Thread Name: Lyr Add:The Ballad of Stalin (songs about Stalin)
Subject: RE: ADD:The Ballad of Stalin (and other Stalin songs)
WISH SOMEONE WOULD GIVE ME A WIKI ENTRY LIKE THIS
The translation may not appeal to our Western ears, but I've heard similar or far worse from 'The Last Night of the Proms' crowds, or been forced to sing them at school assemblies
As an ardent cinema-goer from early days, I was expected to stand up and sing similar or worse before I shuffled off into the night - and the crowned, bejeweled lady I was asked to sing about wasn't head of a government trying to build a new world for all
