}} "Hoppípolla" ((:ˈhɔʰpipʰɔtla), "Hopp í polla" is Icelandic for "Hopping into puddles") is a song by Icelandic band Sigur Rós from their 2005 album ''Takk...''. It was released as the album's second single on 28 November 2005. The lyrics are mainly in Icelandic, with some nonsensical phrases, a "language" the band calls Vonlenska ("Hopelandic"). Written with spaces, the song's title would be "Hoppa í polla" (the "—a" in "hoppa" is not pronounced). As with many of the band's songs, it was given a nickname in the early stages of writing. "Hoppípolla" was "The Money Song", as the band was certain they had written a song which would have commercial success. It is the band's most successful single, charting at #24 on the UK Singles Chart in May 2006. It is considered the most well known song within its genre. The single also features "Með blóðnasir", an instrumental coda to "Hoppípolla", which is also featured on ''Takk...''; and a studio remake of "Hafssól", a song previously released on the band's 1997 debut album, ''Von''. The title appears as "Hafsól" on the single. ==Use in film and television== "Hoppípolla" was used in 2006 advertisements for the BBC's ''Planet Earth'' TV series, giving the band one of its rare exposures to a mainstream audience. When Sir David Attenborough received his National Television lifetime achievement award, the piece was used for the moving anthology of his work, made especially for the occasion. Following this, there has been a high demand for the single, which has led to a re-publishing of the commercial version in May 2006, distributed by EMI. The re-release of the single brought critical acclaim for the band in the mainstream music media, including being named Jungalist Single of the Week on 1 May 2006. The song was used in the closing credits of the BBC's coverage of the 2006 FA Cup final, and BBC News 24 also used it to promote their coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The BBC also used it as background music to a rousing montage of England games during the World Cup and as a trailer for live BBC coverage of further England games. The song was also featured in the ''Doctor Who Confidential'' episode "End of an Era". The BBC have also used this song in a Holby city episode China In Your Hands, as Joseph leaves the hospital. Munster Rugby in Ireland also used the song in the closing scenes of their historic win in the 2006 European Rugby Final as part of the "Glory Glory Munster DVD" Besides its repeated use by the BBC, the song was used in the ''Children of Men'' and ''Slumdog Millionaire'' trailers, for the ending of the film ''Penelope'', and for Oxfam and Viasat advertisements.
