Nice they added sub titles for the English speaking fans.
That's how I sing every song when I don't know the words.
His head is in the clouds, feet not on the ground, is he lip syncing?
The cat had better choreography.

[M.D. Holloway]

I'm inspired! I wanna go home and jump into the shower and start my own sing along!

This song had lyrics originally but they were too American for the USSR, so they had him take the lyrics out. That still doesn't explain why they just didn't rhyme up some USSR propaganda text instead!

From Wikipedia:

Meaning and the original text of the song

It may be a bit surprising, but the Trololo song originally had words and was an ordinary song. The song itself was a narrative about a cowboy riding a horse to his farm[14][15][16]:

I'm riding the prairie on my stallion, a mustang as such, and my sweetheart Mary now knits a stocking for me, a thousand miles away from here.
Hidden quote in the original language (Russian)

Я скачу по прерии на своем жеребце, мустанге таком-то, а моя любимая Мэри за тысячу миль отсюда вяжет для меня чулок


But the Soviet Artistic Council censored almost all of the song text due to its unsoviet nature. Cowboy and farm were especially criticized. The word cowboy brought to mind associations with saloons and showdowns, and the word farm was controversial because all private, incollective forms of agriculture were prohibited in the Soviet Union. The Commission's verdict was to rewrite the entire song. This created several problems. First, it would take a significant amount of time to rewrite the text and have it approved. There was another problem: other singers were pretending to be the first performers of the song. With no time to spare, Khil suggested singing the song without words, instead vocalizing tro-lo-lo and tra-la-la. This seemed like a good idea as there was nothing controversial or punishable for such a performance.

Evidently it was a song about a cowboy, but the Soviet censors edited all the cowboy related stuff out.

Interesting.
