🎶 The Official TTF Music Thread! 🎶

This song is from the musical 1776 and is a comedy I enjoyed very much. If you haven't watched it yet, I strongly recommend it! It's available for free on YouTube. Here is one of the songs I like best:
 
Viktor Tsoi was a rock musician who rose to fame in the 1980s, a turbulent time for Russia. At the beginning of the decade, rock music was still an underground movement, disapproved by the Soviet Government. By 1990, it had spread to the point that his band Kino performed for 62,000 fans at the Olympic stadium in Moscow. His best-known song is probably Kukushka ("Cuckoo"). I believe this footage is from that concert:

Sadly, he died in a car accident two months after the concert. He was 28. A 1999 commemorative stamp:
