“Your leg is stuck!” – “Haru-mamburu”
The song “Haru-mamburu” created an imitation of foreign words as a result of sound experiments, “Nogu took it down!” It became the hallmark of the rock band. At first, the fans carefully listened to the text, trying to decipher the message, but soon they directly asked the lead singer of the group, Maxim Pokrovsky, about the meaning of the song. It turned out that there were no poems.
“The truth of this matter probably made the ‘Leg cramped band’ possible! to be so popular – both then and in general, they ask him now and ask for nothing less, ”said the musician.
The song and the truth have been covered many times by parodists and other artists. It was also used in the cinema – for example, in Aleksey Balabanov’s Zhmurki.
Anzhelika Varum – “The artist who paints the rain”
He started out as a bassist in the Anzhelika Varum Combination group, but his solo work brought him real fame – success came in the first half of the 90s. The 1993 album La-la-fa turned out to be a particularly breakthrough, with several songs becoming absolute hits. Among them is the lyrical composition “The Artist Who Draws Rain” and the famous “Town”, which has become the eternal soundtrack to the TV show of the same name.
Alena Apina – Flying Dutchman
Like Varum, Alena Apina was a “graduate” of the Combination team, which built a successful solo career in the 90s. The real flowering of his work is associated with the release of the studio album “Dance to the Morning” in 1993, and its success was reinforced by the videos for the songs “Flying Dutchman”, “Lech” and “Yves Saint Laurent”. .
“Auktyon” – “The Road”
In 1993, the rock band “Auktyon” released their sixth album “Ptitsa”, after which they repeatedly fell into various tops of the best Russian publications of all time. One of his hits (contrary to the expectations of the team leader Leonid Fedorov) was the composition “Road” by Balabanov, which sounded in the movie “Brother 2”.
Tina Turner – “I Don’t Want to Fight”
“I Don’t Want to Fight” is definitely not Tina Turner’s most famous song, which won eight Grammys, but it’s still beloved by fans. The single was recorded for the movie Love Can Do, based on her biography. The biopic plot tells about the complex relationship between two creative personalities – Turner herself and her husband Ike Turner. Played by Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.
Haddaway – “What is Love”
The absolute hit of discos of that time was the cult Eurodance single “What Is Love” by German-Trinidadian pop singer Nestor Haddaway. Despite the plain text about a broken heart, the composition sold 2.6 million copies in less than a year, giving the musician insane popularity not only in Europe and the USA, but also in Asia and South America. Subsequently, the song has repeatedly become the soundtrack of various film projects – for example, the American comedy Night in Roxbury and the latest Russian TV series Mir! Friendship! Chewing gum”.
2 UNLIMITED – “Unlimited”
Among other Eurodance bands, the Belgian-Dutch duo 2 UNLIMITED was most heard on dance floors and wild parties. In 1993, Ray Slingard and Anita Dot released, perhaps, the main hit – “Unlimited”, in which they organically combined disco and hip-hop motifs.
Lada Dance – “Girl’s night”
Lada Dance received her first fame as part of the Women’s Council trio, and after the breakup of the team, she successfully started her solo career. Her debut album included hits like “Night Album” (1993), “Girls night” and “You have to live on high” and captivated fans with her vocals and energy.
Nirvana – “All Apologies” and “Rape Me”
The lyrics for “All Apologies” and “Rape me” were written in 1991 and included on the album “In Utero” two years later. If the first single describes a creative crisis, a difficult relationship with his wife, and a premonition of an imminent death, the second song contains a manifesto against violence.
“Bravo” – “Stylish orange tie”
Moscow dudes “Bravo” began to perform the hit hit “Orange Tie” in the first half of the 90s. Soon, fans of the team began to give this accessory to Yevgeny Khavtan and Valery Syutkin.
