Eduard Khil, a Russian baritone that found relative success in the 60s and 70s, became an Internet pop culture sensation last year when a video entitled “I am very glad, because I’m finally going home” was uploaded onto YouTube. Featuring a 1976 performance by Khil, it quickly became a popular meme and was nicknamed “Trololololololololololo,” while Khil, himself, was dubbed the “Trololo Man.”

Variations of the film exist, most notably the one included above featuring a revealing scene from LOST.
