It was right there, the one with the blonde is from a
musical commemorating Victory Day 2005. Presumably
that's May 9 because that's the day on the banner on
the one with the two sisters. I just looked it up.
Victory Day is May 9 so that was all part of a 60 year
celebration. So, obviously they're embracing the
past. So I'm right. That was the fashion or what
people liked or thought they liked, the way Bollywood
movies tend to follow a pattern. For that matter
Hollywood movies.
Also, I said the girl, obviously it's two girls,
they're sisters. They must be contemporary stars over
there. The Army Chorus version was also right there
on the right. I scare myself sometimes. But you
didn't miss anything. It looked like they taped an
event and they were all having a good time singing
WWII songs. Okay, for sure, no more wasting of
bandwidth. See ya later.
