Iceland ic entry in theEurovision Song Contest 1996 , performed in Icelandic by Anna Mjöll.The song deals with the global currency of popular music. Anna Mjöll asks her listeners if they remember such performers as
Louis Armstrong ,Frank Sinatra ,Elvis Presley andBillie Holiday . She sings that they all sang (or perhaps inDizzy Gillespie 's case, played) "Shoobe-doo". This sound, she sings, can be understood "from Skagaströnd [a small town in western Iceland] toTimbuktu ".The song was performed nineteenth on the night (following
Finland 's Jasmine withNiin kaunis on taivas and precedingPoland 'sKasia Kowalska withChcę znać swój grzech... ). At the close of voting, it had received 51 points, placing 13th in a field of 23.It was succeeded as Icelandic representative at the 1997 Contest by
Paul Oscar withMinn hinsti dans .
