Noise du Jour: “Nas Ne Dogonjat” by t.A.T.u.
Posted by Eliza Gauger
I generally like my music videos a little more high-concept, preferably with a plot, but for t.A.T.u. I will make exception. They are the grimy Soviet candyfloss of the Europop genre, their sticky musical confections studded with trifling angst and grand themes: puppy lust, thwarted yearning, and lost innocence.
In this video: dubiously lesbian nymphets grand-theft-auto a tanker truck and ghost ride the whip at 90mph down a blighted Russian highway, as their girlhoods flash before their eyes, and are finally run under the tires. Having murdered their old selves, our freshfaced heroines career into a snowblind future, adorably frostbitten, and clutching each other through their bulky parkas.
Adjudged NWS, for brief child nudity (RUSSIA!!!).

Yeah shortly before the one minute mark. Nothing sordid, just what looks to be an old baby/toddler photo.

Russotrash! When are these girls going to grow up? Are they slaves to some sordid, ex-KGB mobster? WTF does nas ne dogonjat mean, anyway? Somebody tell me!

It means “Not going to get us,” or something of the sort. The song was actually released in english too back in like 1998~. It was called…”Not gunna get us.”

Yeah, but the Russian version of this song is a lot better (unlike, IMO, the Russian version of “All The Things She Said…” although the Russian VIDEO’s definitely better).
I love tATu. I can not even pretend to feel guilty about loving a couple of defiantly shrieking Catholic school girl lesbian girkchiks or their wonderful pop pap. But unfortunately, tATu was an act that could only stay together for a couple of years… once they stopped being teenage girls and lesbians, all you had was their music, not the fantasy.
I often wish the producers had replaced the girls every couple of years and kept the band alive.

I’d say that tATu is very “high concept” (which has nothing to do with “high brow”)

I’d just like to point out, that they totally “ghost ride the whip” as it were, way before any one invented the phrase, or made it into something to do in rap videos. Just goes to show that Californians haven’t had an idea that didn’t come from SOMEWHERE in Asia, since 1998.
