The two guys translated the song word-to-word and it turned out really funny:

Rssian swearings tag:forum.russianlearn.com,2010:/viewthread/.139 2010-12-30T03:37:44Z NoName Hi there. I heard a lot about how rich and saturated russian swarings are. If i’m not mistaken this is called MAT. What’s the meaning of a word ‘mat’ and why are russians so excellent in cussing? Aren’t they supposed to be hughly spirited people with kind hearts and pure souls?

Awesome wedding clip! tag:forum.russianlearn.com,2012:/viewthread/.225 2012-02-19T01:48:16Z 2012-02-19T01:55:59Z *Svetik* Hi, I found this video on YouTube and couldn’t help sharing it with you. It’s a really funny and cool wedding video clip made in a Ukrainian city called Sevastopol - but everybody speaks Russian there. The whole bunch of guys invited to the party (including parents and grandparents) are lip-synching to the “Black-Eyed Peas” song Tonight’s Gonna Be A Good Night. It’s truly awesome! You’ll love it!!!
