Khil’s newly famous I Am So Happy To Finally Be Back Home was originally recorded more than 40 years ago.

Khil was born Sept. 4, 1934, in Smolensk and suffered a stroke earlier this year.

Bury him in irradiated ground, who knows what meme will spawn after a few years.

It’s a quote from a famous poem.
“High Flight” by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
“Trololo guy” the meme is perfect example of something that makes perfect sense with context, but seems absolute nonsense when experienced outside of it. We wouldn’t bat an eye about Louie Armstrong or Cab Calloway scatting, or Disney making up supercalafragilisticexpialidocious, or the Beatles ending “Hey Jude” with 60 “nas,” but when Khil does it he looks almost like he had a stroke.
this still makes me smile
