You're probably seeing the performer's name (in the B&W clip), Muslim Magomaev.

For some reason Muslim Magomaev looks like he's been cast in a particularly creepy episode by Rod Sterling... lol...
Now with lyrics!

Wow, a sing-a-long Trololo!
Thanks Dan!
And the trick for posting Youtube links here is to stick the embed code into a notepad editor, and remove all the quotation marks (replace with nothing).
Here goes:

Red Sings the Blues
The last video never fails to crack me up.
It's so lugubriously and genuinely Russian, full of way overblown pathos. I call it, "The Red Sings The Blues", lol.
By the way, I have some Russian ancestry so it's not as if I'm picking on someone else
...
Also, the one before that has "Ed Hill" doing his own version of the moon walk. Hilarious!

And you have to wonder if there's a gun off camera pointed at him the whole time.

I'm So Glad to Be Back Home
The "Trololo" song was originally written with lyrics about a cowboy riding a "mustang" over the prairie, while his wife "Mary" is back home knitting him a pair of socks.
In interviews, the singer, Eduard Hill (Khill) has said that at the time, in the mid-1970's, Soviet authorities would not have allowed such a song to be published. I suppose it's because of the link to American imagery. In any case, they kept the name but made it a "vocalize", which is a song without words.
Hill is still alive and apparently pleased with the sudden popularity of the song and the video, but not really aware that it is more being mocked than admired. In his heyday he also sang opera and received numerous awards from the Soviets. He's also said his last name, which has been written as Gill, Hill, and Khill, is probably of Spanish extraction, as in Gil or Gilberto.
He's also aware of the Christof Waltz parody, and seems ok with it, despite what he calls the "erotic" content, although he notes that the music really isn't the same.
