Ladies and Gentleman, Verka Serduchka.
I've got to give Verka, Ukraine's beloved cross-
dressing pop star, credit for the winning song of the night, a clever play on the strangely uninspiring sentiment that is the title and refrain of the Ukrainian national anthem: "Ukraine is not dead yet." Doesn't that just make you want to get up and fight?
Not dead yet, everyone!
False alarm.
So Verka adds, "Ukraine is Not Dead Yet if we can DANCE like this." Um tzah um tzah um tzah tzah. Young and old - at the birthday party that I just got home from - everyone could agree to get up and shake it to that.
All this talk about Verka just makes me excited for Eurovision. It's coming up so soon!
Ok, one more. Here Verka accuses you of getting "drunk as a pig."
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems Ukraine's not quite dead yet.
