The Eurovision website (what, I have it bookmarked, don’t you?) released Russia’s entry for the contest today. And here it is, an anthem to stalking/violent flirtation called “Get You” brought to you by Alexey Vorobyov, Russia’s 23-year-old entrant. Watch Alexey beat the crap out of a bouncer (Moscow residents will recognize the alley where the video is filmed as being outside Masterskaya), dance in an Adidas tracksuit and sing romantic lyrics like “I lost my mind somewhere between your face and your perfect shape.” Umm, good luck Alexey. The contest starts on Tuesday.
