Variations on St. Petersburg folk song “Chizhyk-pyzhyk“. Electrokantele, Yakov Nizhnik.

Unsophisticated, mainly children, song, having these lines: Чижик-пыжик, где ты был? На Фонтанке водку пил. Выпил рюмку, выпил две – Закружилось в голове. Chizhik-Pyzhik, gdje ty byl? Na fontankje vodku pil. Vypil rjumku, vypil dvje – Zakruzhilosj v golovje. Chizhik-Pyzhik, where’ve you been? Drank vodka on the Fontanka. Took a shot, took another – Got dizzy. I improvised a bit using electrokantele. Could you find any “Easter eggs“ (пасхалки). Thanks to the Musical Connections and Cultural Arts Divisio
