TSiMH without playing
Bjork, so we heard "Amphibian (The Film Mix)" from the excelent soundtrack to
Being John Malkovich (
Amazon). And finally, we finished this episode with another song from the 60's, this one sounds almost indistinguishable from
Combustible Edison, but is 100% Icelandic. It's by
Ellý Vilhjálms and it's called "Sveitin Milli Sanda" and it can be found on a two disc "best of" collection spanning 35 years called
