The Epic Sax Guy song is actually from Moldova’s entry in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. The song’s real name is “Run Away” and it was performed by the SunStroke Project, featuring the hip thrusting alto sax of Sergey Stepanov.

After the contest, "Run Away" would also become the subject of a major internet meme surrounding the saxophone solos performed by saxophonist Sergey Stepanov who, in a phenomenon similar to Rickrolling and Trololo, was dubbed the " Epic Sax Guy " in videos on YouTube. The internet meme of this song is often associated with Ian McKellen 's portrayal of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring; particularly a moment of joyous laughter, edited to appear if he is dancing his head to the song.
