Singing Santa eat your heart out! Here comes singing Aleksandar the Great

As Nova Makedonija reports, the mayor of Central Skopje plans to combine the best of ‘old’ and ‘new’ Macedonia by placing a status of Alexander the Great on the central square in Skopje, combined with a fountain and songs played by Toshe Proeski. Besides the obvious advantages of tapping into both the offending Greece and into the national hero on horseback line of work, the combination with water features and singing will be hard to beat. So, who could compete?

– Rocky in Zitiste singing ‘Eye of the Tiger’

– Samantha Fox in Cacak singing ‘Touch me’ (although only if the good citizens of Cacak decide against the odds to erect the statue)

– Mother Teresa just down the road in Skopje singing Hallelujah

The possibilities are endless…
