This stumped Shazam, although the tune sounds familiar. ;)

Soviet-era ad (1980s) for Estonian Shoe Manufacturing School #16. I wonder how many Estonian youths were convinced to become cobblers from this ad. Enjoy 44 seconds of music and dance silliness.

That was never going to be an easy vocal track to cover. For those that don't know it already, the original:


I don't know how anyone can listen to this and not burst out laughing when she turns into the Cookie Monster on methamphetamine. That's what I did and it doesn't get any less funny with repeated listening. I don't care about her technical vocal abilities, I can't take this crap seriously. And the daft lyrics - oh dear me. She reads like an angry emo vegan trying to empathize with a bowl of fish fingers.
