These Singing Russian Grandmothers Saved Their Village [Video]

Remember those awesome Russian grandmothers who qualified to perform at the European pop music contest Eurovision? They placed second, and  it turns out their local government was so thrilled with their international success, it decided to build a new water pipeline, install streetlights, lay new gravel on the roads, and install high-speed Internet for the village’s only school. Awesome! Here’s a video of there Eurovision performance — I can only hope to be half as cool as these grannies when I get older.
