    The verse of the Gummy Bears theme tune is just the Soviet Union National Anthem speeded up. Same chord sequence.

    If you put the Gummy Bears lyrics and the English translation of the Soviet Anthem next to each other, the two sets of lyrics are pretty much interchangeable.

    Commie Bears.

    Enjoy :)

        I think so, but it was a long time ago! I think I was trying to play the anthem on piano, and whilst working it out, suddenly thought “this is just the Gummy Bears theme tune slowed down”.

        With some more talent, confidence and free time, I would have attempted to produce a recorded version in the last decade or so - but I never did, so if anyone else can, please do so. It’s probably worth quite a few “Internet points” :)
