Skagi-skagi / Скаги-скаги (YouTube clip): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oius1eEpghU
Performed by the group Koleso / Колесо (Ring).

mg brought this clip to our attention in a previous thread (http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=129647#2912936), where I added this comment:

It might be easier searching for this song as "Скажи, скажи" (Skazhi, Skazhi = Tell, tell)--I'm guessing that "Skagi-skagi" is a regional pronunciation, probably with a modified g, akin to h or German ch.

Actually, to my ear, the lead singer sings "skazhi" rather than "skagi" (in any form).
