An alternative way to create a road trip soundtrack
Here at Hoot, we love to prepare a CD or tune into the radio to make our car journeys more enjoyable.
However, most drivers wouldn’t even dream of the method used by an ambitious trio of young men in Russia to ensure that they could rock out on a highway.The three men have been filmed sitting astride a motorbike and sidecar while travelling along a busy road in Russia, but that’s not the strange part. While one of them drove the vehicle, another played a drum kit positioned on the sidecar whilst the final man, seated on the bike behind the driver, strummed a guitar
Although an unusual vision, the musicians appear to be having the jamming session of their lives as they all display bright grins.
The English translation of the video title reads ‘Town Musicians of Bremen’, which is a Brothers Grimm fairytale in which a donkey, a dog, a cat and rooster embark on a journey to Bremen in the hope of making it as musicians.
The animals’ strange musical sound scares some robbers out of a house on route, conveniently giving the mismatched four a place to live happily ever after.
Despite the main stars of the viral film having not yet been identified, the video has scored well over a million views. Impressive, but not a technique we’ll be trying out anytime soon!
