Have you been bitten by the Coub bug yet? A video-sharing website founded in Moscow in 2012, Coub has been called Russia's answer to the GIF.

A Coub is a looped video up to 10 seconds long with a full-length (usually unlooped) audio track added. As we've discovered here at CBC Music, browsing the website is dangerously addictive.

Naturally, we're drawn to the Coubs pertaining to music. Here are some of our favourites.

Schnittke!

Coub: where the sublime (the third movement of Alfred Schnittke's String Quartet No. 3) meets the ridiculous (campy, '70s fight scene).

Teenage jazz group

We love how the enthusiasm of this air band matches the vibe of this fun track from KOAN Sound.

Time-lapse bats

Mother Nature supplied these furry little guys with opera capes, and their resemblance to the Three Tenors is uncanny.

'Blue in Green'

We thought the Miles Davis original was perfect on its own until this.

Guns N' Tchaikovsky

Finally a good use for firearms!

Glenn Gould blisses out

Replace Bach with a Billy Idol remix, and suddenly Gould is that guy you hope doesn't sit next to you on the bus.

'Get Lucky'

Of the many cat covers on Coub, this is our favourite. (We never told you this was going to be educational.)

Dog Vader

Hey John Williams fans: respect the Roomba.

Pole-dance clarinet

Warning: you won't be able to unsee this.
