Another Russian video Dessie and I have always gotten a big kick out of

I like the cheerful peasant choir the most, I think, but the restaging of the paintings is fun too, as is Valyeriy Meladze's shameless hamming it up on his throne. The guy makes great videos, in large part because he doesn't take himself too seriously even though his music is first-rate. (No telling how long this one will stay up on YouTube, by the way.)



Oh, and the three girls? They're the Russian girl-band "Via Gra" -- which you should carefully pronounce "viaGRA," not "viAGra," despite the similarity of their effects on the average guy.
