Russia's Vladimir Putin Plays Piano, Sings Blueberry Hill (video, lyrics)
What can't Vladimir Putin do? We all know Vladimir Putin has an instructional judo video but now it seems Vladimir Putin can play piano and sing - belting out a cheesy version of Blueberry Hill to a throng of appreciates celebrities at a charity event in St. Petersburg.
Vladimir Putin made his audience sit up and take note, as he sang at a charity fundraiser. The reception at an ice stadium in St. Petersburg was dedicated to fighting children's cancer. International celebrities including Kevin Costner, Gerard Depardieu, Mickey Rourke, Sharon Stone, Kurt Russell, Vincent Cassel, Monica Belucci, Ornella Muti, Goldie Hawn and many others attended the benefit concert. Many of the stars are actively involved in charity work which draws needed attention to children's oncological and ophthalmological diseases. When the hostess approached Putin's table and asked him to sing for the audience, his immediate reaction was "are you kidding me?"
By singing Blueberry Hill, Vladimir Putin, has joined a long list of famous names who have recorded the 1940 classic including: Fats Domino, Elvis Preseley. Little Richard, Cliff Richard, and Led Zeppelin.
So besides saving journalists from Tiger attacks there is clearly more than the meets the eye to Vladimir Putin.

Blueberry Hill Lyrics
Blueberry Hill
I found my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you
The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
My dream came true
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

Interesting change for his image. Must be recreating his image and trying to inspire the Russian people. I assume political reasons behind this, or he's just watching to much American TV and listening too and being influenced by the likes of Madonna and Lady Gaga..
