These Clips of Soviet Soldiers Dancing to the Strokes, the Smiths and Outkast Will Make Your Day
There are also videos set to Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Nirvana, MC Hammer, Shakira and more

For the last month, Twitter user @communistbops has been merging music and primarily Soviet-era film clips, and the results are endlessly amusing.
Earlier today, the Strokes' "Last Nite" was paired with dancing and accordion-playing young men in a particularly delightful clip.
Plenty of other scenes have paired excellently with plenty of other songs, though. There are clips featuring music by the Smiths, Outkast, Wham!, Britney Spears, N*SYNC, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Nirvana, the Killers, Eminem, MC Hammer, Dolly Parton, Shakira, Lizzo and more.
The list goes on and on — and honestly, they're all great.
See a selection of some of the best below, and check out the full account here.
