Thanks for the comments! :-)

Also be sure to check out the high-quality clip if you haven't yet (link posted in the Info section to the right). The audio is a million times better (and in stereo!)

Sigur Rós probably LOLed so hard while watching this.

[Finnguala]

I like it too! I love your singing very much, and I really like how you translated (for want of a better word) the lyrics. Well done :3

[motifontheback]

lmao i enjoyed this thoroughly. <3 !!

crazy story. i've had this song on my itunes, untitled, for months and couldn't figure out what song it is or who sings it is. not realizing it wasn't in english, the only words i could make out is "christ is stronger" and i googled that phrase and found this video. the wonders of the internet! thanks for identifying the song for me, finally!

i know Icelandic and yet I still find this funny! yes ourlanguage is very weird and hard to pronounce. a lot of time when certian words come together you have to slur and it's weird.

good job teaching the Englishfolk how to sing this song!

[hihoware888]

the cultures developed and developing do you mean go experience some culture there's a lot of egotistical maniacs bashing each other on you tube and its sad

[MSDesign87]

Lol, "Oh, Christ is stronger so..."

[OMGAHHxBATMAN]

This is really useful. Now I can sing it. Can't read icelandic and such.. haha :P

[walrussian]

how did you find out that i'm a fag? i can see that your gaydar is working properly fine ;D

anyways, this is damn stupid

go and learn some icelandic...it might help to your brain to be a little bit more smart. and also, to develope some culture.

[heysatan8]

This is funny lol. My favorite was, "Oh, Christ is STRONGER, so..."
