It is about him being curious to find out how his daughter will "think about things" when she's grown up. For now though she is a baby so he needs to patiently wait for some years.
RosB1988. You sum it up nicely. Great idea, when people hear "baby" often they think about pop rock cliche, but not here with Dadi and Gagnamagnid. Great fun, krútt, cute.
I hope they manage to bring the "nerdy-homely" atmosphere of the video onto the stage in Rotterdam. The video is so funny and has become quite popular in Germany even before Daði og Gagnamagnið qualified for the final.
They are called in a straight translation Daði (Dathi) and the gigabyte. They are awesome peeps with such great nerdy humour singing about Daði's child. They told everyone to vote from the heart and we all did. Go! Daði og gagnamagnið! GO ICELAND!!
Gagnamagn means Data amount directly translated or amount of data, it can be a megabyte, terabyte or gigabyte. we call gigabyte just gígabæt, said the same way just with icelandic characters
this song is smart, funny, well written and beautifully staged. its so much more than a lol fest and has such a cool rhythm......beware Iceland! I sense a winner
Love love this.. in this day and age of all the bad things that happen around us, this song and group are so uplifting, puts a smile on your face. Good luck in Eurovision, you have my vote. Thanks for the smiles....again Love the song!!!!
this proves that countries need to take risks to do well just like last year Iceland has brought somthing out of the box and diffrent look is it my winner : no but i think that it will get A LOT of televotes and the juries will get ths because its a diffrent genre instead of generic pop songs and thats why this will stand out so good job Iceland and please continue this trend of sending somthing diffrent because your time to win eurovision is coming soon , goodluck Iceland from The Netherlands .
I still prefer his song „Is this Love?” from 2017 when he lost to Svala. But I loved this song since they were released. Hatari were my winners last year, this Will be in my top 10. ❤️
The song is about his daughter and even he didnt saw her yet (outdated now :D ), he wants to know what she will think about things and live... the backup singers are actually his wife and his sister (so basically family band) :D and they are trying to go for whole "game" characters, like old videogames
For anyone wanting to learn some of the choreography, here's Daði and Árný teaching it. In Icelandic, but easy to follow. facebook.com/watch/?v=227192002005809
DAW-thee o* KA*-nah-Mock-nith Th as in "that" (not "thin"); The G/K sound is in-between an English G and K - unvoiced like a K, but unaspirated like a G. * is like an "H" in the back of the mouth, due to a constricted throat. "Gagnamagnið": Gögn = data; magn = quantity; -ið = the; Lit: "the data quantity", but more figuratively, it's like "The Data Usage" / "The Data Limits", like on your cell phone plan :) While others have pointed out, the song is wondering what his infant daughter will think about things in the future. What the bad is about... they're just adorkable. Friends and relatives nerding out together. Real Napoleon Dynamite vibe :)
Honestly, I thought this year's songs would all be either boring and generic but I'm pleasantly surprised by this one. I love it and has obviously snatched the top1
@@Me.ddddddddddddd Absolutely. The reaction in Germany, Denmark and Twitter across Europe is really big. It's trending. You NEVER see that for a Eurovision song this early.
I'm really disappointed by this. I saw the semi-final performance which was in Icelandic & I loved it, but the translation ruins it for me. The lyrics don't fit the style or choreography at all
JoeyD2395 I’m Icelandic and I didn’t like the Icelandic version at all. XD It’s WAY better in english and it totally fits their style and choreo. It’s supposed to be dorky. XD
The English lyrics came first (and are about his infant daughter) the Icelandic lyrics was some "nonsense thrown together in 5 minutes" to comply to Söngvakeppnin rules

Iceland is bringing the 80s back and I'm here for it!
Russia radio xit Retro fm.

Iceland is showing off that 'weirdness' is new cool.... I absolutely love this....
My 12 points? Maybe, I'm very happy, I love this song! Good luck and greetings from Italy to Iceland!
Fun, unique, dancey, and loaded with talent. This song encapsulates everything I love about music and live performances.
This and Lithuania has my number one spot right now. Both are so fun, catchy, unique in their own way and has a really nice stage show.

Out of the 2 "quirky" entries so far: I prefer Iceland over Lithuania.

This man's obsession with emoji's is a truly fascinating thing.

You love everyone. You are such a happy guy. I'm waiting to see your goose bumps.
I was on the conserthall and i got a selfie with him

The pictures on the sweaters and backgrounds are pixelated images of the people in the band .... so each one is wearing a picture of themselves ❤️

I really like this ...
1. Germany

3. Australia

It’s about his daughter and he is singing about what they’re going to do when she gets older
that could be a "trash act" - but it isn't .....the song is weird and lovely at the same time - could be a bop !
My 3rd favourite by far. I like this. Good luck in Rotterdam.
This year is proof that National finals work! All the faves had one e.g ISL, NOR, LIT, ROM. Do you agree?
It's prounounced Dathi oh gah•gn•ah•mah•gnith
DAW-thee o* KA*-nah-Mock-nith
Th as in "that" (not "thin");
The G/K sound is in-between an English G and K - unvoiced like a K, but unaspirated like a G.
* is like an "H" in the back of the mouth, due to a constricted throat.
"Gagnamagnið": Gögn = data; magn = quantity; -ið = the; Lit: "the data quantity", but more figuratively, it's like "The Data Usage" / "The Data Limits", like on your cell phone plan :)

Hatari was yours and your Mum's favourite? A biggest like thumb just for that 😊

Absolute favorite so 🏆🥇 from 🇩🇰❤️

I adore this song!!!
I like this makes me happy watching
Litouwen and iceland are so Nice this year

Honestly, I thought this year's songs would all be either boring and generic but I'm pleasantly surprised by this one. I love it and has obviously snatched the top1

Infantilism, for children's Eurovision just. Booooring
I really don't like this, not sure it will qualify for finals.
I think it'll finish the final in the Top 3.
