here]
Hey, yee-haw, anything tangible helps out on the material side!!!
Right? (RIGHT!!) Ay, you da dudes!
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
So, back to the fashionable parties, the city casino (aha)
To my girlfriend I’m a superstar; she proposed, we booked the flight, (oh yeah)
A two-week honeymoon, bright sun, azure coast!
And look here, now she says all sweet-like – [her, in her best eyelash-fluttering little-girl tones] “Baby, gimme some money!!” [him] Auugghh!!
CHORUS
[the girls]: Gimme some money
[him: aha, aha]
A bit more money [sounds of her faking passion],
Gimme some money
A bit more money,
Gimme some money
A bit more money, gimme the money!!
Guys: Gimme some money [Girls: Gimme some money]
A bit more money [Girls: a bit more money]
Gimme some money [Girls: Gimme some money]
A bit more money [Girls: a bit more money]
You don’t have to worry about leaving with the money, YEAH!!!
(ONE MORE TIME!)
Gimme some money (thank you, thank you)
A bit more money (aha, aha, well, yee-haw!)
Gimme some money
A bit more money (gimme the money, gimme the money!)
Gimme some money
A bit more money, gimme the money!!
Now those of you who know Russian can tell me how well I did:
ДАЙТЕ ДЕНЕГ
Вст.
Слыхал, не дорого взял Серёга черный бумер
Я даже чуть–чуть от зависти (ага), не умер,
И люди понимают, что помог ему лишь супер хит,
И стал пацан реально очень знаменит,
Ну, мой интерес – я хочу Мерседес!!!
Дамы и господа, кто сколько сможет!!! А ну-ка!!
ПРИПЕВ
Дайте денег
Побольше денег

Побольше денег (деньги давай, деньги давай!!!)
Не надо суетиться, помогите обогатиться, ДА!!!
А вот уже и типа шлягер готов (ага),
Парочка аккордов на одном из ладов,
И на ТВ, (и на ТВ) – моя песня звучит,
И почему – то этот Джон мне каждый вечер звонит,
И говорит – парень – ты гений!!
Ну я ему так прямо ответил, спасибо конечно, но лучше – дайте денег! А ну-ка!
ПРИПЕВ
Дайте денег (ну-ка, дайте денег)
Побольше денег (дайте, дайте денег)

Да? (ДА!!!) Ай, молодцы!
Проигрыш
И снова модные тусовки, казино города (ага)
Для своей подруги я супер звезда, она предложила, мы полетели, ( о – е)
Медовый месяц на две недели, яркое солнце, лазурный берег!
И вот тут она мне ласково так – котик дай мне денег!! А!!
ПРИПЕВ
Дайте денег (ага, ага)
Побольше денег
Дайте денег

Побольше денег, денег Дай!!
