"Дикі танці" (Dyki tantsi, in English "Wild Dance") is a song by Ukrainian pop-star Ruslana Lyzhichko. Ruslana performed the song at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Turkey. After qualifing from the semi-final, in which it had in fact been narrowly outscored by Serbia and Montenegro's entry "Lane moje", the song turned the tables in the final, and the 280 points it received were sufficient to claim a famous Eurovision victory for Ukraine.
