My Favourite Meme

This one has been around for a while..... but I love this guy. Vintage Soviet Pop. This meme revived his career in a tongue-in-cheek way..... and he accepted it with grace.

    A meme (pronounced meem) is a term created by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins to describe a phenomenon where an element of a culture or behavior is passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means.

    So, in internet terms, if something gets really popular on the internet and is shared a lot of people, that becomes a meme.

    The internet meme is just one use of the word. Memes are a core component of the "spiral dynamics" model of view/value development.

    ...which is a whole different kettle of fish..

    Dude, it's pronounced meem? Never knew that.. like all of the other words that I learned from "reading" that I pronounce differently in my head until someone makes me feel stupid... :)

    No kidding, right! I still like it as me-me.

    Meme as in sounding like gene.

    As much as I liked the tune in the OP. The only people here that speak russian are @LeonBasin and @compassionate_warrior, that I know of. So how do you expect the rest of us to understand what the heck he's singing about? :buck:

    It looks like he's lip-sync-ing. He looks like a howdy-doody character, live. Doesn't he look like that puppet?

    Originally made on a nice little "alternative" site known as 420chan. Here is the original comic, which was posted in the thread way back when. It's kind of interesting to see how popular it is now.

    It's post-USSR. They still maintain the Red Army Choir and tour it around the world. If the Finns pay them enough, they'll do anything. The Leningrad Cowboys are a Finnish group, using Red Army back-up. Catchy, isn't it? :D
