The performance that brought the world the "Epic Sax Guy," this entry from Moldova was all sorts of weird. Violins from Tron, a singer from The Fifth Element, and time-travelling haircuts, "Run Away" still has me baffled.

Their styling was taken straight from the late 80s or early 90s. Don't get me wrong, that's my time period, but it still seemed out of place on the Eurovision stage. The saxophone player's unique look and enthusiastic thrusting became a popular meme in 2010. That's right, this was the year ESC went viral! Thanks Moldova!
