Featured song: "Iceland"
"Iceland" is a song by Ozma. It is the first track on the 1998 compilation Hear You Me! A Tribute to Mykel and Carli, and the second-to-last on Ozma's demo compilation, Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars.
Daniel Brummel summarized the song on Ozma's official website in 2000 as being about a long-distance relationship in which, quote, "...your only communications with them are through a keyboard." Earlier drafts of the song included the lyric "she screams for ice cream" instead of the chorus, "she left for Iceland." The title of the band's debut album, Rock and Roll Part Three, was taken from this song. The phrase initially spawned as a continuation of English musician Gary Glitter's songs "Rock 'n' Roll Part 1" and "Rock 'n' Roll Part 2".
The song was not performed live in full for over 20 years after June 1, 2001 at the No Future Cafe, but an abridged version has been used as an intro to Domino Effect at several concerts since 2007.
