Eduard Khil Unlikely youtube  sensation dies at the age of 77

MOSCOW Eduard Khil, a Brezhnev-era balladeer who experienced an improbable and unwitting YouTube comeback as  Mr. Trololo, tra-la-lah-ing his way through a song whose lyrics about the American prairie were eliminated because of fears of Soviet censorship, died on Monday in St. Petersburg, Russia. He was 77. The cause was complications of a stroke, Russian state news media said.
