My God, what did they do to their hair ????

[phesina]

Oh, here's an even better version of this that doesn't have them all fogged out by the smoke effects: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lNFR...eature=related This one also includes female members of the group!

I don't know how they do that with the hair, or if those are wigs or extensions or God-knows-what. Did you notice their shoes also are much longer than usual and curl up at the ends?

The Leningrad Cowboys are a Finnish rock band, and I think I read that the backup musicians really are the Red Army Choir (interesting direction they've taken since the breakup of the Soviet Union! ). They've done many performances together.

San Jacinto- P Gabriel.

Medicine man lead me up though town - Indian ground - so far down
Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water wings - drink in cool
Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top -keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow

I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear
San Jacinto - I hold the line....

Cities - Talking Heads

Think of London, a small city

It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to

CHORUS

I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points and bad points
But it all works out
I'm a little freaked out
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in.

There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there!...A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done

Down El Paso way things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north and come back south
Still got no idea where in the world they are.

Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river.
