Internet meme "Epic Sax Guy" returned to the Eurovision stage with his band, SunStroke Project, representing Moldova with their euro-dance beat song, "Hey Mama." In 2010, Moldovan pop group, SunStroke Project, may have only placed 22 out of 25 countries in the contest, but they sure won the hearts of the internet. Vocalist Sergei Yalovitsky, violinist Anton Ragoza, and saxophonist Sergey Stepanov entered their song, "Run Away" ft. Olia Tira into the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Norway. The internet could not get enough of Stepanov's dance and catchy saxophone melody, making ten hour loops of his segment in the song and memes, his solo becoming known as "Saxroll," which is"Rickrolling" but with the Epic Sax Guy instead. After unsuccessful attempts to enter Eurovision in 2012 and 2015, SunStroke Project managed to attend this year with much better results than the previous. The trio placed in third behind Bulgaria (second) and Portugal (first) with their single "Hey Mama." This time, the Epic Sax Guy plays while doing the running man (Skip to 1:31), working it in the background when Yalovitsky takes center stage on the chorus. So what do you think—which Epic Sax Guy solo is better? And should they return for to Eurovision again, maybe with Robbie Rotten representing Iceland so that it can be a contest between memes?
