Vladimir Putin Fights Cancer by Singing “Blueberry Hill” in English, piano solo
Taking a day off from flying fighter planes bare chested and shooting wild tigers, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin displayed his musical talents preforming a piano solo and singing “Blueberry Hill” for a cancer charity fundraiser at the ice stadium in St. Petersburg. Before his performance he noted: “Like the majority of people I cannot — but do like to sing and to play — so you’ll have to rough it.” He has always been known for his modesty.
According to Russia Today, when the concert was over Putin took Sharon Stone by arm and sang “Grass Near Home” an ode to Russian Cosmonauts.
The president appeared with an entire back-up band, swaying to the beat like the leaves of a willow on a cool summer’s eve, for a charity fundraiser. According to the channel Russia Today:
When the hostess approached Putin’s table and asked him to sing for the audience, his immediate reaction was “are you kidding me?” But the hostess was determined to get the prime minister on the mic and reminded him about the songs he sang with the Russian sleeper agents extradited from the US last summer. Putin attempted to evade the proposal by saying that the singing she was referring to had come from the heart. However, after seeing the pictures of ill children shown to the audience on the big screen, he took to the stage.
He’s got a pretty great (understandably) Russian accent, and would probably make tons of money playing weddings in America, should he want a change of lifestyle. Not that he needs this new, cool appeal straight out of a Michael Bublé greatest hits album– the women of Russia routinely disrobe in his honor, and, lucky for him, he’s not gay or anything– but it certainly can’t hurt. As for the extremely fortunate crowd that got to see the overwhelming talent of their prime minister? They seem positively enthralled.
