There is nothing I can do that would make this video any better.....:-(
Anyhow, this video was first broadcast on Soviet television in 1976 and song by Russian baritone singer Eduard Khil. After retiring from a singing career, Khil slowly faded into obscurity
in his later years. In 2010, Khil reclaimed the spotlight when he became
the subject of the viral "Trololo" Internet meme on YouTube, featuring a 1976 video of a vocalized
version of the song, "I Am Glad I'm Finally Going Home".
Since first uploaded on the net on November 26, 2009; this video has been viewed by over 4,139,000 + times and over 10,000,000 times through dozens of similar videos showing the same 1976 performance.
Here are 100s of funny commentsabout this "Trololo" tune.
In this brief true-life comedy short film, a gentleman who is careless with his forklift in a warehouse full of cases of glass bottles (vodka?) manages to bring the whole lot crashing to the ground with much hilarity!

Miss Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza Pre-pageant Interview - Don't you just love her response to the last question!
Miss Universe 2008 - Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza - Crowning Moment ( in internet HQ video)
Miss Universe 2008: Backstage - After Crowning Moments
As you can see and hear from the pre-event interview, Miss Mendoza is very Latina. Very South American! In the pre-event interview clip, she is very charismatic, playful, and fun loving. In fact, she is from the southern province of Venezuela. She is an Amazonian girl - a real Amazon! If you have traveled to the Amazonian region of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil, the girls from those regions are more "Cliente" and"Cariñosa" than other Latinas....
PS. Observation: Look at the top 10 contestant photo (foto) below. All of them brunettes, no real blonds!?!? Of the top 10, six are Latin girls (4 Latinas from Latin America, 2 European Latins). Of the 4 Latinas, the top 2 are South Americans (Venezuela & Colombia), then one from the Caribbean (Dominican Republic), and the other from North America (Mexico). As predicted by the major bookmakers around the world, the Latinas did a "Trifecta" - Win, Show, and Place! The dominance of the Latinas at world beauty contest (Miss world, Miss Universe, Miss International, & Miss Earth) has been happening for over two decades now.
Interesting, for a world contest held in Asia, no Asian contestant made it in the top 10! Even with the help of a couple Asian judges. Has the standard of "global beauty" been changing over the years? What is considered beautiful now different than it was in the 50s, 60s, and 70s? Why are the Latinas so dominate? Especially the South Americans and Caribbean beauties?
