Khil became known to international audiences in 2010, when a 1976 clip of him singing a non-lexical vocable version of the song "I Am Very Glad, as I'm Finally Returning Back Home" (Russian: ? ?´???? ???, ???? ?, ??????´?, ????????´??? ????´?, tr.
Ya ochen rad, ved ya, nakonets, vozvrashchajus domoy) became an Internet meme, often referred to as "Trololol" or "Trololo", as an onomatopoeia of the song, or as the "Russian Rickroll", and, as such, the song was commonly associated with Internet trolling.
The song's newfound prominence in Internet culture led him to adopt Mr.Trololo as a stage name.
