    "Back in the U.S.S.R." is a song by the English rock band the Beatles and the first track of the 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as the "White Album"). Written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership,[3] the song is a parody of Chuck Berry's "Back in the U.S.A." and the Beach Boys' "California Girls". The lyrics subvert Berry's patriotic sentiments about the United States, as the narrator expresses relief upon returning home to the Soviet Union, formally the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

    Hi Rob, I have to practice this song. Can I record the piano part and add it here?

    Sure Eric. It’s been so long I hardly know why we don’t have keys in here!

    @CyberBass: Right, surprising after all that COVID time, eh? On my end, I was thinking that this song didn't really feel appropriate right now -- i.e. to a point where lyrics would need to be changed if re-recorded today? But I'm OK to make that abstraction by looking at it as a historical piece (i.e. USSR), with the hopes of a return to a happier post-war state, if you're OK with that too.

    @CyberBass: Submitted a piano track. My suggestion would be to reduce the number of BV tracks. Maybe just keep Track 3 (has video) plus one that does the 1-2-3-4 at the beginning? This way, we'd have a 3x3 video.?

    @pcderic: Great track Eric - I never realized how much we were missing the piano! I took your advice and consolidated a bunch of tracks. Anyone who doesn't have me blocked will see the status change. Concerns with the new format anyone?

    @CyberBass: Thanks for allowing me in. You guys had way too much fun without me before! Great integration work Rob. IMO, it makes the video easier to watch. So no concern for me!
