    fyi: that video isn't a real English translation. it's what they think the sounds sound like, if the sounds were English words. more like a transliteration. if that makes sense. the words are something to the gist of how great Moscow and Russia are. (my German's pretty bad these days)

    [Emoticon not found] I know! I thought it was hilarious because I went to the site expecting to hear the real translation and and instead I remember thinking at the first line, "Gosh, Russian sounds like a lot like English!" Yes, another confession, but to my credit I realized the truth in the second line.

    I especially thought it was funny because that was the technique I was using when Ransom taught me to sing that one song..... yes, I'm a dork. [Emoticon not found]

    Okay, I have a confession. I've been obsessing about this video ever since I saw it on here.

    me too! i've even gotten one of their albums. [Emoticon not found] and i'll probably make a ringtone out of the dschinghis khan song. 'cause it's awesome and things.

    That's amazing! I've heard that people crank it on their car stereos and watch the funny reactions on people's faces!

    Minn is the only one I know anything about for sure, but it seems like I might have heard o' Jeremy and/or Laura.

    As long as we're going there, don't forget to watch the whole number with Jumpin' at the Woodside dubbed over it.

    And if Snakehips disappears again, gosh darn it, this time I've got him on my hard drive!

    something that interests me as I watch snakehips' routine is how much this routine seems to be inspired by it. (wait for the white guy in the orange sweater). The part where david elsewhere starts melting into his knees seems really similar.

    Funny you should say that. While digging around for the clip, before I found it on myspace I found the dead link to it here, where they make the comparison, and state that Elsewhere "lists Snakehips Tucker as one of his big influences".

    Also, it's a pretty cool site.

    Allow me to present the Lezginka: a traditional dance of Daghestan, as performed by two guys with sweet jackets in a St. Petersburg subway.

    If you ever catch me trying to do knee-spins, this is probably what it's about.

    Allow me to direct to your attention the eight video clips at the bottom of the page-- each 20-30 seconds long. The link to the bigger video at the top isn't as cool, though the related videos do have some good stuff like this one.

    The second of the eight clips has a sweet solo, and is available on YouTube (in case you wanted it on... you know... YouTube...)

    here's one
    i dunno, i think i have similar opinion about argentine tango on so you think you can dance (sytycd) as i have about lindy on sytycd: nice effort, but it's not quite there. then again, they have just a few days to learn a dance, not years. still, i'd rather watch people who actually know how to dance than the kids on sytycd.
