26 August – Light up my path, oh, you lustful old moon

This might seem like I’m plumbing the depths of contests past, but it’s sheer coincidence – honest. Today’s birthday boy might not necessarily have the treat of a song we saw yesterday, but he’s no less noteworthy.

Birthday boy Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson did come last, it’s true. He did sing in that beauty that is the Icelandic language. He did not score a single point. But it’s got a charm all of its own. Maybe it’s the trousers. Maybe it’s Daníel Ágúst’s mate on the piano. Maybe it’s just the arrangement of the song. I like. What do you think?

Daníel Ágúst is 48 today.

Til hamingju með afmælið, Daníel Ágúst!
