Led by singer Ilya Lagutenko (Илья Лагутенко), who formed the first version of the band in 1981, as a garage band project in Vladivostok. The band Мумий Тролль was officially formed in 1983. As the Soviet Union collapsed, Lagutenko temporarily left music behind to work in the UK and China (he is fluent in both Mandarin and English). Upon their first proper release, Morskaya (Морская, Nautical) in 1997, the band became hugely popular in Russia. In 2001 they represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest. Since then, the band has gained popularity internationally. They toured in North America with The Agency in 2009.
To date they have released eight studio albums (one being a soundtrack for a movie), and a number of compilations.

Мумий Тролль Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Хочешь ты меня орально.
Почему бы нам с тобою
Не уйти в другую плоскость?
Так бывает не случайно,
Не случайно так бывает,
Словно кто-то что-то знает.
И алее помидора
Губы эти, ярче сливы.
Словно по трубопроводу
Там уходят мои силы.
