Accordions and a Bad Katy Perry Cover Equals World Fame for Ukrainian Band 'Los Colorados' (Лос Колорадос)

Ukrainian pop act "Los Colorados"  (Лос Колорадос) may have single-handedly sealed Ukraine's fate as a nation that will never rule the world, and with just one video.

Their live televised version of Katy Perry's 2008 hit "Hot N Cold" features everything we in the West feared more than anything during the entire Cold War: Hideous attempts at popular music.

This is surely one of the worst yet most amusing attempts to perform any song ever, let alone cover a major pop hit by a major Western performer. Or is it?

Perhaps not. Maybe it's the most ... ingenious. It's so damned bad that it's actually good. You can just watch it once. Like a bad car crash, you can't seem to look away. That, however, is only one video. The band is actually NOT at all like what we seem in this video. Rather, they are solid rockers, having a sound not unlike the Beasty Boys, as you can see in these videos recorded at the Festival Slavske Rock in 2011 and posted on the band's own website.

These boys are pranksters, you see...
