"Probka" (Russian Cyrillic: Пробка; English translation: Traffic Jam) is a song by Latvian singer Intars Busulis, and was the Latvian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia. The song competed in the second semi-final of the contest on 14 May 2009 but failed to reach the final, having finished last with 7 points. The song is unusually rhythmically complex for a Eurovision song, with the main verse section played in the unusual time signature of 7/4, and constant changes in tempo.

The song was originally performed in Latvian as "Sastrēgums" (Traffic jam),[1] and it was performed in Russian at the contest, held in Russia.[2]
