There is a wonderful bard song (1989) by Alexander Dulov and V. Tushnova "Nu, pozhalujsta". You may find it on youtube video.
"Nu, pozhalujsta, nu pozhalujsta,
V samoliot menia voz'mi,
Na ustalost' mne pozhalujsia, 
Na pleche moiom usni.
Ruku daj, svodia po lesenke
Na drugom krajiu zemli, 
Gde vstaiut, kak schastia vestniki,
Gory sinie vdali."
Etc.
Also, by "Lube"
"Pozovi menia tiho po imeni,
kliuchevoj vodoj napoi menia," etc.

Dear colleagues,


Can anyone recommend a pop (or other) song that illustrates the use of imperatives in Russian? Thanks for any ideas--
