With four days to go before the Irish entry for the Eurovision is revealed, Iceland's song has taken social media by storm with a track about growing up called Think About Things.
With a video featuring the kind of people who might turn up in Napoleon Dynamite or University Challenge, the quirky electro pop tune has gone viral online, with some pundits already suggesting that it will be the winning entry for this year's contest, which takes place in Rotterdam on May 16.
They look and act like the winning team of University Challenge and I'm living for it. This is bonkers but amazing! #ESC2020 #Iceland https://t.co/3saNskuJt6
