En by Þeyr [Iceland] -ugh. I'm going to hate this entire series of playlists. This sounds like terrible 80s garage band trash. Best part is that it's not in English so I can't understand the piss poor lyrics.

Lyrics in Icelandic

Ef ég gæti gefið Þér gimsteina og gull Fullt af eðalvínum En ekki þetta sull Sem verður annars ágætt Ef þú smakkar það Í flottu freyðivíni Við færum tvö í bað En þetta bjargast bráðum Því brátt ég sver ég skal Verða mér út um vinnu Við það að skera hval Já kaupið þar er brjálað Þeir þéna djöfull flott Með milljón eftir viku Og hafa það mjög gott En þangað til það reddast Það væri bjútífúl Ef þú mundir lána Mér fyrir einum Kool Svo á ég miða í Sjóvá Það gæti alltaf skeð Ég fengi ferðavinning Þá kæmir þú sko með En þú En þú 2nd & 3rd Verse repeat

If I could give You gemstones and gold Lots of premium wines, But not this piss Which otherwise becomes decent If you taste it. In a nice sparkling wine We two would bathe in. But this will soon be fine Because soon I swear I will Get myself a job Cutting whales Yes the pay there is crazy They make boatloads, Have a million after a week And have it very nice. But until it gets fixed It would be beautiful If you could loan Me to buy one Kool (pack of cigarettes). So I have a ticket in Sjóvá (Lottery) It could always happen (that) I'd win a trip Then you'd, like, come with. But you... But you... 2nd & 3rd Verse repeat

Those are some terrible lyrics...lol

Those are some terrible lyrics...lol

They got worse by being in English / Being translated by me, but yeah (:

Basically a loser promising his girl it'll get better

I got a hate message for trashing Ed Sheeran. Do I win?

Oh wow, someone must really like Ed Sheeran. You should be extra careful and watch your back. Might be a good idea to put cameras in your room to watch you while you sleep. The person most likely won't try to hurt you, if I had to guess they would just draw a penis on your forehead with a permanent marker.

what do you have against instruments spin

music != singing!

I prefer the lyrics in Tedrukkinn, where the singer is near blackout drunk in a bath rambling.

From it:
"But the sun is gone and it matters where the sneakers are bought!"

what do you have against instruments spin music != singing!

I have nothing against instruments. I love a good symphonic or orchestral number. That is some good music.

But this isn't a competition about favorite music. It's favorite song, and to me, songs have lyrics.

and to me, songs have lyrics.

Nothing against instrumentals, but I have to agree with you on that point. :P

Crier Tout Bas by Coeur de Pirate [French-Canadian]
- - - Playlist starts out strong. I really like this song.

En by Þeyr [Iceland]
- - - Decent song. Probably not Top 6 for me though.

Habana by jizue [Japan]
- - - I feel like I'm sitting in a bar somewhere on Cuba or something. Good stuff.

No One Like You by Scorpions [Germany]
- - - Recognized this classic right away. Still holds up.

Punky Reggae Party by Bob Marley & the Wailers [Jamaica]
- - - Another decent song. Not bad, but not my favorite.

I Touch Myself by Divinyls [Australia]
- - - I recognize this song. It's been a while since I've heard it actually. It's still pretty good.

Drive It Like You Stole It by Sing Street [Ireland]
- - - Very good! I think this might be the song I like the most from this group so far.

Perfect Symphony by Ed Sheeran & Andrea Bocelli [U.K./Italy]

Songs I voted for in the order I listened to it:
