I give you. . . Mr. Trololo!

I give you. . . Mr. Trololo!
Q: Who is Mr. Trololo?
A: He is Eduard Anatolyevich Khil, born 4 September 1934, Smolensk, Western Oblast, Russia. He is a Soviet-Russian baritone singer. He was a recipient of the People's Artist Award of the RSFSR.
The family name Khil is not derived from Hill. The singer stated in an interview that he probably has a Spanish ancestor with the surname Gil, which is pronounced similar to hill.
He studied at the Leningrad Conservatory and graduated in 1960. He initially began performing as a soloist. Khil currently lives in St. Petersburg.
In 1977-1979, Khil taught solo singing at the Saint Petersburg State Theatre Arts Academy.
His singing career faded in the 1990s and Khil took a job at a cafe in Paris. Since 1997, Khil has been involved with his son in a joint project with the rock group Prepinaki.
After retiring from singing, he faded into obscurity in his later years. In 2010, Khil reclaimed the spotlight when he became the subject of the viral "Trololo" internet meme on YouTube.
Q: What is the Trololo song?
A: It became an internet meme in 2009. It is a 1976 video recording of Khil singing a wordless version of the song "I Am Glad To Finally Be Home".
This gave Mr. Khil the nickname "Mr. Trololo" or "Trololo Man". The song itself was written by Arkady Ostrovsky, but the name "trololo" comes from the way Khil vocalises throughout the song.
It was featured during a segment on The Colbert Report and was also parodied on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Many internet fans consider the "trololo" meme may the new Rick Roll.
Oddly enough, the "trololo" song has created an interest in Khil's singing career and there exists a petition for Khil to come out of retirement to perform on a world tour.

ReplyDeleteHmmmm. I had a comment stick here last nite, but now it's gone. I'm discombobulated, to a certain degree.
ReplyDeleteSpooks in the system. Maybe it's Harold. He shows up in the weirdest places (not just TV credits). Pictures have fallen off walls. One time a knife I put down on a plate vibrated for 30 seconds, stopped, then started again.
ReplyDeleteOr...it's Chaplin's ghost battling Harold's and they're bumping into things. Maybe Chaplin wants to be in the novel, too, and Buster Keaton a-and...OH, STOP IT!! thump...ouch!
DeleteI think you're onto something.
