The first offering has lyrics by famous advertising copywriter Salman Rushdie. The second is a version of U2's One created for Bank of America, titled One Bank. By the time you get to The Gazprom Song, you will have already gone quite mad. [popbitch]

    It’s a product, not corporate, theme song, but “The Answer” by the GE Silicones is stunning. …and long. And sounds like someone singing a brochure.

        I don’t know… I found it compelling and even educational. 1973 was more modern than I realized when it came to materials sciences. I watched the whole thing.

    The anthem of ПЦБК, or Perm Pulp and Paper Company (my father worked there) is also pretty cool, especially if you know the language.

    For example, the refrain is something like:
    “Subdivisions of PPPC
    Are together a great force,
    And the trucks are carrying to the regions of the country
    Cardboard boxes from Russia’s Urals”.

      Actually if you don’t know the language you can pretend they’re not singing about cardboard, but some epic love drama.
