You're kind of late with the video. This was a big thing back in 2010. The singer passed soon after learning about his newfound popularity and seemed a decent sort.

He did seem like a friendly and decent dude.

BTW, for those needing context for this video, Eduard was supposed to sing a song on Russian TV about a cowboy finally returning to his home after being on the trail for a while. But the network BANNED the song at the last minute, as it seemed to celebrate the joys of property ownership, which, in Soviet Russia, was forbidden to talk about, let alone sing about. The workaround was Eduard just "scatting" to the song's tune, and history was made.

We all laugh at this video now. Putin and Trump are working hard to bring that exact censorship bullshit to America.

Retired mortician (funeral director and embalmer).

My neighbor asked me to give him a haircut and I told him to lie down lol. I've finally figure out how to cut the hair of the living.

My son wore one for a sweetheart dance and I had to make him lay on the couch to get it right.
