Performance with the Red Army Choir

In 1972 he performed "Don't Cry, Little Girl" (original Russian title "Не плачь, девчонка" along the Red Army Choir. There is a YouTube video of that performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYFs832fdbQ I think this information should definitely go into the article.

Family Guy

He wasn't actually in it. It wasn't his voice and his name is nowhere in the credits, so goodbye bit of info! Or rather, someone ought to remove it. I cannot, as I am anonymous. Single tear. 99.240.248.152 ([[User talk:99.240.248.152|talk]talk]) 06:37, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gilberto Gil is not a Spanish name

Although it is possible that "Gil" also exists in Spanish, if Mr. Khil was making reference to the Brazilian singer Gilberto Gil (I don't know any other) than the name is, undoubtedly, Portuguese. Wikipedia is about providing correct information, and even if it is valid to say that Eduard Khil cited this name to illustrate the origin of his own (something I cannot confirm), either this should be omitted or, at least, a comment should be included clarifying this is due to Mr. Khil's apparent confusion. Araposo (talk) 10:44, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Our article Gil list a number of notable "Gils", all of which (other than Gilberto and Nikki) are from Spanish speaking countries. Fribbler (talk) 19:21, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translation incomplete

It should say "I am very glad, because I'm going home", not just glad. --84.190.195.206 (talk) 14:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

why cant I edit this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ololort (talk • contribs) 21:58, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I added the note. But is he very glad because he is going home or back home? KPUFFERFİSHṪ•Ċ 10:54, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong year?

According this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRefK6OyvHU), where Eduard Khil addresses to his fans, the song was performed 1966, not 1976, like it is written in wiki now. Merzmensch (talk) 09:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, according to the subtitles of this video [2], the performance was in 1966, but only "in 1976 this music video appeared, named I am very glad, because I am going home." Then someone put it on Youtube in 2010. Wow. KPUFFERFİSHṪ•Ċ 08:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In 1966, the Soviet TV broadcast in black and white. A lot of TV shows of that period are known but none of them is in color. I don't think this video is a reliable source, they seem to simply take all the information and rumors from the internet. Khil told he sang this song in 1966, indeed there exists a 1968 performance and others, but what we discuss is this video clearly marked with "1976" in the corner. --Yms (talk) 09:54, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes We Canberra

Yes We Canberra aka The Chaser Decides, an Australian TV show, did a parody of Trololo for a few jokes in episode 5. Clip on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYb0Q8qWWac

trol[l[ol[l[ol[l]]]]]

The explanation that a part of trololo's song's popularity, especially in subculture, comes from it similarity to Troll (internet), LOL and trollol/etc was reverted for not having a source. Unfortunately, this is not something that is ever likely to appear in a WP:RS, except perhaps knowyourmeme.com. The song, however, is well associated with trollface - see, for instance this video. It's also common in Internet culture to play on the word lol - see for example lololol, rickrollol, many of the early hits for trollol on Google, and even this example from 2002. I'm not sure how this could ever be backed up by a source, but I feel this should remain in the article in some form. Twp, any suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkSteward (talk • contribs) 20:26, November 1, 2010

I sympathize with the problem, and I think you're probably right about the linguistic connection between "trololo" and "troll", but I think it's important not to fall into the trap of synthesizing likely-sounding explanations without a reliable source to back up that interpretation. I don't think it's at all implausible that a reliable source can be found that will agree with this interpretation, but until one is found I think it's best to leave it out. —Tim Pierce (talk) 03:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't say that, since it is always used, when you detect a troll, or undermine laughing at someone (the lol and haha-parts while pointing a finger are especially noteable). It was a lucky pick to sing lololol, instead of the usually lalala. But he did picked the "right" words, and the world is a meme richer! Must've been a visionary thing!
79.254.48.59 (talk) 00:35, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check Urban Dictionary. Trolololo is often used to call out a troll in online forums or chat rooms, IE someone says something which is clearly trolling, others respond with "trolololololol". There is definitely a connection. Both Oh Internet and Encyclopedia Dramatica (mirror article) acknowledge this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.85.183 (talk) 01:52, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Khil"?!

