Video of the year

Video of the year:

"Electronik, Supersonik" by the Molvanian pop duo ZLAD!. This was Molvania's entry for the 2004 Eurovision song contest, but the tiny Eastern European republic was disqualified from the Contest that year. ZLAD! were to perform this very popular techno-ballad described as "a melodic fusion combining hot disco rhythms with cold war rhetoric". After barely 2 days on the Molvanian "Rhythm & Polka" charts, the track went platinum -- remarkable considering it was only available on cassingle.





There second video didn't quite make the charts outside of Eastern Europe:

Propoganda

This blog really needs more posts, so I've decided to post something. I don't think you (who ever you are reading this) have ever heared of the crazed President of Turkmenistan. They called him Trukmenbashi (father of the turkmens), and he died yesterday of a sudden heartattack. This man was so mentaly deluted that he closed down all hospitals in Turkmesnistan outside that capital city of Ashgabat, lowered the required school age from 12 years old to 9 years old as to "dumb" down the people, and banned all forms of Opera. I found this video glorifying Turkmenbashi to be rather entertaining.





On the subject of Propaganda, I found the video below which is dedicated to the people of Jerusalem by Sadam Hussein. The title "Ya Quds" translated out of Arabic and into English means "Hey Jerusalem". I can't really unterstand it, but I have a pretty educated guess that the man with the Ak47 singing the song is telling the people of Jerusalem that God will evenge their unfair treatment by Isreal. Watch for the timed gun shots of Sadam Husseins rifle on the beat of the song.
