Top 10 Surprising Ways Russia Has Shaped Popular Culture

Duration: 9:04
Updated: 12 Feb 2015

Top 10 Surprising Ways Russia Has Shaped Popular Culture Many in the United States have a very specific picture of Russian culture, developed through the lens of the Cold War. While some Russian stereotypes have some truth to them, in the end they are people just like the rest of us. What is surprising is that many things we consider to be icons of American culture, were actually never really American to begin with. Some of the most deeply American things owe their inspiration in part or in whole to the Russians. Text version: http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-surprising-ways-russia-has-shaped-popular-culture.php Coming up: 10. The Music For A Famous Scene In Fantasia 9. Franz Ferdinand’s “Love and Destroy” 8. Pearl Jam’s “Pilate” and “Low Light” 7. Columbo Is Inspired By A Detective From Crime and Punishment 6. Andy Warhol’s Work Is Inspired By The Art In Russian Orthodox Churches 5. Peter and the Wolf Was Originally A Symphony Written By A Russian 4. Method Acting Was Created By Constantin Stanislavsky 3. The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” 2. Ayn Rand Was Born And Bred In Russia 1.

Popular Culture - Deus

Top Deus, Popular Culture

Let me tell you a thing
On popular culture
American swing
The British add sulphur
I'll buy you a beer
If you can compete from here
They throw you a line
Let me see it you catch it
And they'll give you some time, sure
If you got something to match it
Just as long as you know
Who is running that show, oooohhhh
And I was thinking, well hey
I'm gonna throw it away
Throwing out my popular culture
Cause now you know it's not great
If you don't come from the states
You will always be late to be in popular culture
From western slang
To showbiz spells
You'd almost think
There's nothing else
Can you give me the news
On the romantic actor
No, I don't really care but his blues
Is for me a distractor
Through his eyes I can see
What is wrong with meâ€¦ ooooohâ€¦
And I was thinking, well hey
I'm gonna throw it away
Throwing out my popular culture
Cause now you know it's not great
If you don't come from the states
You will always be late to be in popular culture
From western slang
To showbiz spells
You'd almost think
There's nothing else
And I was thinking, well hey
Well what the hell is my place
If someone else will dictate
My singular culture
Cause everybody's a star
And if you don't think too far
You can define who you are
Through popular culture
It's like you're not really seen
Without a fashionable spleen
That is so much alike the one
Your heroes suffered
And so you gotta be strong
You've got to just speak in tongues
About how you belong