Theres no "K" in his name! Ето Хил! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.54.123.82 (talk) 20:03, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Kh" is one way of writing Cyrillic "Х": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Russian#Transliteration_table Ijxcca (talk) 02:15, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The correct way of transliterating between different alphabets is transliterating sounds, not letters. Russian "Х" is pronounced the way "KH" is in English. English "H" is almost not pronounced at all, which is very different from russian "Х". In English "KH" there is no "K" sound. This confusion is the source for the Russian accent of English pronounciation. Those Russians who are bad English-speakers tend to pronounce English "H" as "KH", because it is unusual for Russians to leave almost unpronounced a consonant at the beginning of a word. They also pronounce English "K" in front of other consonants, which is never pronounced in English. СЛУЖБА (talk) 11:20, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]


His name is a form of the Spanish Gil.

There is no K in his name.

The only ways you can write his name are Gil, Jil, or Hil.

You're wrong. There's nothing bad with the "Kh". twitter.com/YOMALSIDOROFF (talk) 06:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That WASN'T Khil doing his voice. Not sure why the article lists it as a cameo appearance. Do your damn homework, kids. --166.250.0.113 (talk) 05:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Trolololo origins

As reported by the singer in his interview on some Russian news (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3226q5Yhuo&feature=related), the song original said "Lalalalalala" and not "Trololololo". The name "Trolololo" is most likely a combination of other two memes, "lolololol" (one way of saying "lol") and "troll". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pepeypapas (talk • contribs) 08:28, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Can someone change the reference to Hungarian singer János Koós? The link is broken, here's another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kBWg8Qleco 213.181.197.122 (talk) 15:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Arkady Ostrovsky's son, Mikhail, gives another version of the vocalise story"

Actually, this appears to be the first and only version of the vocalise story in this article. i assume something significant has been removed, but shouldn't we either put it back in or at least tighten up this prose? tomasz. 16:31, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first story appears to come after the second story. Both stories give the impression that the song was altered either because or allegedly because of offending lyrics in the original, but then we are presented with the original lyrics as though it's supposed to be obvious what the offending portions were, yet whatever it was that was supposed to be offensive is completely mysterious. Can someone please do a better job of explaining the situation? —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:55, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Years Active

Shouldn't the 'Years Active' section say 1955-Early 1990s, 2010-2012? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.21.150.28 (talk) 20:46, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Butlins

There was a UK advert that had this song playing in the background. Can it be added somewhere? ~ Tony64 (Talk) 19:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has also been uploaded to the official VW YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fuijhUn0pk

I certainly think this milestone deserves a mention on his Wiki article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.125.27 (talk) 13:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Original Video

Though the news article cited states that the original video was uploaded in 2010, the actual video was uploaded on November 26, 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oavMtUWDBTM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.122.174.11 (talk) 15:58, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Info in wrong field

The sidebar for this article states that the artist's genre is "EMI Music Russia." That's a recording company, not a genre. 98.165.34.119 (talk) 11:20, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Feature in TV show

You can hear arguably his most prominent song (Trolololo Song) featured in the background of a 12 Monkeys episode on the Science channel (I believe) in which Cole, the time traveller pays a visit to Jennifer in a mental institution. As he walks past the main desk, there is the smallest snippet. Need source and technical things, verification, etc. Probably should be added under "Legacy?" Don't know if it's worth adding, just a suggestion. 2602:252:D20:CE30:CCFA:A7AC:70F0:2FFA (talk) 23:11, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: Second episode about 13 minutes into the episode without commercials. Just after North Korea part. Please help! 2602:252:D20:CE30:9AF:8516:9F88:14A7 (talk) 22:59, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
