I have been watching foreign language YouTube videos, inspired by one a friend sent me: this one (although I'm not entirely sure I should call it foreign language). That led me to the original (which is almost as good! I mean bad!), and from there I moved on to a video which contained a mysterious button-pushing woman with a floating chandelier, a lineup of multi-coloured (but uniformly dull) suits, and an amazing portable music player. Aside from the portable music player, that one left me feeling baffled – but also entertained. (In an intellectual way, of course. Everybody knows that if you enjoy foreign videos you must be an intellectual.)
To finish off, I listened to some foreign music, and was surprised.
Yes, surprised is the right word, I think.
Over six million people have seen that last video since it was uploaded four years ago (and I can totally see why) but somehow it had passed me by.
Had you seen it?

I had never seen that. I watched yours and 2 more. He is cute! He loves the camera and it loves him.
The button-pressing woman is a soviet commercial from the 80s. The commercial is for a switcher that allows you to dim the lights gradually. Yep, they had a four-minutes commercial just for that. And the guy from the first video (Eduard Hill)was an idol in the 70s, adored by many Soviet women.
never heard of Vitas....but boy, I love his voice and his kind of music...coming also from a Slavic country myself I could quite a lot relate to this sort of music and totally love it!
Thanks for pointing this out..it would have remained unseen otherwise
Yes, I did, but what Russian didn't? ;)
