And imagine the strategic value! Yuzu keeps getting the short end of the stick because he doesn't get the last skate. Well, imagine ANYBODY skating after this. Commentators will try to wax poetic about whatever, and judges will try to do their thing, but the only thing in everybody's heads will be Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. It's impossible to get it out. The rest of the last group can skate to the most uplifting arias with the most heavenly voices and it won't matter. It'll all be Ra-Ra-Rasputin.

 

I don't think that any performance or music choice of any other skater could top Yuzu with Rasputin anyway. That would be just too hilarious. If I had to skate after him... gosh I would probably get deductions for recurring laugh attacks. I tell you: the commentators and even the judges would totally lose their sh*t 

 

 

There are three other songs of Rasputin troll level that would make me cry from laughing (and they are all from the 70s lol):

Moscow

Bicycle Race

Rama Lama Ding Dong

Sex Bomb?  I've been putting that one out into the universe a lot. There's a video where Yuzu watches Plushenko practice it and he looks sooo intensely focused I figured he was planning a tribute ex.  

no, Rasputin

 

I know about Sex Bomb, though I'm not sure I want to

*insert pikachu face here* Wow it's wild how you sometimes realise how different childhood experiences are for everybody, I could sing Boney M's greatest hits (badly but I could) by the time I was nine and it never really occurred to me that that wasn't a universal experience.

 

Now I wonder if Yuzu is familiar with Rasputin. Maybe I should send a CD.

haha, I mean Yuzu and I are around the same age, so if *I* who grew up in an English speaking country don't know it, he probably doesn't either

 

therefore, if you want to enact this EVIL MASTER PLAN, you totally should send the CD

Yuzu's mum probablly remember from her days (I'd say she was a school kid in 70's) so don't write the song's title on the CD  

[WinForPooh]

I did grow up listening to all of my parents' music collection over and over and over again, but Boney M's (and Abba's, for some reason) songs were just those 'everybody knows' things.

 

Hmmm, Daddy Cool. @shanshani you should listen to Daddy Cool, too. And so must Yuzu. You're just a couple of years older than my siblings and if they can survive the greatest hits...

 

That's it, a CD with a fake label going to TCC.

I have a quick question

does anyone know if Skatecanada will make live streaming available for the US this year like they did last year?  Us poor Americans need to watch Yuzuru too! 

Check the Skate Canada website, they usually say if there's going to be livestreams. Although I think this year Skate Canada is also working with TSN. They've just filmed a bunch of stuff with On Ice Perspectives and the national team.

Ah, Boney M, I love Boney M! It seems like a musical sacrilege that kids nowadays don't know them, they are so fun! (Then again, one of my co-workers who is a 90s born kid didn't know Bohemian Rhapsody... that is, he knew the song, he just didn't know it was THE Bohemian Rhapsody... I was silently horrified, although as a sacrilege of my own, I don't actually like Bohemian Rhapsody) Hooray! Hooray! is one of my favorite songs to listen to to get in a Summer mood lol But hmmm, Rasputin...

 

I'm Going Slightly Mad would be awesome, though! I also love Innuendo and The show must go on and think Yuzu could be appropriately dramatic for them, but that's going back to the darker zone

I think, Yuzu would absolutely enjoy to troll the whole skating world with a once-in-a-lifetime-wtf-performance, whenever and whatever that would be. No program reveal, many misleading hints from TCC instead, maybe he would even ask the referee to mute his practice run-through for the ultimate surprise effect... and of course he would take care of exquisite choreo and skating quality, so that the judges had no choice but to give him top scores for something... they would NEVER forget  

 

I can see that sweet grin on his face already...

Well ok. The idea is pretty funny, but...

 

The man who should have skated to Rasputin was Plush. If ever there was a guy whose public image embodies the themes of that song -! But I guess it would be cultural suicide for a Russian to do that piece, given the actual historical event the song is based on. 

 

Next thing, someone will be suggesting Yuzu do Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy"...

I feel like I've lost my innocence

Another one bites the dust! 

[rockstaryuzu]

So, now that we've all convinced ourselves that it's going to be a recycled programs season, and resigned ourselves to it, and talked ourselves into thinking it's a good idea, and psyched ourselves up for another round of Origin... Watch Yuzu do something completely different, just to raise the troll level. 

 

You know he would!
