Eduard Khil, aka Mr Trololo, dies aged 77

Eduard Khil became an unwitting online sensation.

One of the internet's most recognisable faces, Soviet singer Eduard Khil, aka, Mr Trololo, has died in St Petersburg, Russia, aged 77, following a stroke in May.

Born in 1934, Khil's childhood was difficult. He was evacuated during world war two and, split from his family, spent his time singing for wounded soldiers.

A trained opera singer, Khil became a viral sensation after a 1976 recording of his hit "I am so happy to finally be back home" was picked up online, racking up tens of millions of hits.

So enormous was his popularity he adopted the name, and his character even appeared in hit cartoon Family Guy.

Khil was a Russian superstar, being awarded the People's Artist of Russia in 1974 and Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 4th Class, in 2009. He performed at St Petersburg's 2010 victory day parade.

Butlins have been airing that ad for at least a couple of weeks.

Marc 16-01-2013 07:30 PM
Why is it such a big deal anyway? It's nice isn't it

Mrluvaluva 16-01-2013 08:24 PM
It's not. Lol. I was just stating it's not just appeared today, like it has some kind of connection.

Marc 16-01-2013 08:26 PM
LOL I thought the context of this meant it was rude

Mrluvaluva 16-01-2013 08:29 PM
I'm lost. :confused:

Marc 16-01-2013 08:33 PM
Nvm. I thought you guys were suggesting it was tasteless for Butlins to be using the song in their ad.. but I see now that you weren't

Mrluvaluva 16-01-2013 08:38 PM
Ok I see now. The only think that lacks taste in this thread is Nathan. :idc:

King Gizzard 16-01-2013 08:53 PM
I was only using this thread because I couldn't find the other trololo thread I made which wasn't related to his death when it first went viral on youtube :laugh: Him dying and butlins isn't related at all

Marc 16-01-2013 08:54 PM
Nathan :bored:
