First of all, don't take this too seriously, even though everything that I'm going to write is true. Russia still is a completely different animal.

This video came out somewhat recently and already made a lot of buzz around itself. Basically some guy from St. Petersburg wrote the song, dedicated to his friend and all the "combine harvester drivers" working out in the fields. You kind of have to understand russian in order to enjoy it, nevertheless I found the lyrics interesting, I'll provide a translation of my own below. It has a little bit of everything - sad fortune of russian village, vodka, Condoleezza Rice and homophobia. Doomed to succeed.



Far away from big cities
Somewhere with no expensive boutiques
Where a different kind of people live
The ones that are never sung about
They don't shoot movies about them
Because they don't fit the TV format
And there's nothing about them on the internet
It's liek they don't even exist
They are young but they aren't students
They don't know neither "O.K." nor "Lenta"
They've never been to a sushi bar
or a tanning room
They don't have expensive furniture
They don't care for emo culture
They don't spend time on facebook or even online
They just bust their asses driving combine harvesters


Drank some C2H5OH
Hopped on Niva Rostselmash
on DT, Don500, T150 (all harvester models)
Fed the piglets beforehand
And went plowing, working barley fields
The day was going to be long and hard
But at least you know every screw inside your harvester
And get payed about 3k rubles a month (~100$)
Combine harverster driversssssss


They've all served in the army
No one dodged, pretending he had hemorrhoids
Combine harvester drivers, tractor drivers, watermelon truck loaders
These guys are not what glam girls dream about
And let the faggots have fun in Moscow
Because as long as we have these guys
Let the enemies know, let that bitch Condoleezza Rice know
NATO scum is never going to bust us


Drank some C2H5OH
Hopped on Niva Rostselmash
on DT, Don500, T150
Fed the piglets beforehand
And went plowing, working barley fields
The day was going to be long and hard
But at least you know every screw inside your harvester
And get payed about 3k rubles a month (~100$)
Combine harverster driversssssss

Internet must be pretty boring in Russia if this is going viral....
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

thanks for linking this. I always enjoy glimpsing into different ways of life around the world, especially those that aren't really prominent.

almost 300k views, too.

@sob3k, rather than everything else being boring for this video to garner attention, how about people being interested in a look into something different?

I really liked it, I'm just a bit surprised that other people do. I thought that people all around the world only listened to hip hop and pop (and rap too) anymore. I'm glad to be proven wrong.

I really enjoyed the music.

Do you care sharing what kind of music is this?

Oh, finally found the video.

Accordion when well played is freaking amazing:

Love it

I'm glad some of you guys liked it, I don't know what genre this would classify as, probably in between folk and bard music (bard).

What stands out about this is the emotional component and the lyrics, the guy is good with his instrument too but definitely isn't what one considers amazing. The instrument is called "bayan", it's a bit different from accordion.

When you said "combine harvester drivers" I first though about Formula 1 lol
I'm posting on twoplustwo because I have always been amazed at the level of talent that populates this site --- it's almost unparalleled on the Internet.
