Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer

2. The balalaika

and accordian accompaniment make it special.

[Ptah]

3. I was wondering about that triangle stringed instrument.

Thanks for the knowledge.

:hi:

4. I saw that today

Twenty years ago would you have ever imagined seeing something like this?

[Ptah]

8. I love the Red Army Choir for enjoying that.

What a country!

:thumbsup:

[conscious evolution]

17. Gotta agree

You could tell they were getting into it.

[IzaSparrow]

5. that was bizarre.

i just am not sure what to think.

[cloudbase]

6. I think it shows that art and culture

trump all the crap that politicians and countries throw at each other, and that's not a bad thing.

Love that hair and those shoes.

[Ptah]

9. I think I need to have a chiropracter look at my neck after that.

WTF *look* snap

ouch

verrry interesting.

[ForrestGump]

7. Let me hear your balalaika ringing out...

Most excellent. And kind of like the Beatles singing about being back in the USSR, but in reverse, and good music from start to Finnish.

The hair scares me, though. And the shoes...

[Ptah]

10. the hair. The Hair. THE HAIR!!!

[Ava]

11. hmmm.. interesting

as an alabama gal though, i much prefer the original ;)

[Ptah]

13. Of course you do.

I am intrigued that the Red Army choir did that.

The cross-cultural mix-up is the bomb.

[JBoy]

12. That was extremely interesting. Better than I imagined.

[Ptah]

14. It was a pleasent surprise for me too.

[Forkboy]
