Soaking in a different ocean beauty

But the story is not romantic. But about the war! I like the song - "Phantom", best known to us in the performance of Chizha and the company. The song lifts my spirits. <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
Author and time of appearance of the song is unknown. In the 1970s, it already existed, it is possible that it originated directly during the Vietnam War. "Second Life" song was in the mid-1990s, after the team was full of "Siskin & Co» (album "erogenous zone", 1996), although even before that appeared on the album "Let It Bee" project Egor Letov " Communism "(1989), and the album" Phantom "of" The Cherry Orchard "(1993).
In the most common variant, performed "Siskin & Co», lyrics tells the story of the U.S. Air Force pilot, pilot of the fighter-bomber, the F-4 "Phantom II». As follows from the text, the pilot makes a sortie from the territory of Thailand against targets in North Vietnam - talking about it the words "... My path is difficult and far, my Phantom rushes to the East" and the presence of enemy aircraft. In an embodiment, "Siskin & Co» is a discrepancy in the line "... I do a left turn" - the point is that the pilots did not use the word "turn" and say "turn". Also no mention of the second pilot, although this type of aircraft - two.
After the defeat of one of the engines, "Phantom" rocket pilot catapulted and immediately after landing, was taken prisoner. During the interrogation he was asked who he was hit, and receives from the Vietnamese answer: "Take off you, our pilot Li Xi Qing." To which the American counters that heard on the radio conversation between the pilots of Russian Vanya, and Coley, from which it concludes that "... Russian ace Ivan knocked me." The name of Li Si Qing (in consonance with the Russian name Lisitsyn) - not Vietnamese, and Chinese, and is commonly used to denote the collective image of the Soviet pilots during the Korean War (it should be noted that during the Sino-Japanese War, Soviet pilots called themselves volunteers Van Yu Shin. Thus, the fact that the real participation of the Soviet Air Force in the Korean War is mixed with the common, but do not have actual confirmation hearing on the participation of Soviet pilots in aerial combat in Vietnam.

One version of the text of the song "Phantom." Variant of the Chizha:

Читать дальше... 

I'm running on a scorched earth
Pressurized helmet slammed on the go.
My "phantom" white arrow,
Ha sprawled wing
With a roar climb.

See further golubeyuschuyu
Harushat a simple wish
It is a pity that you do not see it,
My way is difficult and far
My "phantom" sweeps eastward

I do a left turn
I am now the executioner, and not a pilot
Hagibayus of sight,
And the rocket race to the goal
I make one more visit

I see a white line in the sky
My "phantom" losing height
Catapult - that's salvation,
And the sling tension
Heart in the heel - I go into a tailspin

Just landed - at the same moment
From the bushes came a wild shout
Yellow-skinned Vietnamese
Chirping in the bushes like rabbits
I fell to the ground and died

"Who was that pilot that I shot down?" -
I asked one Vietnamese
He answered me that the slanting,
As commander of the interrogation:
"Take off you, our pilot Lisitsyn"

It is you, Vietnamese, lying in vain
In the Headset clearly I heard:
"Kolya, PUSH, and I covered!"
"Vanya, beat, and I'll cover!"
Russian ace Ivan knocked me

Somewhere far away a native of Texas
At home waiting for my father and mother
My "phantom" blew up quickly
In the blue sky and clean
Now I can not see you anymore ...

Fog over the Yangtze River

And I was like everyone else,
Drank so plowed .
Read the Tao Te Ching
And I realized , " Right! ";
Burned his penthouse
Removed the sample from the vine
And he went out to dance
In the mist of the Yangtze . ( a )
And m /f genius , and the song is great, but that's the place for me somehow they are not very ...
While, yes, funny, hedgehog in the fog on the Yangtze.
