He fronted a Danish boy band too, you know: Harald Melvin and the Viking Blueteeth.
“If You Don’t Know Me By Now”? They liked to cover that a capella when pillaging villages.

Well, *he* had Bluetooth. He also had a Blackberry, but alas, it was an *actual* blackberry.

The wireless technology known as "Bluetooth" was named for Harald. Wikipedia: The word "Bluetooth" is an anglicized version of the Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann, (Old Norse blátǫnn) the epithet of the tenth-century king Harald Bluetooth who united dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom and, according to legend, introduced Christianity as well.
