We Are The Champions in Tatar

This is different – a cover of Queen’s We Are The Champions by a group of Tatars willing the Russian team on to victory in the Winter Olympics.  I have absolutely no doubt that if Freddy Mercury were still alive he would give a wholehearted thumbs up to this gloriously kitschy rendition of one of Queen’s better known rock anthems.  It’s not just the whole camp aesthetics of the thing – its the joy with which it is sung that makes this such a delight.

    However qute this might look, I can’t help but see Weird Al Yankovic’s face somewhere in that group, happily playing te harmonica or something like that…

    Foreigner1… Weird Al would fit right in with his accordion.

    If I hadn’t heard the original song, I’d think this was a traditional tune. Insane-o-crazy!

    I liked it. I wouldn’t call it kitschy but ethnic.
