Russian Collusion?!?

That Leo Moracchioli always seemed like a suspicious sort, what with his puppets and hats and fake beards and Italian-sounding name although he's allegedly a Norwegian... but does he reveal himself as a Russian asset with this song? SIGNS POINT TO YES!!11!!!!!111

What other explanation could there be for it being so great!?!

Here's the original version, so you have something to compare it to...

Ra-Ra-RASPUTIN!

When I was a little kid, a favorite record of my friends and I was Boney M's "Night Flight to Venus."

One of my favorite songs of it was "Rasputin". Just for the heck of it, here are some versions. Feel free to dance around and sing like an idiot if you want to feel like a bunch of 11 year olds in 1979.

Let's kick things off with the original.


Here's a hard-rock cover from Turias.


And no collection of videos would be complete without a cover played on ukeles. It's almost authentically Russian, no? Ukuleles are a poor man's balalaika, I'm told!
