" Minn hinsti dans " ( English translation : " My Final Dance " ) was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 , performed in Icelandic by Paul Oscar , a former drag queen ( although the song was performed by Paul merely wearing some eyeliner ) who raised many eyebrows in Iceland with his artistic creations before . The song is sung from the perspective of a man who has lived a hedonistic life - " Crystal champagne , pearls , porcelain/Diamonds for dinner , love for dessert " - and who appears to be either giving this lifestyle up or preparing to die ( the lyrics are unclear on this point ) . He sings , however , that " I never regret a thing , never regret " . The performance involved both Paul and his female dancers performing kinky gestures and adopting sexually suggestive poses
