Sochi closing song for USA? ‘Stop screwing around’

When Team USA walked out during the closing ceremonies at Sochi, waving proudly and showing off their medals, the song "One more time, we're gonna celebrate" played in the background.

Then the music took a more critical turn, switching to a tune from the Russian group Lubeh. The song was played without its vocals, but some Russian speakers watching the Winter Games who know Lubeh found the choice surprising. It's titled, "Don't screw around, America."

Here's a sampling of the lyrics, translated from Russian:

"Don't screw around, America. Here are some Russian wool boots since you're probably freezing. What's Siberia, what's Alaska but two shores?

Bath house, vodka, accordions and salmon (repeat)

Dark streets, the girls are good girls, sweetheart, we will dance.
