The people demanded it, so here it is: The Trololo song in its entirety for your audio pleasure! That’s right folks, the YouTube sensation with 1,300,000 views and rising is prepped for digital distribution courtesy of yours truly. Actually titled “Я очень рад, ведь я, наконец, возвращаюсь домой”, which translates as “I am very glad, because I’m finally returning back home,” the Trololo song has been certified as viral. The song itself was written by Arkady Ostrovsky, and performed by Eduard Khil, a Soviet-Russian baritone singer and a recipient of the People’s Artist Award of the RSFSR. In 2009, a 1976 video of Khil singing a non-lexical vocable version of the song was uploaded to YouTube, and quickly became an Internet meme, known as “Trololololololololololo” or “Trololo,” giving Khil the nickname “Mr. Trololo” or “Trololo Man.” It first appeared on some sites beginning on February 21, 2010, and gained prominence on March 3 during a segment on The Colbert Report and was also parodied by actor Christoph Waltz on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Here’s the original YouTube video for you to LOL to … or Trololo to … well, you get the idea:
