That is the first time I have ever seen the words "autotuned" and "delight" used in the same sentence on Metafilter.

He looks like Homer Simpson after a rave.

I do like the song, though.

Can any Icelandic speakers here confirm whether he is singing "Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid," as I suspect?

I choose to believe all icelandic people look and sound like this.

nyquil nightmare has a fun ring to it but anyone drinking nyquil to get a DXM high is getting a free trip to the hospital. Make sure you're drinking formula's with dextromorphine as the only active ingredient!!

Frankly, I'm wanting until there is a Serbian TurboFolk or Dubsetp remix before I pass judgement?

It's EUROVISION MONTH ON METAFILTER, right?
21, 21, 21 days to go.
I want to be sedated.

Sykur - Curling. No autotune, but lots of awesome makeup. And Iceland. It's my current favorite thing ever.

That is actually a vocoded voice, not an autotuned one, which is a closing of the circle of musical misunderstandings since the days long, long ago when everyone was trying to tell me how great that Cher song with the "vocoder" was.

Also, you shouldn't play a metal keyboard with magnets in your head. Or perhaps he has back spasms. Poor fellow.

I like the "sad alien in an abandoned house" part!
