YouTube Rodeo Roundup

[spatch]

Gentlemen, we have achieved awesomeness: A young man who can not play any musical instrument whatsoever composes a little tune.

And now we're gonna get totally wicked with

DSCHINGHIS KHAN

and, imagine if you will, this next Dschinghis Khan clip as a Christopher Guest movie. Starring Parker Posey and Jane Lynch as the ladies, and Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer as the fellows.

Oh my.


EDIT: Oh cripes, there's a cowboy-themed number here too. DESPERADO, WHY DON'T YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES?

Man, all of them could do the Half-Assed Cossack Dance but they only saved it until right at the end? That's some top-shelf showmanship right there.

Hey, it was Eurovision and that was their secret weapon! They had to save it for their showstopping big finish!

If you poke around the related YouTube links for the Moskau video, you'll find a version performed by four teenage boys for what looks like a school project.

It starts out kinda slow and boring, you know, four gawky-looking teens nervously shuffling back and forth to the music, but then all of a sudden it's as if someone turns the "awesome" switch on and the kids nail every single dance step. Including the Half-Assed Cossack Dance and the Side-To-Side-Jump.

I was impressed, but it took a moment or two.
