Soviet March Red Alert 3

And my newest personal favorite...

The Samovars! Best Song Ever. I feel like making a happy dance whenever I hear it.

Posted by Vadon (Member # 4561) on :

Ah, unfortunately, those songs are just the best in your opinion. Thankfully, I happen to have what is the best song ever in the objective sense.

Love the dancing penguins! Love them!

Nothing French can ever be classified as "Good". Find me an english or russian version and I might bite.

Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :

This is the best song ever.

Or possibly this.

Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :

is there a title for the second one? I assume its in Hebrew? "Levan Polka"?

Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :

oh, its finnish, awesome.

Posted by Elmer's Glue (Member # 9313) on :

You are all wrong.
This is the best song.
If my life could only last 27 seconds, that is what I would want to spend it on.

Ievan; not Levan. It means "Eva's Polka" in Finnish. What I posted was a sped up remix of Loituma's version of the song, which was used in a viral internet animation. This is the animation itself. This is Loituma actually singing the song. The sidebar has a translation of the lyrics. The part of the song that's used in the animation runs from 1:30 to 1:47 in that video. I don't know Finnish, so I can't vouch for the accuracy of the translation.

Not bad, but it doesn't top Hell March 2 (nor does Hell March 3 for that matter).

Posted by Tstorm (Member # 1871) on :

Heh. Hell March songs define the Command and Conquer Red Alert series.

Posted by Sterling (Member # 8096) on :

I like the relative simplicity of the original "Hell March", myself.

But that may be in part nostalgia for college.

Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :

Big fan of the original as well. The third one just seems a bit muddy all in all.

Those penguins were adorable.

A nice contrast to the unremitting evil of communist propaganda songs, or at least stylistic imitations of them.
