Russia's Red Army Choir have a long and distinguished history, specialising in rousing, patriotic marching songs, but there is another, more surprising side to their repertoire too.
First formed under Joseph Stalin in 1939, they were meant to represent the collective voice of the revolution, to rouse the spirits of Red Army troops.
The Soviet Union may have collapsed, but the choir, now under the control of Russia's Interior Ministry, are going strong, and providing some unlikely hits.
Alongside their more traditional fare, they have covered Daft Punk's Get Lucky, Sex Bomb by Tom Jones and The Beatles' Hey Jude.
The songs are performed in full military dress uniform, complete with medals, led by their charismatic conductor, Major General Viktor Eliseev.
They've recorded a music video, complete with smoke machine, theatrical lighting and choreographed moves.
But the Major General is keen to stress that, whilst some of their choices may be lighter, the choir retains a serious purpose.
He explained: "Since the time of Peter the Great there were musicians and orchestras which reinforced the patriotic tunes inside every warrior - to raise their morale so that they would win the battle and defeat the enemy.
"We perform for our soldiers, their commanders and their families to reinforce the feeling that the Motherland really needs them, that we are proud of them, that they are doing their patriotic duty."
Decision-making in the choir is a democratic process, with every member getting a say in the songs they select.
One of the lead vocalists, Alexei Dmitriev, told Sky News: "I really want people who are watching and listening to us to understand that we are doing this only for them.
"It's personally for them, not for the government, not for their bosses, but personally for everyone who is in the hall, or watching us on television.
"We want to touch every heart."
The choir performed Get Lucky at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics, in front of an audience that included Vladimir Putin.
The fact that they were allowed to do so suggests the Russian president approves of their work.
