11. Кино – Камчатка

This is by far the best Russian (including Sovjet times) song ever made. When I think of Russia and its culture, this is the soundtrack of the nation. I’m not sure what the song is about since I don’t speak russian, but with help of Google it’s not about the Kamchatka peninsula, instead I think he’s singing about an old underground rock club in Leningrad, but I’m not sure. When I Google translate the lyrics I find this amazing bit:

“I was looking for wine here,
and found the third eye
My hands are made of oak”

Not sure if Google are translating it right but hey, it sounds amazing!
