The pizza in Texas! You don’t pay no taxes!

Psoy Korolenko - Pizza

I don’t really know what’s up with Psoy Korolenko. He’s a current Russian folk singer, I guess, and he really likes pizza. My friend James’s Russian teacher played this song in class, even though it’s in English. Even if it isn’t much of a language learning tool, it is completely amazing, which I guess is better in the long run. Some of the songs on this site are in Yiddish, too, so I guess he’s Jewish. There’s not much to the song; it’s just a list of the pizzas of the world: “The pizza from Rome, it tastes like the Pope; the pizza from Milan, like La Scala; the pizza from Verona is like Shakespeare, the pizza from Sicilia is like Mafia.” And on and on and on. It’s three minutes long, but they’re the longest three minutes ever, and needless to say, totally great.
