Vlad and Boris: Love Song for Sarah Palin, our Alaskan Neighbor

vlad and friend boris presents 'Song for Sarah' for mrs. Palin. (via @andrewbaron)

  Vlad is not a typical Russian name – Vladimir or Vova is, not Vlad.

  Vladimirs usually go by Volodya or Vova, but Vlad is a nickname for Vladislav.

    @Antinuous, Tell that to Pootie-poot.

• [wolfiesma]

  I just finished watching Rufus Wainright’s All I Want docu-DVD (eat your heart out AntiNous) but I gotta say, these guys are way hotter. Are they really Russian, or are they just pretending?

    Are they really Russian, or are they just pretending?

    Nyet. Maybe.

• [mdh]

  Glad I watched to the end. That you betcha/doggonit bit was brilliant!

• [Enormo]

  @#20
  Thank you.

• [Isaac Cates]

  These guys are no Red Elvises, mind you, but I think the song is pretty inspired. I hope these guys get to meet Sarah by and by.

• [wolfiesma]

  Xeni,
  For some reason (many reasons) I want to dedicate this song to you.

  My little five-year-old girl just caught the last bit of this video as I watched it. Her comments:

  “It’s silly, but I like it. I wonder who Joe is? Maybe it’s the boy in the white shirt.”

  I think I’ll spare her the bigger picture until she’s a lot older.

  This has been a brilliant campaign for vernacular music videos. I’ve been collecting them since spring.

• [doggo]

  Doggone it.

  I like pie and earworms

• [Roach]

  Yeah, that’s way too nice of a room to be in Russia.

• [seva]

  moderately amusing, but those guys are not Russian at all. Judging by their look (hair and clothes), if they are not westerners dressed up, they are probably Romanians, Hungarians or Gypsies, the Vodka on the window is not a Russian brand, and Vlad is not a typical Russian name – Vladimir or Vova is, not Vlad.

  see how they feed

  When I was young we practiced hiding under school desks or running out into the hall; on Saturdays at noon, the sirens were tested. Years later, we lived just outside of the blast damage radius of the military base and would think about life after the bomb. People would list the things needed to survive, but all anyone in our area needed was one can of tuna, because they probably wouldn’t have an appetite or time to eat. I remember sitting with visions of thousands of bomb disease victims, dead in the streets, holding their cans of tuna. Then there was Fishbone; Johnny go get your gun, for the Commies are in our hemisphere today.

  Wherever they’re from I liked their video.

• [cstatman]

  wow, TWO songs stuck in my head at once, battling for supreme hilarity of the day.

  MUST CLEAR EARWORM

  Hahahahaha

  I like the part where he is drinking vodka in the dark, yelling at the computer screen, “Why won’t you reply to my e-mails?!”

• [Ed Bear]

  Awesome. This is my new favorite thing for today.

• [Xeni “Hussein” Jardin]

  Glad you guys dig. I think I have a crush on both of these commie hotties.

  • [Antinous]
