Earlier today, musician Mugison enlisted the help of Icelanders to write the lyrics to his latest song, É dúdda mía.
“I had already collected such funny and strange Icelandic phrases in a document on the computer to use in the song – but the document decided to delete itself!” Now I only remember É dudda mía, Hviss Bamm Búmm, Obbossí – can you think of something similar? It’s no worse if you can tell by consumption,” Mugison said in a Facebook post.
299 replies have been written to at the time of this writing and there seem to be a lot of funny phrases in the Icelandic language.
Think it is, aaalveeeeg, say, lieg lieg lái, jamm and well, seisei ja and je minn eini, spinnigal, jahéddnaher and can so svaaaar are some of the suggested sentences.
