The finals for the annual Eurovision Song Contest are tomorrow night, and the current favorite to win it all is the Ukraine’s entry, a bit of Europop-folk called “Dancing Lasha Tumbai.” The song is by comedian Andriy Danylko, who performs under the alias Verka Serduchka, a lot of makeup, and a cloud of drag-fueled controversy; we’re still fans of Serebro, but on grounds of pure absurdity, we’re hoping Verka takes the big prize–especially now that Switzerland’s homage to vampires and Meat Loaf has been eliminated.
