Gitarrrr

Peter Nalitch [Russia's “homegrown star to match Borat”] has penned the ultimate cheesy Eastern song:
gitar, come to my buduar
gitar, jump to my yaguar baby
you have a possibility play it with me

NSFW for naked cartoon women made in MS Paint? You tell me...

Come for a walk in my car, baby.

I liked the Russian version of the Nutty Boys dance.

Catchy!

I guess Ill Mitch is Russia's Ali G, then.

"Come for a walk in my car" was a real sentence in a Greek handbook on socializing.

And isn't he saying come to my Budvar (city in Montenegro)?

Actually this Peter Nalitch guy is way too poshly sexy and his voice too good to be remotely Boraty. But guess he's taking the mickey out of Russian chav (Гопник, Gopnik) culture. Shpana is the Russian Ali G version.

Isn't the whole nation of Russia Borat writ large?

Nickyskye, the city in Montenegro is Budva.

Hmmm... reminds me a bit of the Red Elvises. Recommended listening to get a feel for their style:

My Love Is Killing Me (from the soundtrack of Six String Samurai)

Sad Cowboy Song

There's still no beating Zemlyane's "Trava u doma". Apart from the kick-ass chorus, they've a got double-neck guitar and a keytar. It's like an 80s Dubble Stuff Oreo.

Yes! I was obsessed with this jam last year--the Engrish persona is so perfectly composed and ironic that you totally buy the character but in a lovable way. He was a gigantic hit in Russia, based only on this song, so I guess they get the joke over there too. He's like a soft-rock Right Said Fred.

Yeti!

Apparently he's very big in Greece; a lot of comments there are like petrucci2005's fervent "come to greece god peter." This comment is interesting as being Cyrillicized Greek/English:

опапапапапапа!!!!!
петя соу куль

opapapapapapa!!!!!
petya sou kul' [i.e., Petya so cool]

Authentic Boraty YouTube:

Soviet Funk
Muslim Magomaev (Azerbaijani by origin) is one of the best and well-known Soviet singers. Unfortunately, the big part of his songs was forbidden by the State censorship as inappropriate for the Soviet ideology, but of course there were some exceptions, like this one.

And isn't he saying come to my Budvar

Come to my boudoir, surely?

PeterMcDermott, just kidding about come to my Budvar. Playing around about the slavic pronunciation of boudoir.

This. Is awesome.

Not quite awesome enough to make me jump to his yaguar, but still, I have a possibility play it with him.

Hey, gitar, gitar, gitar, gitaaaaar! I had thought of FPPing it, but decided against a SLYT for my first post. Funnier than Borat, anyway.

IIRC a radio show had been playing this song, so many of the comments in YT are members of that show's site. There's a lot of Greeklish (Greek spelled with Latin characters) in the comments, some of them riffing on other inside jokes of the site, such as a cheesy ad for a low-fat cheese (fina, kitrino tyri etc.).
