Bubbi Morthens (born June 6, 1956, Reykjavík)), is an Icelandic singer and songwriter.
Born as Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens, "Bubbi" as it is a common nickname for Ásbjörn. Aside from a lengthy solo career, he has been a member of such Icelandic bands as Utangarðsmenn, Egó, Das Kapital, MX-21, and G.C.D.
Morthens recorded his first solo album in 1979, a blend of rock, blues and reggae, and published it the following year as Ísbjarnarblús.
His first important band was Utangarðsmenn (The Outsiders), a punk band that led the new wave movement in Iceland. The band was formed with Michael D. Pollock (Mickey Dean), Daniel Pollock (Dirty Dan), drummer Magnús Stefánsson and bassist Rúnar Erlingsson. Utangarðsmenn gained renown in Iceland by means of extensive press coverage and several gigs, including three at Laugardalshöll, Iceland’s biggest sports arena, where one of the gigs they performed was as supporting band for The Clash. Bubbi left the band after the fourth album, Í Upphafi Skyldi Endinn Skoða in 1981, and the others continued the band with the new name "Bodies".

Genres: Comedy,Wie wöhr't met nem Breef,
en dämm nix als de Sonn sching.
vierundzwanzich karötijem, pure Aujust
met Horizonte wolkelos un blau-blau,
einem janz ohne Bitterkeit,
janz ohne Frust.
Vun einem, dä uptank
endämm'e sich omluhrt
en rosa Brill ahn,
alles opsauch wie 'ne Schwamm.
Ich däät es janz jähn ens versööke,
ob ich sujet övverhaup noch kann.
Ne Breef voll Feijebäum, Zypresse un Pin'je,
nem Huus wie'n Mexiko.
Huh bovven om Birch,
zahnlose Hirte, die schon janz fröh am Morje
all Schoofe'n Zeeje verfluche
un'ner winzije Kirch,
die'n schwazze Oma blitzeblank hällt
un et nie ussjonn löht:
Dat ewije Leech.
Bunte Stöck am Strand,
wo Färv met omjerührt wood,
öm Boote ahnzomohle un'nem Fescherjeseech.
Dä Breef jing ahn dich un ahn die,
vun der'sch su off sing,
die niemals met der Meute bellt,
die suvill anders als suvill andre,
die nix versprich un trotzdem alles hällt.
