"Kalinka" is a song by the Danish dance-pop duo Infernal. It was released as the third single from their debut album, Infernal Affairs, in 1998.[1] The song is based on the Russian Drobushki folk melody, and samples "Kalinka" by the Soviet Army Chorus & Band, directed by Boris Alexandrov and recorded in 1956 and 1963.[1]

It has become Infernal's signature song from their early eurodance period (1997–2003),[2] and when the song is performed at one of their concerts, they encourage the audience to perform the "kosak" dance.
