All I know is if I were the captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and I encountered this bizarre bit of alien culture, I would shoot first and ask questions later. James Tiberius Kirk is far more tolerant than I am, so he allows this cultural monstrosity play through until its end before commanding the crew to fire.

The unfortunate thing is that were this a real encounter, both Kirk and I would be in deep with the Russian government for shooting down one of their famous baritones. Who knew?

The strange background is creepier than the interior of a Romulan warship, and the lack of intelligible phrase would definitely have me questioning the intelligence of this strange, obviously vampiric race of beings. An important lesson in look before you leap, after about ten minutes of research I learned that the bizarre, whoa-ho-hoing man in this video is award-winning Russian singer, Eduard Khil. He does look a little like a Russian Tony Orlando.

Believe it or not, at 75-years-old, Khil is still out there, and apparently he’s been rockin’ and rollin’ with his son in the Russian musical group, Prepinaki for the last thirteen years.

It’s a very silly video, and proof positive that no matter how much I beg the powers that be, I will never get to be Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Blast my trigger finger!
