Hit of the Day: Iceland 1986
The first Icelandic entry ever was Gleðibankinn or Bank Of Fun in English. In 1986 the wonderful island in the north could sing about banks, these days they are trying to stave off angry airplane companies due to a teeny weeny volcano thingy.
Iceland was finally able to enter this year because they finally got their satellite communications up and running so they could vote live in the final. At the close of voting, it had received 19 points, placing 16th in a field of 20.
It remains one of my favourite Icelandic entries, the outfits however are another story
