    Eduard Khill, better known as Mr. Trololo, passed away today in St. Petersburg, following a stroke in late May.​


    Eduard Khil was born, 4 September 1934 in Smolensk.

    In 2009, a 1976 video of Khil singing a non-lexical vocable version of the song I Am Glad, 'Cause I'm Finally Returning Back Home (Я очень рад, ведь я, наконец, возвращаюсь домой) was uploaded to YouTube and became known as "Trololololololololololo" or "Trololo". The name "Trololo" is an onomatopoeia of the distinctive way Khil vocalizes throughout the song. The quirky and catchy video quickly became an Internet meme and Khil became known as "Mr. Trololo" or "Trololo Man".

    I still remember the first time I saw this video I was over with you guys (Peter and Lykke) in Denmark and that got stuck in my head for a while. After that I watched it a few more time as home and it got stuck in my head again. So not watching it anymore ;)

    Sad to hear he's gone though.
