There is a victory, but no words

Why the people not sings football hymns written specifically to the championship, but screams "Russia, go ahead!" And "Ole-Ole!"

Emotions burst. After the brilliant game of Akinfeev, I want to sing something like “ Hey, goalkeeper, get ready for battle! You are set at the goal at the gate! ", Only in a new way. But our songwriters did not even compose anything remotely similar to the summer of 2018.

The goalkeeper, I remind you, is two author. The music of Dunaevsky, the words of Lebedev-Kumach, the one who wrote “ Get up, the country, huge! Get up for a mortal battle! ". You can relate to the Soviet government and patriotic propaganda, but this thing is such a force that goosebumps run around the skin. The common place has already been talking about the creeping restoration of the USSR and the patriotic hysteria that the authorities inflate. And Peskov recently compared the glee of fans after the victory over Spain with the celebration of Victory Day in 1945. Suppose. But no, goosebumps are not running.

About a hundred songs are recorded directly to the championship. But not one of them became popular, did not even become a hit. Moreover, they are performed by megapopular (in the past) people.

Lev Leshchenko, performed by which we used to hear “Victory Day of Pour Brave,” performed a song with a capacious and expressive name “Forget”. What specifically to score in the text is not said. But there are words there: " Boldly flying to the expanse of the white-blue-red tricolor ." And all the same Komsomolsky enthusiasm in the voice. The color of the banner has changed, and Paphos remained the same.

Yes, it really resembles a stagnant stage, some concert in the Kremlin on the 1978 police day. But then at least they believed in something else

And now I want to score for everything, this is the only desire.

Anita Tsoi, a star of the end of the nineties with the song “Victory”, was resurrected from oblivion. When I heard the line “ Thousands of hearts, you have a one-way ticket ”, my heart trembled: what if she sings about the famous Lawkoster airline? And in this context, the “one -way ticket” does not sound very optimistic.

The vocabulary of the aspects singing on a football theme fits in one or two lines: football, forward, victory, cheers, goal, ours, success, team, Ole-Ole. Oleg Gazmanov - who has thoughts like horses, remember? -I came across an unexpected rhyme “Football-Gol”. Alexander Malinin acted even more original. He recorded the remake of the song Moskau of the German group DSchinghis Khan: “ Moscow, Moscow, this is our championship! ". The original was released in 1979, on the eve of the Olympics, and immediately the alignment went to the people, which overshadowed the original: “ Moscow, Moscow ... We throw with bombs, eager for tanks, ohho-ho-ho-ho! They didn’t finish it off in the forty-fifth, so we’ll turn it in the eighty, you will be the Olympics, a-ha ha ha ha! "Of course, Malinin did not mean anything bad, but associations inevitably arise, cannot but arise. I would like to sing the raspberry: " This is our championship, a ha ha ha ha ha ." The idea of ​​fulfilling this from the rostrum in the midst of the match will scare away even the most aggressive madman.

Philip Kirkorov, Sergey Lazarev, Alexander Marshal, Kristina Orbakaite, Denis Maidanov and Maksim did not show off. “ We believe in success, ours are best! ", Sung in their new song. And Chorus: “ Russia, go ahead! »Simple and tastefully. The brutal expressions of persons in the video should probably personify the willingness to struggle, determination, will to win. But no, they do not protect their homeland, so they drink vodka of a low price category.

Another character of distant and unloved by patriots of the nineties is Natalya Oreiro, Uruguayan singer and soap opera star. In the chorus from the fullness of feelings, she switches to the broken Russian: “ Raise your hands up! "And immediately I want to give up, as if you poked a shmaisser under the shoulder blades.

The official anthem of the championship will be heard on July 15, on the last day. This is the Song of Puerto Rican Nicky Jem, performed jointly with the American actor Will Smith and Kosovo singer Era Beastfire Live It Up, “ Live to the High Coil ”. The song is good, but firstly, English-speaking, secondly, a clear product of show business, the ears of highly paid producers stick out of each musical phrase. Take off and go to the people of her not a single chance.

As the TV nineties taught us, with all the wealth of choice, there is no other alternative. People, maybe, would like to yell something more expressive than "Russia, go ahead!" And “Ole-Ola!”, But the masters of the artistic word did not offer them worthy options. Let the cross -bearing, even if ultrapatriotic, but so that it clings to the soul. No, it does not catch, do not run along the back of goosebumps.

... And in the end, in the evenings, a song written in 1938 sounds in the evenings over Nikolskaya Katyusha.
