Looks like the pop cultural usurpation of politics is not limited to the US.

What isn’t shown is that the Event took place at the lubianka and Putin was the only one who left.

......sings "Blueberry Hill"(Fats Domino original).....

FYI:

The song "Blueberry Hill" was recorded by the Big Band Great Glenn Miller years before Fats even heard of it.

Just a little history lesson.
BTW, I'm a Fats Domino fan too.
But...
I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Thanks for the correction. Good to know that Glenn Miller performed it first.

You're welcome. Don't feel too bad though. Most people think it's a Fats Domino song.
You'd be surprised how many songs of the 1950's were older tunes redone in the 50's "rock & roll" style.
I'm talkin' there were bunches of 'em.

Pat Boone's "Love Letters In The sand", for instance, was written way back in 1920's.
Yet it was one of Pat's "signature tunes" back in the 50's.
Most people believe he wrote it.

At the risk of beating a dead horse:

Here's another clip of the Leningrad Cowboys and the Red Army Choir and Ensemble doing "Sweet Home Alabama".

They are then joined by a commie Elvis impersonator (who sounds like he has a slight hairlip), and perform "Dancing in the streets". (Elvis? Wasn't that Martha & The Vandellas?)
