“Money, Money” from The Adventures of Captain Vrungel — the Gangsters’ Song (Video)
I remembered the song “Money, Money” (“Mani, mani”) from a cartoon of my childhood, “The Adventures of Captain Vrungel”. Sing along (in Russian) :-)
The song is sung by the cartoon’s gangsters — the ones hunting for the stolen Venus de Milo. Below is a bit about the cartoon and its other famous song.
About the cartoon
“The Adventures of Captain Vrungel” is a 13-episode animated series by the Kievnauchfilm studio, directed by David Cherkassky. It was made from 1976 to 1979, based on Andrei Nekrasov’s novel: Captain Vrungel, his first mate Lom and sailor Fuchs set off on the yacht “Beda” (“Trouble”) in a round-the-world race and along the way foil the plans of a gang that stole the statue of Venus.
“We Are Bandito, Gangsterito”
And here’s what is probably the most famous song from the same cartoon — “My bandito, gangsterito”:
Of course, after all the Iron Men, Monster Highs and other modern cartoons, “Captain Vrungel” won’t surprise anyone, but it’s still worth showing to kids — they might like it. You can watch it as a family too :-)
