Eduard Khil, of Trololo fame, died five years ago
by Rob Beschizza from on (#31ABA)
It seems like yesterday, but Trololo - the internet-fueled renaissance of a perfectly demented Soviet echo of midcentury western light-entertainment bullshit - is almost a decade old. And the savant behind it, Eduard Khil, was born this day in 1934 and died a little more than five (!) years ago, after too-briefly enjoying his sudden international fame. Google made an animated doodle in his honor:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaCz_SFrTaU
I can't decide what was the last gasp of the web's aughts-era wonder: Trololo or Rammstein feat. Cookie Monster.
