[edit] Serdtse

There was a link to the music and to Serdtse on Pyotr Leshchenko, but that link died.

I have just googled the following mp3:

http://music.lib.ru/p/pesni_ret/

"Сердце [mp3,691k] Оценка:8.72*10 Другое

Исаак Дунаевский - В. Лебедев - Кумач. Поёт К.Сокольский "

This is sung by Sokolsky. Bad quality I am afraid.

I am sure there must be a rap version around somewhere too...

I hope that helps you choose the correct youtube version - if there is nothing to be found I may ask my dance partner for us to "perform" and be filmed... ;>) Thanks for your efforts, by the way. --Pan Gerwazy 18:21, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

    • Thanks, I don't speak any russian so i just selected a Youtube video with the same name. Sorry.--Freek Verkerk 19:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Угкулй! I mean, "eureka", of course. I had to do a lot of digging into Youtube to find the right version (the Russian word can be transcribed in several ways, and there are many songs called "serdtse" - and since Akvarium you cannot be sure that "punk" or "rap" means it is definitely not the Leshchenko song), but it was worth it, I think. The video shows a Russian Big Brother (Za Steklom) competitor trying to sing the song. Good enough (well bad enough, really) to stop the copyright dons who are starting to object to the quoting of youtube links. The second link I found is to the song that was really called "Serdtse" in the film - luckily you did not quote that one, since the songs actually resemble each other! We will have to quote "fair use" on that second one, I suppose. What quality is it on your computer? With me, the video now and then "stutters". Gelukkig Nieuwjaar, overigens. --Pan Gerwazy 21:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
