[Zyobot]

Well, as long as we're posting more epic versions of national anthems...

RUSSIAN ANTHEM - ROCK VERSION!

[Zyobot]

Since a meme involving a certain Russian POTUS strutting like a badass has been making the rounds lately, here's where the corresponding background music seems to have come from.

Song for Denise


Also, if you happen to notice lots of "Putin is walking" remarks in the comment section of the video on actual YouTube, well...don't say I didn't warn ya'.

For a larger change of pace, here's a more historical song that dates back to over a century ago now. Specifically, a patriotic--and transparently American--piece concerning its newfound involvement in the war to end all wars.

Over There - WWI Recruiting and Training Footage in Color - Authentic World War 1

[Zyobot]

Some of you gamers around here may know this theme already. But have you listened to a live version, complete with choir and orchestral elements?

  Not sure that's that much of an ethnic song as I think it was fairly common across the British Isles at least. Great tune but I did read once it had a more adult theme in that what was rising was a necessity so that the 'lady' in question could claim her fee.  Although of course that doesn't fit in with many of the suggested 'answers' to the question so that source could be inaccurate.

So I've yet to play any games in this series myself, but here's some Russia-centric music from the Battlefield 1 soundtrack that I actually found quite badass, and so characteristically imperil-sounding (which is befitting when depicting the twilight years of Tsarist Russia).

Here's some more nostalgic pieces from when I was much younger.

Make It Shine (Victorious Theme)


...Yeah, I miss old (as in early 2010s) Nickelodeon.
