You can always rely on Lithuania for the entertaining outliers, and our lad Lion here certainly delivered that last Saturday. One of those can't-take-your-eyes-off-it moments - a bit like a bad toupee or a motorway car accident - it starts with some mad-eyed folksy women singing in that fabulous flat East European tone, before the lad himself kicks in with quite a belt.
There's so many mysteries here, that could possibly be explained if you know your Lithuanian, but we also suspect quite possibly not. What do they look like they've been recently beaten up? What's that weird little chip tune bit in the middle all about? Are they as deathly serious as they look, or is there a wry ironic wink hidden somewhere within its performance?
We're absolutely fascinated with it here at Apocalypse Towers, and we're still not sure what our favourite bit is, yet? That weird jolty straight-legged dance after he gets his robe off? That intense rolling march toward camera by the backing singers? Actually, any given five second chunk of the whole darned thing! But we're struggling to decide whether it's actually any good or not. There's definitely some art involved, but should it be hung in a gallery, or pinned to the front of a fridge with a magnet?

I might be stating the obvious here, but since you don't mention it in the piece - this is Apocalypse's old friend Alen Chicco!
