Eduard Khil died

Yeah, so why are you so mad, Alyxx?

[Alyxx Thorne]

I'm not mad, not anymore. I just felt a bit frustrated and needed to vent a bit.

 

But you won't hear anything more about that from me.

The actual song was called: "I'm so happy because I am finally returning home" It was about him being glad returning to Russia. He wasnt allowed to sing the text (for some reason) so instead it just was: "Trololo"

It was actually about an American cowboy returning home to his farm. He wasn't allowed to sing the lyrics because Russia and America weren't on good terms.

I'm with Alyxx on this one.

[Jek Jek Roo]

Another hater... Gee

[Alyxx Thorne]

It's not about hate, it's about respecting the guy, a guy that I didn't even know of and I doubt anyone else would if it wasn't for the meme. Just because we have a different opinion doesn't mean you can label us.

 

I guess I just don't share your sense of humor about this.

 

I'll leave it at that.

As much as I would like to believe the more popular version of the cold war turning music into trololo, I find this explanation a bit more likely:

 

"Nobody banned its lyrics, but my father just composed the music during the period of his disagreement with Lev Oshanin. The latter told him that the lyrics are more important in a song and that a composer is nothing without a lyricist. So Dad told him during the argument, "Well, I don't need your verses at all, I'll manage without them."

Most old people here know this guy actually, so he is a legend. Even my dad knows this guy without ever having to tell him that this is a meme.

From what I hear, Khil was a pretty cool guy in real life. Though, maybe don't bring up old threads that don't really need new posts. Just as friendly advice, of course.

Yeah You're probably right, sorry I was trying to find the Graph Topic and came upon this and I guess we can forget this whole thing and lock this thread. I wasn't here for quite a bit of time so I never had a chance to reply to this topic.

 

Edit: Sorry about the necromancy people.
