On the subject of which...  my mate Phil was listening to Sigur Ros the other day - they're an Icelandic band who did the track the BBC are using to promote the current natural history series.

He was marvelling at the meaningful Icelandic lyrics:
Heysátan
Höfðum þau hallí ró
En ég sló
Eg sló tún
Eg hef slegið fjandans nóg
En ég sló
Heysátan
Þá fer að fjúka út
Ut í mó.. (ég dró)
Heyvagn á massey ferguson
Því hann gaf undan
Og mér fótur rann... Andskotann
Eg varð undan
Og nú hvíli hér
Með beyglað der
Og sáttur halla nú höfði hér

Then he read the English translation:
The stack of hay
Had them all calm
But I mowed
I mowed fields
I have mowed f*****g enough
But I moved
The stack of hay
Then begins to blow out the door
Out into the field (I dragged)
A wagon of hey on a Massey Ferguson
'Cause he gave in
And I slipped... f***
I was first
And now rest here
With a folded cap
And now loll my head here, content

Ah, poetry in motion.

Lostboy:
It must be the effect of all those long dark days they have up there!  :)

I quite liked the Toploader version, although there's a 10x better one made by a member of this Forum for his Music Coursework :D
