Once upon a time (in 1970, to be exact), there was a Chicago, Illinois based jazz rock fusion band called The Ides of March, who played a song called "Vehicle."
I didn't know the band or song by name, but after the first couple of notes, the tune's recognizable. Trust me, you've heard it.
For the 50th anniversary of its release, Leonid and Friends released a web cover.
And, out of the 439 cover songs featured on the blog thus far, this one is hands down the most impressive.
Leonid is Russian... as are six of his friends performing.
One is Ukrainian.
Another is Belarusian.
Yet another is Moldovan.
So, this is a melding of musicians with at LEAST three different primary tongues, none of which are English.
And, they crush it.
Great God in heaven, you know I love this.
Or, courtesy of Google translate, Великий Бог на небесах, ты знаешь, что я люблю это.
