Hoppipola: looking at things from a different angle

I was trading YouTube clips the other day with my friend from school John Whyte (programmer extraordinaire with Rockstar Studios)   and I fired through this clip of the video for Hoppipola by Sigur Ros. The first time I saw this video I could not believe how it made the hairs stick up on the back of my neck. Packed with pathos and humour it inverts our normal view of life to some degree and looks at age and behaviour from a somewhat leftfield.

I love things like that: a little different, creative, not the norm but most interesting! Hoppipola should be the anthem for the Consolarium.

Excellent! It reminds me of a Python sketch - Hell's Grannies - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygy7UDADXDg

Thanks for the link.
I have the CD but the first time I have seen any video by Sigur Ros.
No when you say it should be the anthem for the Colorarium, does that mean you see yourself in the video?

Yeah Ian, the collander hat would suit me and no doubt I'd get the bloody nose! Nevertheless, even at 39 chickanelly (chap door run in the west coast) still seems an attractive proposition. ;-)
