Re: Uplifting tune with poignant lyrics

Sorry, didn't mean to look smarter than I am. I have no idea what he's singing so maybe I shouldn't have commented (maybe it the lyrics are truly poignant). I just like the tune. Seriously, makes me think about old movies and feel like going on a buggy ride. (but then I'm a horse lover). Have a sneaky suspicion that "poignant" is a "tongue in cheek" since it sounds a lot like "ladidadida" to me (but then I don't speak russian and the title looks like it would be in russian).

Re: Uplifting tune with poignant lyrics

I get it now. The first 3 times I clicked on this thread, there was no link. I just thought that Rich messed up again. But I just watched the video and that guy is hilarious! I like his facial expressions and hip dance moves the best.

Re: Uplifting tune with poignant lyrics

The link may not work since so many people are accessing it. So much uplifting to do..so little bandwidth.

Re: Uplifting tune with poignant lyrics

I knew you'd figure it out Bill ... you're no one's fool.

Rich is a little, how can I say this, different. And I
mean different in the nicest possible way ... really, I
do. But I had a party one night and Rich came over
and put my salt and pepper in the fridge .... what's up
with that???

Re: Uplifting tune with poignant lyrics

The Cyrillic script on the intro to the video means: TA! DA!

No - it translates as "Me, I am so happy while I am going home."

Guess that is why the big grin - his Russky hottie awaits?

Re: Uplifting tune with poignant lyrics

Thanks for my daily crack up! I truly admire the costume and scenery design. He looks like he could give us some good advice on some pain killers/mood enhancers! I wanna walk down the street like that everyday. lol
