Talk:Hoppípolla

my edit

'hoppípolla' is icelandic, not hopelandic. hopelandic is just nonsense phrases strung together. to translate anything from hopelandic, as the article purported to do before, is therefore impossible.

What you said is not strictly true, though the claim it's supporting is. Nonsense can still be translated word for word into other languages: "throwing yesterday the waited blue of" is "lancement hier du bleu attendu de" in French, still gibberish.

The reason Hopelandic can't be translated, though, is that Hopelandic is a made up language consisting of nonsense words. -BlackTerror 18:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

ITV1 and The X Factor

The song is sometimes featured on The X Factor, for a finalist's reel before they perform. Is this of use in the article? Cipher ^(Yell) 22:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I noticed this couple of weeks ago, its used with Carmina Burana as well. I think it should be included in the [XFactor] article if there's gonna be some sort of soundtrack listing 82.47.148.117 14:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

more band members in video?

This is more a thought than anything, but if Jonsi was the shopkeeper that got robbed and Kjartan was the guy who had his morning smoke disturbed, shouldn't it follow that the guy who was fixing his bike & had a small bomb go off under him was a band member, too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.17.60.122 (talk) 19:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Covers

I noticed there's no mention of the We Are Scientists cover or others. Is there a reason, or it that it's just no one has done it yet? --Leodmacleod (talk) 20:29, 21 February 2009 (UTC) (I'm an idiot. Pardons __Leodmacleod (talk) 22:22, 23 February 2009 (UTC))

IPA transcription of song title

The correct IPA transliteration of Hoppípolla is ['hɔ^hpip^hɔtla] and not [hopɪːpoouːklaː] as someone transliterated it. If you have any questions please consult the page for Icelandic phonology.

h in initial position = [h]
o before double consonant, short = [ɔ]
pp after a vowel, preaspirated = [^hp]
í unstressed, short = [i]
p before vowel, aspirated = p^h]
o before double consonant, short [ɔ]
ll between vowels = [tl]
a unstressed final, short [a]

Vancouver Olympics Usage

I think that the final sentence in the music video section about the song's usage in the Vancouver Olympics is out of place, but it also would not be appropriate for it to go under the TV/film section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.1.38.178 (talk) 11:29, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Most well known song within its genre

I propose removing "It is considered the most well known song within its genre." as this is both unverifiable (considered by whom?) and meaningless (which single genre does it belong to?). There's something to be said about its wide use on radio and TV, and therefore it's probably fair to say it's very recognisable to the general public at large. Perhaps replace with something along the lines of "It is probably the band's most widely-recognised song due to frequent radio play and use on TV."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexetc (talk • contribs) 12:42, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Removing songs from commercials

With the retail apocalypse, removing songs from commercials is a good thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CodyFinke2019 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
