Iceland's first ever entry for Eurovision Song Contest: "Gledibankinn / Gleðibankinn" performed by Icy in Grieghallen, Bergen, Norway 1986. The group Icy consisted of Palmi Gunnarsson, Eirikur Hauksson and Helga Möller. Introduced by Åse Kleveland.
The english version of the song is called "Bank of Fun" and goes like this:
Time just flies away in the age of satellites Faster every day, faster every night Taking too much credit from your account when the day is done Are you maybe drawing too much from the Bank of Fun?
Get up with your feet, tie up boxing hands Just forget the past, you won't lose any friends All the silly things you made in life belong to yesterday What you've gotta do is try and push the blues away
Come on, sing a little song That happiness still hides inside your heart Move out from the shadows, wake up with the rising sun A cheery little tune that makes the walls around you fall apart Come deposit all your blues into the Bank of Fun
Come on, sing a little song That happiness still hides inside your heart Move out from the shadows, wake up with the rising sun A cheery little tune that makes the walls around you fall apart Come deposit all your blues into the Bank of Fun

The song is good. The girl has the best style, besides she´s the most self-confident on the stage. The two men dance in rather a clumsy way. Are these people still popular in Iceland??
That's true srytko :) Eirikur was with the group Just 4 Fun and they song Mrs. Thompson in 1991 :) But before that he was singing with the group Icy :) I'm Norwegian too hehe :) This year Norway and Alexander Rybak will take the whole cake on ESC 2009 in Moscow :)
