Context

In the film, the song is first sung by Fire Saga during the Söngvakeppnin, the Icelandic pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Their performance had gone wrong due to Lars (Will Ferrell) falling as he and Sigrit (Rachel McAdams) were being lifted from the stage. The song was then sung again during the semi-finals for the Eurovision Song Contest. It initially went well, but as Sigrit approached the hamster wheel her scarf got stuck in the spinning and made it fall off its axis, causing both Lars and Sigrit to be driven off the stage along with it. After they fall off, they get back up and finish the song to a dumbfounded audience.
