- Personal theme song: Song of the Volga Boatmen (Red Army Choir)

Just amazing what they do with it.

The group as a whole has staggering vocal power with stunning dexterity.

The incredible thing is, I was talking with a chap on another forum who'd only ever heard the Glenn Miller version. I pulled up the Red Army Choir version and said "No, THIS is Song of the Volga Boatmen".

The guy was blown away by the running red tide of the REAL Volga Boatmen. (Admitted later he couldn't listen to the Glenn Miller version anymore.)
