Legacy[edit]
Internet videos[edit]
In 2009, a 1976 video of 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[15] and became known as "Trololol" or "Trololo".[16] The name "Trololo" is an onomatopoeia of the distinctive way Khil vocalizes throughout the song. The quirky and catchy video quickly went viral and Khil became known as "Mr. Trololo" or "Trololo Man".[16]
The song was written by Arkady Ostrovsky. Besides Khil, it was also performed by Valery Obodzinsky,[17][18] Hungarian singer János Koós,[19] and by Muslim Magomayev on the Little Blue Light programme in the Soviet Union.[20] The Magomayev version is often dubbed as "Sheldon Cooper singing Trololo" due to Magomayev's physical resemblance to Jim Parsons, who plays Cooper on The Big Bang Theory.[20]
According to Khil, the Trololo song originally featured lyrics which described a narrative about a cowboy riding a horse to his farm:[21][22]
Я скачу по прерии на своем жеребце, мустанге таком-то, а моя любимая Мэри за тысячу миль отсюда вяжет для меня чулок
I'm riding the prairie on my stallion, so-and-so mustang, and my beloved Mary is thousand miles away knitting a stocking for me.
The Trololo video first appeared on some sites beginning on 21 February 2010, the most prominent of those being the "Trololo" website trololololololololololo.com[23] that helped push the video into popular awareness, receiving more than 3,000,000 hits in its first month.[24][25] It gained prominence on 3 March 2010, during a segment on The Colbert Report[26] after appearing on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld a handful of times over the previous couple of weeks.[when?] It was also parodied by actor Christoph Waltz on Jimmy Kimmel Live![27] as well as Craig Reucassel of The Chaser on the 2010 Australian TV specials Yes We Canberra!, and in September 2011 on the animated American television series Family Guy in its tenth-season premiere episode, "Lottery Fever".[28]
"Trololo"'s popularity in turn re-ignited interest in Khil's singing career aside from his vocalised performance; for a time, the "Trololo" website[23] included a petition for Khil to come out of retirement to perform on a world tour.
I haven't heard anything about it. It's nice, of course! Thanks for good news! There is a backstory about this song. Originally, we had lyrics written for this song but they were poor. I mean, they were good, but we couldn't publish them at that time. They contained words like these: "I'm riding my stallion on a prairie, so-and-so mustang, and my beloved Mary is thousand miles away knitting a stocking for me". Of course, we failed to publish it at that time, and we, Arkady Ostrovsky and I, decided to make it a vocalisation. But the essence remained in the title. The song is very playful it has no lyrics, so we had to make up something so that people would listen to it, and so this was an interesting arrangement.

scandalous and forbidden by the Soviet Union.
