"Dancing Lasha Tumbai" (Ukrainian: Денсінґ Лаша Тумбай) is a song written by Ukrainian comedian Andriy Danylko and recorded by him in his drag persona Verka Serduchka. It represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, held in Helsinki.
The original title was simply "Danzing", but it was changed due to a controversy about the lyrics. The song includes lyrics in four languages: German, English, Russian, and Ukrainian.
