'The A-Ö of Iceland' is a song that's been dubbed "the hardest karaoke song in the world" and as part of a new tourism campaign, Iceland wants foreigners to familiarize themselves with it for a chance to win a trip to Iceland.
The tourism board's karaoke song is anything but easy to sing along to, as it showcases a number of challenging words from one of the most difficult languages in the world. True to its name, The A-Ö of Iceland works its way through the 32 letters of the Icelandic alphabet, all the while sharing common words and phrases like torfbær, bílaleigubíll and sundlaugar.
Along with the official A-Ö of Iceland karaoke video, Iceland's tourism board also shared a video depicting tourists with their best attempts at singing along.
