Another Dead Music Legend

Well, not exactly. Eduard Khil, the Russian singer whose "Trololo" song became a YouTube sensation, died after complications from a stroke. He was apparently a big enough deal in Russia that Vladamir Putin expressed his condolences.

And while you won't find Khil's CDs at your local music store alongside those of other recently deceased musicians -- Donna Summer, Doc Watson, Levon Helm, Whitney Houston and Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys -- his passing is worth one more trololo. Enjoy it.

  1. WTF!!! This is just disturbing. They guy looks fake with that terrible wig. It reminds me of the great Lawrence Welk spoofs that SNL has been doing the past few seasons.
