Our first song and one Iceland holds close to its heart to this day. You won't believe how crushed we were when we only came 16th, so sure were we of victory. We have had way more successful entries since, but "Gleðibankinn" is and remains a classic that everyone in Iceland knows.
I was also convinced that Iceland would win, I remember betting on this song and was so disappointed that it didn't win... not the last time Iceland has been robbed of victory!
I love love love this icelandic song! Should have been a top 3 placing!!! 🇮🇸🇩🇰🇮🇸🇩🇰🇮🇸
Definitely. ^^ Should've been a joint winner with Belgium and Sweden. Amazing song. @Morten
I know all the lyrics and I'm not even Icelandic
This song and performance were ahead of their time. Anyway they deserved a better place.
They never deserved to go to Eurovision though, ok song though. Massive legend the song that came second in the competition to represent Iceland, "Eg lifi í draumi". Legendary song. Nobody like his Gleðibankinn song really, but it is known to Icelanders because of it was Iceland's first Eurovision song. Look up "Eg lifi i draumi". Legendary, made in 1986 and still sounds awesome.
This is my fav song of the year but I wouldn't call it ahead of its time. It's pretty typical 80s
I don't know why but the choreography and their stage chemistry makes me feel like they are all best friends who sometimes bang when they're drunk, but they're all cool about it afterwards, and I mean that in a good way
This made me laugh so much!! 😂😂😂
I always scored the Eurovision and gave this 12. I was astonished it did so badly. So catchy. I found it looking and it's as good as ever. I can't understand why this didn't do better.
I love this song. Wonderful entry. Still listening to it in 2018.
my country was and will be the very first country to give (5) points to Iceland.
So what's ur country
@@puZZy14 the Netherlands
Love that song!
86 was such an outstanding music year that this song was "only" average ... costumes, hairstyles, great tunes ... ah, nostalgia!
I have live in Iceland 3 years the best country in the word
This theme was the best that year. The most original, nice and armonical, with a great performance. I haven,t ever understood how was so underrated (16th place). Shameful injustice. I,m proud that my country Spain was who more points gave to Iceland that year (6 points in only total 19 points).
19 actually, but thank you Spain all the same!
I think Eirikur still lives in Norway even though it is some years ago I saw him on TV, when he walked together with his friends in Oslo :) To years after he and the other from Icy, who performed and song Gleðibankinn in ESC in Norway in 1986 in 1988 Eiríkur Hauksson, which is the name of the metal band singer he have lived in Norway since 1988 and still does :) You can read about him here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eir%C3%ADkur_Hauksson
Mullet man reappeared singing in 1991 singing another fab tune for Norway.
and again in 2007 for Iceland with something rather different!
Best song from Eurovision 1986 and from Iceland.
Its a Debut for Iceland! Not the best song!
@@henrikasatryan3908 It's their debut but it's also their best song.
Still listening to it in 2020
Wonderful.
Very cute and unique. Good and meaningful lyrics compared to crappy these days. Generally Iceland always seems to have some meaningful lyrics. Orchestra should have been louder! its a nice arrangement on studio version. Much better then many Icelandic entries later on. Quite evergreen.
Bank Of Fun lyrics in English here :
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 Get up with your feet, tie up boxing hands Just forget the past, you won't lose any friends All those 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
ty but i think it's the bank of joy
@@nicoledickson6099 Pretty much the same thing
Iceland 12 points,de lo mejor de 1986
Die Clochardhosen der Burschen: so ein Ding hatte ich seinerzeit auch in meiner Garderobe. ;-)
I think he is talking about the sound mix of the orchestra. You can not hear the keyboard part which is quite important to the song. And also the strings and brass part are very low in the mix. And the orchestra as a whole is mixed to low compared to the vocals.
escLIVEmusic1 no he is singing abote bank i am icelandig so i know wat the are singing abote and the song name is gleðibakinn so its obvious its a bank
@@benjamingumundsson3223þú skrifaðir gkeðibankinn ekki rétt
@@benjamingumundsson3223 I was answering another question below about the sound mix of the orchestra. I did not refer to the lyrics at all.
I was always wondering whether was accidental or intentional when camera rolls to the blond singer while he stares somewhere in the ceiling at 2:18. By the way, this was in my favorites. IMO, 1986 was one of the best in ESC.
86 and 83 were the best eurovisions in history, change my mind haha
he is a ginger not a blond
@@beautifulflowersafterhours Now, this is what I call a helpful and substantial comment.

Pretty underrated placing considering how weak 1986 was in terms of entries. This winning the contest was a bit of a stretch, but it deserved at least a top 10. It was definitely a very good debut entry.
No comprendo la letra de la cancion , pero los cantantes son muy lindos y muy simpaticos tambien.
Es una canción optimista y alegre. La traducción de la letra es "Banco de Diversión.
If I have my own country that competed for Eurovision and gave 12 point to a country it would have to be Iceland
This should have won...
What mix?
Did they have synthesizers in the orchestra?
yes, they had.
why there is a tv where the conductor is standing?
Probably a monitor to see how the performance looks without him having to constantly turn around
When I listen to this, I realise how baroque the 80’s were …

Maggi mx er guð
Forfallakennari Skólastjórason nei reyndar ekki
Can someone translate this into English? I liked this first song from Iceland.
too bad they forgot to change the mix before the performance
glleðibankinn er fjörugt og skemmtilegt lag ja og storkostlegt lag og goðir og finir söngvarar eirikur hauksson helga möller og palmi gunnarsson og gaman að sja hvað þau njota sin og eru i stuði og gaman
This is what the song sounded like in the national selection: czcams.com/video/qJEWUm4bZI4/video.html
Upvote if Channel 5 brought you here...
sandra kim :)
HA HA HA
Haha ha
🤣🤣🤣...so hilarious...🤣🤣
Why?
Un debut un poco raro y retro pero no está mal. Calificación: 6,75/10
silly song
also didn’t eiríkur (the ginger) kinda cheat his way in?
kinda because he didn't win in the national selection he was just chosen as a singer because they didn't want to the actual singer to sing :/
If this is the first song Iceland sent to Eurovision, it's not surprising they never won... lol
