Mr Trolololo - I am very glad, as I'm finally returning back home. In 2009, a 1976 video of Russian singer Eduard Khil singing a non-lexical vocable version of the song "I am very glad, as I'm finally returning back home" (Russian: Я о́чень рад, ведь я, наконе́ц, возвраща́юсь домо́й) was uploaded to YouTube and became known as "Trololol" or "Trololo". The name "Trololo" is an onomatopoeia of the distinctive way Khil vocalizes throughout the song. Eduard Khil's manner of singing and performance was unique and easily recognizable in Russia characterized by his personal charm and his lyrical baritone, which combined a degree of optimism and humor. When Eduard died in 2012, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said: His name is connected to an era in the history of Russian music. Eduard Khil was unique in his extraordinary charm and lyricism, and constant in his professionalism, vocal culture and creative taste. Many of the songs he performed became part of the golden fund of the Russian stage. #theuncoolhunter #kitsch #retro #music #russia #weird
