Just imagine that!
There was a Soviet version of James Bond featuring a KGB-officer.
There was a Soviet band that was allowed to do Beatle-type songs.
And now.....not only did the Soviet copy of the Muppets really exist but they just resurfaced after almost 30 years.
I always suspected you guys were more than a myth

Der Kommissar

(Check it out, Joe! - Two, three, four ...)
Eins, zwei, drei, na,
Es ist nichts dabei, na, wenn ich euch erzähl' die Geschicht'.
Nichtsdestotrotz, ich bin es schon gewohnt
Im TV-Funk da läuft es nicht.
Tja, sie war jung, das Herz so rein und weiß,
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis. - Sie sagt:
"Sugar Sweet, you got me rappin' to the beat!"
Ich verstehe, sie ist heiß. - Sie sagt:


"Babe, you know I miss my funky friends,"
Sie meint Jack und Joe und Jill.
Mein Funkverständnis, ja, das reicht zur Not,
Ich überreiß' was sie jetzt will.
Ich überleg' bei mir, ihr Nasen spricht dafür,
Währenddessen ich noch rauch',
Die "Special Places" sind ihr wohlbekannt,
Ich mein' sie fährt ja U-Bahn auch,
Dort singen sie:


Dreh' dich nicht um, oh, oh, oh
Schau, schau: der Kommissar geht um! Oh oh oh
Er wird dich anschauen, und du weißt warum,
Die Lebenslust bringt dich um.
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?


"Hey, wanna buy some stuff, man?
Did you ever rap that thing, Jack?
So rap it to the beat!"


Wir treffen Jill und Joe und dessen Bruder Hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang.
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her,
Dazwischen kratzens sie an die Wänd'.
Dieser Fall ist klar, lieber Herr Kommissar,
Auch wenn Sie anderer Meinung sind:
Den Schnee, auf dem wir alle talwärts fahren,
Kennt heute jedes Kind.
Jetzt das Kinderlied:


Dreh' dich nicht um, oh, oh, oh
Schau, schau: der Kommissar geht um! Oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm.
Dreh' dich nicht um, oh, oh, oh
Schau, schau: der Kommissar geht um! Oh oh oh
Wenn er dich anspricht und du weißt warum
Sag ihm, dein Leben bringt dich um.
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?


Dreh' dich nicht um, oh, oh, oh ....

The wonderful Falco!! I loved 'Rock Me Amadeus'!

And I laughed when MC Hammer had a massive hit by ripping off 'Der Kommissar' and calling it 'You Can't Touch This'.

All of which reminds me Guys. For quite some time I've been thinking of changing my screen nick to Lt. Cmdr. Akira Ushijima, Imperial Japanese Navy Destroyer Commander and Fighter pilot. What do you think?

Dear Michael , sometimes your posts are reminding me to the two old men of the Muppet Show ...

Greetings Jan-Hendrik -

So, who would the OTHER "old man", on the balconey, of the Muppet Show be ??

Best,~Akira

A Japanese Destoyer Commander AND a Figher Pilot !!

With your aim you're liable to drop a bomb, from that Zero of yours, right on your own ship !!

Then, as Captain of said Destroyer, you'd get stuck with prosecuting yourself for "negligent bomb dropping", while at the same time awarding yourself a medal for accuracy !!

At least with you in the Japanese Navy, Admiral Nimitz would be able to sleep better at nights .

[Commissar D, the Evil]

Hey, I got the continent right!

Say, is that North or South of the Rio Grande? Is it near the Panama Canal? Just asking........just in case.....

[Commissar D, the Evil]

By the way, you kinda hit on the reason I volunteered towards the end of the war to become a pilot. I was flying the Raiden intercepter against Yankee B-29s. The only direction you had to know was straight up!

Best,
~Akira Sans-Good

[Tom Houlihan]

The only direction you had to know was straight up!

Not to mention the corollary: Straight down!

[Commissar D, the Evil]

Well Tom, we did used to worry about the "straight down" part, until we discovered that the Raiden was small enough to land on the wing of a B-29, if you had to make minor repairs. At first this caused us serious anxiety (an understatement), but later we figured out tht none of the B-29s guns were adjusted to fire at its own wings, for obvious reasons.

As the war continued, it was not an uncommon sight to see a Raiden or two perched on the wing of a B-29--it was an excellent way to conserve petrol and affect minor repairs. So we'd land on the wing, relax, have a bottle of saki and a cigarette under a beach unbrella and take off again to attack another B-29.

This practice was stopped when two of our fighters got into a duel because one pilot claimed that the other was trying to shoot down his B-29.....

Best,
Akira

We'll send you a World Atlas to help you out.

Being in the Japanese Navy I don't suppose you know of such a thing as "celestial navigation" ?

Of course I'm just assuming that you're not afraid of flying in the dark?

Dave the Nip said

Hey, I got the continent right!

Does that make you incontinent?

[Commissar D, the Evil]

Oh, you two guys, the Shadow and David W. are very funny. Yes, I know Western Humor, I was educated at M.I.T. Can't wait to capture you two...I have just the perfect spot in Burma for you cutting Bamboo with rubber knives.

Best,
