Sweet Home Alabama by the...Leningrad Cowboys?
Okay, so we all know I love Skynyrd, this song, and all things Finnish, but the result of these loves of mine intermingling is shocking. I'm not sure if I really like it, even though you'd think, by proxy, I'd have to. It's odd.
The Leningrad Cowboys is a Finnish rock band famous for its humorous songs and concerts featuring the Soviet Red Army Choir. Currently, the band has eleven Cowboys and two Leningrad Ladies. The songs, all somewhat influenced by polka and progressive rock are performed in English and have themes such as vodka, tractors, rockets, and Genghis Khan, as well as folkloric Russian songs, rock and roll ballads and covers from bands as diverse as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, all presented with lots of humour.
They've covered bunches of other popular songs, so check them out if you're interested.
