Psoy Saucy
In our previous entry, we talked about a modern-day urban explorer, the Lonesome Hero, who in turn spoke a little about Russia and pizza by way of explaining his "Pizza World Tour."
And so, speaking of pizza in Russia and Russians and pizza, and pizza world tours, we bring you a crazy little song by Psoy Korolenko, a "singing professor, dancing scholar, and academical bodysinger" from Russia.
Mr. Korolenko sings a song about pizza, which our pal Cyrus alerted us to. (He found it here.)
"Have you listened to it yet?" Cyrus asked me repeatedly.
"Not yet."
"You have to listen to it. You'll love it."
He was right. Mr. Korolenko does a pizza world tour via his song, namechecking various countries and cities worldwide while playfully describing their pizza.
"The pizza from Texas, you pay no taxes," he sings. "The pizza from Poland is like polka," or "Das Pizza von Berlin, you gotta break the wall."
It's silly, it makes little sense, but it's fun. Have a listen.
