"Vocalise", also known by the extended title of "I Am Very Glad, As I'm Finally Returning Back Home", is a song written by Russian songwriter Arkady Ostrovsky and most famously recorded by Eduard Khil. The song, specifically Khil's rendition, became an internet meme in the early 2010s, where it was known as the "Trololo Song", nicknamed as such based off of an onomatopoeia interpreted from Khil's nonsensical vocals.
