   Was it really a Eurovision finalist?  Under the wig, I thought it   
   looked a lot like the guy who played the guitarist on the old   
   "Inappropriate Responses Channel" bit from Late Night (and I'm sure a   
   million other sketches too, I just don't know his name).   
      
   One thing I noticed is that it was very similar to a sketch from Mad   
   TV a couple years ago - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqVPmk-Eb8s
