Can't help you there except for a piece of trivia:

заика - stuttering person
зайка - bunny rabbit and whatnot.

Your request is all fine, but I thought it might be interesting to mention that. :)

sorry, my professor didn't put the right spelling on the lyrics she gave us. mistakes are my forte, i have "the russian of a first grader" after all...

Well, that was just a difference between и (a vowel) and й (a consonant, or semi-consonat) example. :)

Speaking of which. I can't give you the song you asked for, but I have quite a few of old soviet stuff, and some of semi-new rock stuff on an ftp. Interested? :D

Um. An ftp is a handy place to store files at...

Here (ftp://217.172.24.162/Music/new/Kobzon_-_And_Lenin_Is_So_Young.mp3)'s a really good song, that's quite a bit better then what you was asking for, as far as russian is concerned...

Really classic. :D

Oh god, if the professor teachs his students to Russian by the lyrics of Kirkorov's songs, the things seems to be real bad... :(

I'm speechless ...

My opinion about learning Russian by listening to kirkorov's song would contain some words and expressions you probably didn't learn yet :)
So I'll keep my thoughts with me :)

As for songs, old soviet songs would be much more interesting anyway. Or at least get some tatu tracks :)

[lothiriel-eadig.livejournal.com]

i'm really into tatu, but at the end of a full year of Russian every day, I understand quite a bit. It's suprising to think about all the shit that I can remember

no, she's Russian so she likes to expose us to music, cartoons, tv and such. We watch a lot of some Russian channel on satellite. It's a lot more fun than just conjugating verbs since we have class for more than 4 hours a week.

At least tatu lyrics was way more advanced (in the begining, of course) than Kirkorov :)

Tatu lyrics is very well designed anyway. Prooly the real stars of tatu were actually their manager (Shapovalov) and the songwriter.

I didn't say that having acquaintance with modern Russian culture is bad. Also, I agree that watching Russian tv is much more pleasant pastime then conjugating verbs (and probably better for learning Russian). I just said that Kirkorov is maybe worst phenomenon in Russian culture, so he is not worth the attention to observe. In my view, you better conjugate verbs for 4 hours a week then scrutinize Kirkorov's songs (here you can see what a low opinion I have about him, and this is not only my subjective opinion, for the most part it's thuth). Properly speaking, I don't care a damn about Kirkorov, I worry over what can think foreigners, including yourself, about Russian culture having of one of this terrible Russian pop singers like Kirkorov, this shame of Russia. :(((

To tell the truth, there are many other singers in Russia, much better then that Kir-freakin'-korov (if you're interesting, I can tell you some concrete names). Of course, the lyrics of their songs are not so primitive as "Зайка моя" - and no so easy for understanding by foreigner (especially by foreigner, badly speaking in Russian); but I believe that anyway, anyhow, for anyone and everyone, learning those lyrics are incomparably better than Kirkorov's, if it is possible to speak about the good of learning Kirkorov's lyrics. So I can tell you that as a Russian; and maybe I put my own ideas into English words no so good, but I gain some understanding in Russian music.
