Sweet Home Alabama


The Leningrad Cowboys is a Finnish rock and roll band famous for its humorous songs
and concerts featuring the Soviet Red Army Choir.
Currently, the band has eleven Cowboys and two Leningrad Ladies.
The songs, all somewhat influenced by polka and progressive rock,
and performed in English, have themes such as 'vodka', 'tractors', 'rockets',
and 'Genghis Khan', as well as folkloric Russian songs, rock and roll ballads
and covers from bands as diverse as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Lynyrd Skynyrd,
all with lots of humour. -----------------------------------
The Red Army Choir (Choir Aleksandrov) is a performing ensemble that served
as the official army choir of the former Soviet Union's Red Army.
The choir consists of a male choir, an orchestra, and a dance ensemble.
The songs they perform range from Russian folk tunes to Church hymns,
operatic arias and popular music.
In 1991, The Red Army Choir participated in Roger Waters' The Wall concert celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall.
They performed an anti-war song "Bring the Boys Back Home".
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union,
the Red Army Choir has continued performing,
entertaining audiences both inside and outside Russia. «

An Irish joke
Irish they were and drunk for sure, and they sat in the corner
of Mulligan's newly refurbished bar.
Across the wall opposite was a huge mirror,
fourteen feet long and stretching from floor to ceiling.
Glancing around the room Pat suddenly spotted their reflection in the mirror.
'Mick, Mick,' he whispered.
'Don't look now but there's two fellas over there the image of us!'
'In the name of God,' said Mick, spotting the reflection.
'They're wearing identical clothes and everything.'
'That does it,' said Pat. 'I'm going to buy them a drink.'
But as Pat started to rise from his seat, Mick said,
'Sit down Pat one of them's coming over

Burning CD's

In the country lived a family that made its living weaving cloth.

One day, a debt collector knocked on the door.
"Is Jack home?" he asked the woman who answered the door.
"I'm sorry," the woman replied.

"Jack's gone for cotton."
A few weeks later the collector tried again.

"Is Jack here today?"
Once again the answer was

"No, sir, I'm afraid he has gone for cotton."
When he returned for the third time and Jack was still nowhere to be seen,

he complained,

"I suppose Jack is gone for cotton again?"
"No," the woman answered solemnly,

"Jack died yesterday."
Suspicious that he was being avoided,

the collector decided to wait a week and investigate the cemetery.

Sure enough, he found poor Jack's tombstone, with this inscription:

"Gone, But Not for Cotton."
