On 7. October 1997 a children's album was released on the Smekkleysa (Bad Taste ltd) Label: SM76CD. It was made by Gunnar Lárus Hjálmarsson, better kwown as Dr. Gunni. Not a real doctor by the way. He collaborated on the album with a bunch of his musical friends. Inspiration for the album was found on the cassettes with songs for children he made for friends & family @ home while he was a busker in France in the 90s.
Birgir Baldursson (drummer of S.H. Draumur & Bless) played the drums. Guðmundur Pétursson did the guitar solo on "Hr. Rokk og fýlustrákurinn".
The Doktor's featured friends were: Heiða who was singing @ that time with Dr. Gunni in the band Unun, Magga Stína of the band Reptile, rock star/Icelandic Beatle Rúnar Júlíusson, Eurovision enthusiastic & gay pop star Páll Óskar (Paul Oscar) Hjálmtýsson, Skapti Ólafsson, opera singer & sister of Páll Óskar Diddú Hjálmtýsdóttir.
Track nr. 2 became the most famous track: "Prumpufólkið", translated as The farting people.
The lyrics of this track, as well as track nr. 5 "Óli Hundaóli", were written by comedian Jón Gnarr. He is the new mayor of Reykjavik! Jón Gnarr even did the farting sound effects on the album.
Album sold 6500 copies in Iceland.
Recorded by Valgeir Sigurðsson @ his Gróðurhúsið Studio @ Kópavogur @ that time (Greenhouse Studio is now locate @ suburb Breiðholt). This is the first album Valgeir recorded. He was playing (keyboards) together with Dr. Gunni in the band Unun.
