The World Of B-Sides & Rarities, #4

We Are Scientists - Hoppipolla

This WAS track is a cover of a Sigur Ros tune, which can be found on their album, Takk. The tune, which roughly translates into 'jumping into puddles', was used in advertisements for everything from the BBC to The World Cup and stands as one of Sigur Ros' most successful singles to date.

The We Are Scientists acoustic cover of 'Hoppipolla' can be found on their B-sides collection, Crap Attack, and was recorded upon a visit to BBC radio in early '06. A La Discotheque describes the cover as 'strangely beautiful' and we happen to agree wholeheartedly.
