(PNS reporting from Москва) Stepping in to fill an entertainment lineup devoid of anyone artistic, famous, or beloved, Donald Trump backer Vladimir Putin is sending his country’s top singer to perform at next week’s Inauguration Ball.
Eduard Anatolyevich Khil (Эдуа́рд Анато́льевич Хиль), known worldwide as the Trololo Guy after his biggest hit (video, above, with lyrics), died in 2012 but has been preserved as a animatronic singing corpse by the Russian Academy of Lysenkoism, with help from the heroic comrades at Lenin’s Tomb.
“We enjoy his music bigly,” Trump Tweeted after the Kremlin announced the booking. “Russia is sending us their best.”
