A new internet hero.....
I expect during his long career, Russian baritone Eduard Khil would never have realised that he would have gone on to become an internet phenomenon. Thanks to YouTube he has become recognised to many people as "Mr Trollolo" after a clip of his 1976 performance of "I am Glad I Am Finally Going Home" was adapted with slightly comic affect. Wikipedia says of the video "The Trololo video first appeared on some sites beginning on 21 February 2010, the most prominent of those being the "Trololo" website that rocketed the meme into popular awareness, receiving more than 3,000,000 hits in its first month.[16][17] It gained prominence on 3 March during a segment on The Colbert Report.[18] It was also parodied by actor Christoph Waltz on Jimmy Kimmel Live![19] as well as Craig Reucassel on the Australian TV show "The Chaser". The "Trololo" meme in turn re-ignited interest in Khil's singing career aside from his vocalised performance; for a time, the "Trololo" website included a petition for Khil to come out of retirement to perform on a world tour."
