Oh, and do I hear a Swede/Icelander complaining that the Norwegians are singing whenever they open their mouths? Yeah, right. 'Cause Swedish and Icelandic isn't singing at all, nooo...

If you want people who don't sing when talking, look to us Danes.
What?

I thought it was generally agreed that German is the most unmelodic of languages!?

No, even Germans agree that Danish is remarkably flat an melody-less. Germans tend to sing just a little bit when they talk too. Even the git with the ghey moustache in your picture.

Ois�n is a Dane so no point in trying to convince him Denmark is lower than Norway on the list

Iceland I will reserve comment on for now but the polls don't look good.

Norway is the most beautiful country in the world followed by Spain.

Sweden... well...

Stereotypingly, I'd say the Swedish work culture comes across as slightly ineffective; endless consensus building and meetings... in my experience.

Perhaps its just the stark contrast with the Finnish, "screw smalltalk, here's the deal"- business attitude

List of Swedish companies

Not too bad for an ineffective and lazy nation is it?
