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 satellitesFaster every day, faster every nightTaking too much credit from your account when the day is doneAre you maybe drawing too much from the Bank of Fun?Get up with your feet, tie up boxing handsJust forget the past, you won't lose any friendsAll the silly things you made in life belong to yesterdayWhat you've gotta do is try and push the blues awayCome on, sing a little songThat happiness still hides inside your heartMove out from the shadows, wake up with the rising sunA cheery little tune that makes the walls around you fall apartCome deposit all your blues into the Bank of FunCome on, sing a little songThat happiness still hides inside your heartMove out from the shadows, wake up with the rising sunA cheery little tune that makes the walls around you fall apartCome deposit all your blues into the Bank of FunGet up with your feet, tie up boxing handsJust forget the past, you won't lose any friendsAll those silly things you made in life belong to yesterdayWhat you've gotta do is try and push the blues awayCome on, sing a little songThat happiness still hides inside your heartMove out from the shadows, wake up with the rising sunA cheery little tune that makes the walls around you fall apartCome deposit all your blues into the Bank of Fun
