"Regina" comes off Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!, the Sugarcubes' 1989 album, and it's a fine showcase for the band's two-headed vocal attack: Björk soaring and yelping while Einar Örn Benediktsson barks back at her. The whole band shares the writing credit, with Þór Eldon on guitar, Bragi Ólafsson on bass, Margrét Örnólfsdóttir on keyboards and Sigtryggur Baldursson on drums, and Derek Birkett co-produced it with the band, with Brian Pugsley engineering.
