WATCH: Russian Police Choir Performs Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ at Olympic Opening Ceremony

 

The most infectious hit song of 2013 has made its way around the world and into the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics. Yes, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs choir (a thing that exists) performed their rendition of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” to the international travelers in the Fisht Olympic Stadium.

It’s a song that’s inspired people the world over, from Stephen Colbert and his epic dance party to a dubbed President Obama “singing” it! It’s a song with the universal, boundary-defying message that if you commit to it hard enough, you will eventually find someone who is willing to sleep with you.

Though if you do stay up all night to get lucky in Sochi, you’d better find somewhere that isn’t a complete sh*thole.
