Then again, neither is Denmark. I always prefer speaking of the Nordic countries to Scandinavian countries. Iceland’s not a part of the Scandinavian peninsula, no. Then again, neither is Denmark.

I remember an interview Björk explaining this exactly: This was referring to the Scandinavian countries like Denmark that had Iceland under their thumb for so many years, trying to organise the free people of Iceland! So Björk is actually singing: How stupid of me to think I could organise freedom! (Not how 'icelandic' of me to think I could organise freedom) Whether Iceland is part of Scandinavia is (at least) not totally agreed on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia Declare Independence!

I like Ellen Degeneres humor better. she made a really funny joke about scandinavia when she was doing behind the scenes takes for her international promos, you can see it on her show's video gallery under behind the scenes and international promos. cracked me up. but it doesn't mention iceland, so maybe it's not really funny for you... she just pokes fun at denmark, norway and sweden. she cracks me up though. like side-stitch laughter that hurts it's that funny, where you start to tear in the corners of your eyes. I keep wishing Bjork would go play on Ellen Degeneres instead of Conan or Jules Holland or whatever. Maybe when you guys are on the west coast, because Ellen is in so.cal. ...what is it Burbank? dunno. but she's great. she has the spirit of play down pat. she dances in every show and she gets these old ladies in the audience to want to dance too, ...to like Justin Timberlake, or whatever hip hop stuff. it' so great. yeah, sorry, I'm rambling about something totally not on topic.... thanks hildigunnar, so I guess it’s just a rumor, or a little myth about the petrified puffin.. ;) yeah, I got the joke about the cat. mildly funny, I guess…
