Smoke on the Leningrad Cowboys
The depths of Youtube never cease to amaze me… Smoke on the Water soviet hillbilly kitsch style. This one is performed by a band from Finland called Leningrad Cowboys:

Thanks to Doug MacBeath for bringing this up for your viewing pleasure.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
try this one, it’s from Senor Coconut, and from an album with covers from deep purple, the doors, michael jackson etc in salsa/mambo style. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=Puc0ZiVRESU
January 23rd, 2008 at 20:30Hilarious!!!
January 23rd, 2008 at 22:37I too am LOL but the audience apparently is really into it, my son says it is “similar” to a Flaming Lips show??………. boy I’m old…………..
January 23rd, 2008 at 22:50That’s the most original cover of Smoke I’ve ever heard. And no riff until the end!
January 24th, 2008 at 04:50????????????????????? 8-0 !

Reflects our character quite well, doesn’t it 🙂

January 24th, 2008 at 14:26I’d accept see the pope derided
rather than Deep Purple (:-P)
too ridiculous “English” accent from the vocalist :)))
January 24th, 2008 at 21:44well,this is , what would call-finnish huomor……i have to admit-not very found of either,,,but,like we-harmless….
January 25th, 2008 at 01:10ELVIN BISHOP MEETS DR SCUESS MEETS DEVO MEETS RED SKELTON MEETS SATAN…………GOD HELP ME, I LIKED IT.
January 25th, 2008 at 02:27My dad was a huge fan of the Leningrad Cowboys, I’ll have to send him this link! Very funny! Go Finland!
January 25th, 2008 at 11:15Just proves that”Smoke” is more than just a riff!! It’s a great song that can be (and is) covered in many different styles!
January 25th, 2008 at 13:16I’m doing a Gregorian Chant of Highway Star. Video coming soon.
January 25th, 2008 at 18:50I prefer the Senor Coconut version, they use the RIFF which admit it it is the MAIN FEATURE of the song………….
The FINNISH one is drivel/shit/scheisse/stront………………
I recently saw a Japanese version which seemed very nice too……….
January 25th, 2008 at 21:42I’m watching this again and I am amazed with the crowd, they absolutely love this stuff and it almost grows on ya, wonder what the lads would think about it!
January 26th, 2008 at 23:49enjoyable and excellent shoes!
January 27th, 2008 at 07:18I have seen it live in Denmark many years ago. It was GREAT – BIG time great and fun!
