After-Effects insanity from Belarus — Lyapis Trubetskoy with “Kapital”:

Quicktime version and high-res screenshots available at cosmosfilm.tv.

The video was directed by Aleksey Terekhov aka Ð?лекÑ?еÑ? Терехова aka Aliaksei Tserakhau. The bald guy is Alexander Lukashenko, farmer, hockey player, and (probably illegal) president of Belarus, where he is informally referred to by the label above him in the video: “batska” or “bat’ka” meaning “father.”

Apparently the song is a hit in Russia.

Lyrics:

I eat gold bricks for lunch,
and for dessert diamonds with cream of crude.

My name is Beelzebub, the master of the stratosphere,
I am unbelievably cool and commonly respected.

refrain:
In my left hand a Snickers, in my right hand a Mars.
My PR manager is Karl Marx.

Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!

My face is Madonna, all filled with rotten pears.
All kneel! The orchestra play a flourish!

Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!

I eat cities and drink the seas.
My beard obscures the sky:
thunder and lightning, fog and rain.
Ministers and chiefs, they lick my boots.

Go Capitalism!
