You can tell by watching the original video that he knew it was funny then so I'm not sure why anyone was surprised that he was OK with the internet comedy popularity whatever. People thought he was going to be like Coolio when Weird Al did Amish Paradise or something. I'm glad he didn't die before the internet popularity hit. It must have been a nice final gift for him.

It's pretty interesting that the whole reason for the song being so weird is that they were basically winking at the Soviet censors. The whole thing kind of almost makes sense in that context.

The media luvs drama, especially when it involves over-inflated egos.

Reading further he did his thing to poke fun at the Soviet's censorship. Even if people didn't get that joke there is still no way to get around the infectious fun of "Trolololo"...and having it wind up as an earworm as one starts singing along.
It's like the oft-whistled "Colonel Bogey March": My summer campmates and I, back when I was a kid, whistled that while on long hikes. It was just fun! I didn't know the words to it but now I can see how subversive it is, especially after watching "The Bridge On The River Kwai".
Anyway, I can see how happy he was when he later found out that the world heard his song. What better way is there to go out of this life than realizing that most of the wired world knows your song? Even if one doesn't know the story behind the song I can't find any fault in how much silly fun it is. :-)

These were the words I used to always sing back in Boy Scouts...
"Scrotum; it is a piece of skin
Scrotum; it holds your testes in
Scrotum; don't overload'em
Or your scrotum will surely explodum."
Needless to say I always got in trouble, and quite a lot of laughs

Thank you for the second set of lyrics (I already had the WWII set). Now I'll never get that out of my head now! LOL!
