320 - The Beatles Back in the U.S.S.R. 1968

"Back in the U.S.S.R." is a 1968 song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney(credited to Lennon/McCartney), which opens the double-disc album The Beatles, commonly referred to as The White Album.
The song describes a bad flight from the United States to the Soviet Union ("U.S.S.R." stands for "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics") on board a British BOAC airplane and mentions the beauty of Soviet women, the sound of balalaikas ringing, and the pleasure of returning home to his own country.
