In Russian slang, delirium tremens, the moment of inebriation when people start to get the shakes and to hallucinate, is known as "belochka" or "a little squirrel." The squirrel in the video, who is red-eyed and bedraggled, is therefore shown ranting, singing, and delivering a nonsensical monologue.Frankly, it's just as terrifying without the translation.
He talks about "chasing spiders up the walls" and finishes up by offering to kill his neighbour's wife because she is "the devil."
