RIP "Mr. Trololo" Eduard Khil
« on: June 04, 2012, 04:53:42 PM »
Hey guys.
Today's a sad day in the life of every internet and forum user. One of the most loved internet memes died today. He may be known to you as Mr. Trololo, his actual name is Eduard Khil. In the age of 77, he passed away after having witnessed a stroke in late May.
This is meant as a tribute to him.

Memorial video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyO6fgSQrBg

Let us not forget him. Indeed he was a great singer. Let's keep him in our minds by letting the "Trololo"-meme live on.

Cheers.

It's good that he lived to see his work reach worldwide popularity, not many artists could say that after 40 years of relative obscurity.

Yeah the lyrics were about an American cowboy coming home, in the USSR cowboys and westerns were quite popular in the 50s and 60s, often with undertones of the political sort.

There should be a reward unit that replaces the Soviet sniper ace with Edhuard Khil as a soviet cowboy as a tribute <3

Iam dead serious.
