For digitalemur, from this thread:

"Russian police — Get lucky cover (Daft Punk)" (Watch on YouTube)

К нам в редакцию попал клип на песню Get lucky, которую хор МВД, вероятно, готовил к кремлевскому концерту 10 ноября.

RIA Novosti received a video clip of the song Get Lucky that the Russian Interior Ministry's ensemble most likely prepared for a Kremlin concert on November 10.

I suspect the Department of Homeland Security lacks an equivalent musical group.

Okay, the way they handled the vocoder part was AWESOME.

But have you seen the Red Russian Army Choir and Leningrad Cowboys doing Sweet Home Alabama?

I'm surprised that with an all-male group they didn't transpose it to a lower register.

That was CONSIDERABLY weirder to watch than just to hear - I'd heard the audio before but lacked the visuals.

Oh. I'm sorry. Then you need to see this version, with full regalia:
