"Þú og þeir (Sókrates)" (English translation: "You And They (Socrates)") was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, performed in Icelandic by Beathoven.

The song deals with the singer's idols, many of whom are European composers such as Debussy and Tchaikovsky. A number of Icelandic people are also named, such as Gunnar Thoroddsen and Einar Benediktsson - even a strongman contest winner. Special praise, however, is reserved for Socrates, "The Hercules of the soul".

The song was performed first on the night (preceding Sweden's Tommy Körberg with Stad I Ljus). At the close of voting, it had received 20 points, placing 16th in a field of 21.

It was succeeded as Icelandic representative at the 1989 Contest by Daníel Ágúst with "Það sem enginn sér".
