"???i ????i" (Dyki tantsi, in English "Wild Dance") is a song by Ukrainian pop-star Ruslana Lyzhechko. 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.

With a mixture of English and Ukrainian lyrics, "Dyki tantsi" had the distinction of becoming the first Eurovision winner to be sung at least partly in a language other than English since the rule-change of 1999, when countries were freed from the restriction of having to sing in one of their own official languages.
