[QUOTE=Kopimi;36191276]really your day is ruined because some obscure russian singer you never heard of until "trololo" became a terrible meme, that ruined your day?[/QUOTE]
He sang great, it doesn't matter if he was a meme or not, it is just sad that he died
It's weird how popular he got. Memes are fucking weird.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;36190890]Well that's a shame. I posted this in the last thread about him but I feel it's appropriate: The 2012 rendition (though I'm 99.9% certain it's just lipsync) of the song that made him internet famous.

Pretty goddamn good for a 78 year old.[/QUOTE]
He looks so fucking young
R.I.P :(

way to be a negative nancy
Love that he found fame again in recent years, but hate that he made that song.
He was a good man, what a shame.
RIP Trololo guy, your voice was awesome and you were a meme before memes were horrible.

I honestly couldn't care less about him being a meme, his voice is fucking outstanding. Besides, meme or not everyone loved his song and he got very popular which made him happy to see the world congratulating him on his voice.
He lived a very good life and I wouldn't be shaming those who say it has ruined their day.
I want to curl up and cry now.
Rest in Peace.

I'm still impressed with the song as a feat of vocal aerobatics and it's strangely catchy as hell. While certain websites turned it into a meme and ran off the end of the earth with it, that doesn't change it from being an appealing song.

Actually, coming from a Russian family I've heard him as a kid, before he became famous over the internet
It hits me pretty close
[QUOTE]I haven't heard anything about it. It's nice, of course! Thanks for good news! There is a backstory about this song. Originally, we had lyrics written for this song but they were poor. I mean, they were good, but we couldn't publish them at that time. They contained words like these: "I'm riding my stallion on a prairie, so-and-so mustang, and my beloved Mary is thousand miles away knitting a stocking for me". Of course, we failed to publish it at that time, and we, Arkady Ostrovsky and I, decided to make it a vocalisation. But the essence remained in the title. The song is very playful – it has no lyrics, so we had to make up something for people would listen to it, and so this was an interesting arrangement.[/QUOTE]
This was from him, thought it'd be nice to share it
Huh. I always thought it was weird the "lyrics" were just a guy going OOOOO-LOLOLO.... but that makes some sense
Good-night, sweet prince...

The government didn't like some of the lyrics so he had to cut them is what also happened
Always seemed like a nice guy from what little of him I've seen. Really is a shame. RIP.
As other people have said, it's really nice that he got to experience when he became famous on the internet.
Well that sucks.
R.I.P., a good man
My whole year is ruined... Wake me up when we can bring him back from the dead.
I'm not crazy about memes, but he seemed like a genuinely happy person. He really got a kick out of hearing about his "internet fame" and knowing that people all over the world were listening to him so many years later. He was also a very good vocalist, of course.
Sad news.
A stroke is a horrible way to be Khilled.
Great singer, I never really heard any of his other songs until today.
Kruschev's ghost was jealous of his popularity with American pig-dogs. So he had him disposed of.
RIP Eduard Khill

True hero of the Soviet Union.
Oh goddammit, there goes my day.
RIP, he lived a long and (hopefully) successful life.
Whole week ruined.
With so many motherfucking lifedestroyers out there, why does only great people die?
Goddamn you, life.
Rest In Peace, Khill.
retarded meme but that dude was cool.
rip in peace
Oh rest in peace mr Eduard Khil. We will miss you....
