One thing I love about russian music videos is that while explicit acknowledgement (breaking the cave wall?) of the Nachahmung eines Scheinbildes is rare, and (pace The Muppet Show) considered "artsy"*, in the Old Country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9dFKRZ8EbU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9dFKRZ8EbU there it's difficult to avoid, for even pop stars (or those who aspire thereto) tend to not only have frame stories but even make vaudeville (or at least concert) allusions, eg: Стас Михайлов, Жанна Фриске https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dylbA7M3B5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dylbA7M3B5Y Из бетона обелиски https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnCo2SKafU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnCo2SKafU К манной каше две сосиски https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLWH4VKeBiY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLWH4VKeBiY :: :: :: Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_CZTi8L29c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_CZTi8L29c EDIT: * Diejenigen, die Theater kaum schätzen, sind »Mehr Sein wie Schein«?
