The riff comes from Run Away by SunStroke Project and Olia Tira, Moldova's entry at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010. Saxophonist Sergey Stepanov's energetic solo performance was clipped, looped, and shared online, where viewers dubbed him the Epic Sax Guy. Ten-hour loops and countless remixes followed, turning a short Eurovision moment into a lasting internet joke. Its appeal endures because the melody is instantly familiar, upbeat, and easy to drop into almost any triumphant or absurd scene.
