I thought that there was a song from the 1980’s with this title, but I’d forgotten that it was actually a Kiwi band.
This is the original that screened on TVNZ. The band weren’t that keen on TVNZ’s literal interpretation of their song, although I think it holds up pretty well. Their own re-made video merely features their awesome dancing skills!
The thought was prompted by this news,
Head of Russian oil giant Lukoil dies after falling from hospital window:
Oil and gas company Lukoil issued a statement early Thursday confirming the death of Ravil Maganov, 67, “after a severe illness” but did not specify the cause.
The cause was hitting concrete at a high velocity.
At this rate ordinary Russians will be happy to rise to the status of Kulak, since obviously being a billionaire in Russia is too risky even for that amount of money and the lifestyle it brings, as I pointed out a few months ago in The Mystery of The Dead Russian Oligarchs:
It seems that since January of this year six such people have committed suicide. This seems rather a high rate of death for people who seemingly have everything. I admit I didn’t notice any of this until this story broke a few days ago:
On April 18, former vice-president of Gazprombank Vladislav Avaev was found dead in his multi-million apartment on Universitetsky Prospekt in Moscow, together with his wife and daughter.
Murder-Suicide, and the murder of his own family no less. Unusual. Even amazing.
But it gets more amazing. Another two of those six oligarchs, Sergey Protosenya and Vasily Melnikov, also committed suicide after murdering their families.
As far as anyone knows Maganov’s family are okay. Given that he’s dead they’re probably safe, ammirite?
No Minister 
That’s up there with the “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein or the two bullets Seth Rich intercepted with his back
Heh, heh, heh…. And yet Andrei you’re still respecting that SOB as he crosses himself at Easter. Murderous KGB prick.
Yes yes Andrei we know without you saying. West truly horrible and evil.
Russia truly angelic and perfect.
LOL – you did not have the good fortune to be raised in the Orthodox Faith
Had you been you would know the world is a fallen and corrupt place in which we have to negotiate our lives as best we can and there is no utopia, no perfect land
The best we can do is aspire to make our own environs as best we can while treating those we share our time and space with the respect they are due
VVP stands above his Western colleagues because he put the interests of the Russian people above those of the Western Ruling class and their repulsive children and this makes the Western elite very cross, very cross indeed.
How dare that uppity man stop Hunter Biden stealing from Russia and fucking her young women in the arse while high on cocaine!
Quite the opposite Andrei I had the good fortune not to be raised in the Orthodox faith.
If Hunter Biden wants to “@#$% young Russian women in the ass” that implies there are Russian young women happy to oblige.
The entire Biden family are corrupt degenerates and clearly not the norm for the west, but we will survive them as we have survived terrible “leaders” in the past.
Russia it seems is different. Always happy to replace one despot for the next.
As an aside I’m a bit surprised the moderators would allow you to use such crude language on their blog.
As an old seafarer the occasional lapse into salty language when the circumstances call for it might be indulged
In any case it isn’t unknown for Tom himself to invoke similar vocabulary
Alas I fear you have lived a somewhat sheltered existence, shielded somewhat from the horrors of this world and how those rendered powerless are subject to the whims over those who hold power over them.
It makes me very angry to see women exploited because they have had all their options in life stolen from them, hence the expressive language.
Ukraine today, ruled from Washington, is one of the major sources of trafficked women.
The whole green agenda and the covid scam are at their heart about disempowering people in order to better control them
“The whole green agenda and the covid scam are at their heart about disempowering people in order to better control them”
That you and I can very much agree on.
But the answer is not to be ruled by a murdering thug like Putin.
Yes the world is in many ways an ugly place, but I think you are the naive one of us by believing the thug Putin is the pure one and everyone else is evil.
LOL
VVP has zero interest in ruling New Zealand, its a backwater of five million people
Do you know where he is right now?
Let me enlighten you, he is in Samarkand (do you know where that is?).
Can you guess who else is there?
President Xi Jinping for one and Narendra Modi for another
Also there are Ebrahim Raisi, who is the Prime Minister of Iran and Recep Tayyip Erdogan among many other World leaders
But the airhead schoolgirl, who subjected you to months of house arrest did not get an invite.
And indeed there is little reporting in the Western media of this event in Samarkand, who is there and what their agenda is.
But the leaders congregating there represent about 3/4 of the world’s population and most of the worlds real economic activity
“Do you know where he is right now?”
Of course I do and I know he’s meeting with various other thugs.
“But the airhead schoolgirl, who subjected you to months of house arrest did not get an invite”.
Why would she get an invite? Any semi-intelligent person capable of reading would know I have a very low opinion of Jacinda’s “Abilities”.
“VVP stands above his Western colleagues because he put the interests of the Russian people above those of the Western Ruling class and their repulsive children”
So getting Russia into a war he will lose with a ramshackle armed forces in the interest of his serfs? Russia is basically Venezuela with nukes.
Any more insults while we are at it?
