In 2009, a 1976 video of Khil singing a non-lexical vocable version of the song I Am Glad, 'Cause I'm Finally Returning Back Home was uploaded to YouTube and became known as "Trololololololololololo" or "Trololo". The name "Trololo" is an onomatopoeia of the distinctive way Khil vocalizes throughout the song. The quirky and catchy video quickly became an Internet meme and Khil became known as "Mr. Trololo" or "Trololo Man". The song was written by Arkady Ostrovsky. Besides Khil, it was also performed by Valery Obodzinsky, Hungarian singer János Koós and by Muslim Magomayev on the Little Blue Light program in the Soviet Union. According to Khil, the Trololo song originally featured lyrics which described a narrative about a cowboy riding a horse to his farm:
I'm riding the prairie on my stallion, a mustang as such, and my sweetheart
Mary now knits a stocking for me, a thousand miles away from here.
