Pop song in praise of Belarus's dictator

Lukashenka, the corrupt dictator of Belarus, has a bad pop band campaigning for him in his crooked election. They sing a hilarious song praising him to the skies (and don't miss the video)...

Well-set and slim
He won't teach you evil
Father can bridle anyone
Father is stronger than the rest
He will settle conflicts
He is reliable and calm
He just throws a glance - and you see
Who is the master in the house

My grandfather came from Belarus -- I'm just glad he got out when he did, otherwise this might be the themesong of my homeland. Link (Thanks, Brendan!)
