I agree with Kino, but Butusov (NP) just throws random words together and calls that a song.


I am not a fan of Butusov, but these are not random words 'Скованные одной цепью'/'bound by the same chains' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIljdb6I_IA (still Akvarium/Grebenshikov are categorically 'the best', no doubt about that! Also there is Shevchuk/DDT, there was Egor Letov and they had Yanka Dyagileva "Всё как у людей ;-)")


Punk Rock on an accoustic guitar, you didn't have that anywhere else, i think (actually it's poetry, if you ask me)

Моя оборона/My Defense

Пуля дура / Stupid bullet

“Alan Delon doesn’t drink cologne” (as you probably know) is not random: drinking cologne was very much a thing, due to alcohol rationing meant to combat drinking (which also lead to people drinking methanol and going blind or even worse.) There are also references to other aspects of Soviet household life.
