A Finnish new-wave band… called The Leningrad Cowboys… backed up by the Soviet Red Army Choir… singing “Sweet Home Alabama“…

Yes.

I don’t know when this concert was held, but I really hope it was in cold war times because I would have to give serious credit to this geo-political anachronism for knocking down the Berlin Wall by sheer force of irony alone.

I wonder if the choir singers knew what they were singing, or if they were just following along phonetically.
