Biography

Eduard Anatolyevich Khil (4 September 1934 – 4 June 2012) was a Russian baritone singer and a recipient of the People's Artist Award of the Russian SFSR. Khil became known to international audiences in 2010 when a 1976 recording of him singing a non-lexical vocable version of the song "I am very glad, as I'm finally returning back home" became an Internet meme. The song (often referred to as "Trololo") is now commonly associated with Internet trolling.
