ST. PETERSBURG, Russia -- Eduard Khil was a beloved Soviet crooner who won sudden international stardom two years ago when a 1976 video of him singing "trololo" instead of the song's censored words became a global Internet hit.
Khil, best known as Mr. Trololo, died Monday at age 77.
when i heard this on the radio it was hilarious, they were saying it in a dead set serious news talking tone. "The trololol guy from the internet meme is dead"
