Sing along with Kim Jong Il! [link dead, see below]

(Seriously.)

The North Korean song of National Defense given the Mitch Miller treatment.  Truly odd. 

Makes me worry about them both more and less, simultaneously.

First noticed via Boing Boing, which is truly wonderful every day.

UPDATE: The North Koreans seem to be blocking access to the site now, but you can still get there by visiting http://www.korea-dpr.com/ — be sure to be terribly impressed by the giant hydroelectric plant in the logo — then clicking the flag to enter, then clicking on “Friendship,” and then clicking on the KFA Star.

I do not, however, recommend actually joining or supporting the KFA, unless you’re the sort of person who thinks large hydroelectric plants administered by police states really ought to be something to sing about.
