/ netflixuk
Two small-town singers chase their pop star dreams at a global music competition, where high stakes, scheming rivals and onstage mishaps test their bond. - Zábava
Glad we’re all here because this song unironically slaps.
This movie is an all around treasure.
Wtf does slap mean...!?! What is up with making up new meaning for words.....🙄🙄
nah. he hit his peak with the red hot chili peppers
@@anthonylawson518 slap is the sensation you get when you get Taco Bell when you're drunk af.
@Aischylos Lowell Don't dare him. lol
This song makes me so proud to be Islandic, and I'm French.
oh mood and im australian
same!!!! this movie made me a very very proud Icelandic!!! (except that I'm brazilian.... LOL)
And the fact that I spelled "Icelandic" wrong and you still liked my comment means that you are gentle people.
@@biathefirst Você tem razões para ser orgulhoso também 😊
@@vogelmeister6809 talk about an island of wonders 😊
This jaw-dropping song was the finale to the same movie where a banker was murdered by an elf and Will Ferrel rode across a stage in a giant hamster wheel.
Just another Eurovision Song Contest then where anything can happen 😆
I know! Isn't it amazing?
It way precious! 🤗
there really was a man in a hamster wheel on stage during a eurovision song, Will said he took the idea from there LOL
Lol
The fact that this song would actually whoop ass at Eurovision is really the icing on the cake like this is at least a top five finisher
I kind of have to disagree here. Don't get me wrong - in my opinion this song is better than basically anything we've seen in the actual ESC for years. But that's kind of the point. I don't expect simple yet beautiful ballads in the ESC. I expect ridiculous stuff with a flashy show like Double Trouble. That would have fit pretty well into the actual contest.
@@bergerle Serious music goes into the Eurovision too.
@@bergerle it's not just that: it breaks Eurovision's three-minute rule. The San Remo festival - the winner of which represent Italy at Eurovision - does not impose this requirement. Many winners clock in at 3:30-3:45 and have to be compromised for ESC.
I'd be happier to allow up to four minutes for each song and save the added 25 minutes by cutting down on egotistical co-presenters. They waste so much time.
@Tobias Berger Nah, music is an international language. Look at the effect it has on random people just from a movie. It'd smash in an actual contest.
@@bergerle check the views and reassess your opinion.
This song completely changed everyone's nationality to Icelandic.
Norways better 😁
Iceland is one of the best countries in Eurovision
Still sung by Molly Sandén. Swedish fire and ice brought this to life ;-)
I feel it
Yes! It’s a great song indeed
The ones who disliked are the people at the pub in Husavik who just wanted to hear "Ja Ja Ding Dong" instead.
Hahaha yes ❤️
I ONLY WANT TO HEAR JAJA DING DONG!
*PLAY IT!*
HEY. There’s nothing wrong with Jaja Ding Dong! Play it again!
PLAY JA JA DING DONG!
IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH!
“where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls, where the whales can live cause they’re gentle people” makes me cry everytime
Me estremece hasta la médula, vibro con cada nota musical 🥰
Gives me “chillys” every time I hear it ☺️
I love that line but it's particularly funny since people in Iceland eat whales lol.
Gives me the chillys and well up. Whenever it doesn’t at least do one, I know at that moment I’m dead inside.
Me too, I get so teary eyed.
Probably one of the best original songs in a comedy movie
Or one of the best songs in any movie. I honestly can't remember any others - but this one makes me cry every time.
Boats and Hoes is a close second
@@ChrisLHommedieu Never been enough from the Greatest Showman is very alike.
@@damainmgGreat song: true. Movie comedy: ??
"Scotty Doesn’t Know" from Eurotrip is #1
This song makes me feel homesick for Iceland, and I've never been there..
This comment is underrated
Lol I had a wonderful taxi driver that drove me to the elves caves for free that took 2hoirs just to showcase thier culture. Beautiful
I'm black and I'm like... can I be Icelandic?!?! please. I'm wanna go there. Let's go!
Couldn't have put it any better!
Lol
I ONLY WANT TO HEAR JAJA DING DONG!!!!
Ding dong!
Ja ja!
PLAY IT!!!
[JA JA DING DONG INTENSIFIES]
NOW!!!!!!!!!
My daughter was studying Biology and lived for a year in Husavik. She always cries when she hears this Song.
she's so lucky to have lived in husavik :')
I never studied Biology or lived anywhere near Husavik, and I cry when I hear this song, lol.
Me too!!!
I have no relations to Iceland, I don't even know anyone who's from there, but I cry every time I hear this song.
Like they say in Husavik: jaja ding dong
I always tear a little bit when they realize she's singing about Husavik and Iceland.
It's like, hey, someone cares about us
I want to visit Hisavik now it seems like and amazing place
This is such an emotional moment, because the whole film is about how frustrated everyone is because of being dissatisfied with what they have and wa ting something bigger and better. So the climax comes with a revelation about how they had what they need all along, and not only that, but they forego their chance at winning the contest to broadcast to the world how much they love their town that the rest of the world forgot about.
It's layers on layers and it's so well-earned.
i tear up and im not even from iceland
There there
I'm part icelantic 😢
As a Filipino man fluent in Spanish and born in the United States, I've never been more proud to be Icelandic.
You are so damn funny
Factz 😂😂😂

Play IT!!!!
2 years later.. Petition for a sequel. I have watched this movie for unhealthy amount of times 🤣 I think everybody can agree with me that we need a sequel. Lars and Sigrit needs to win the Eurovision
Wouldn't make any sense since the same artists cant be in Eurovision more than once. Its against the rules
It could be about junior eurovision
@@jellyduck4249 it is not!

I keep telling my girlfriend that I can't wait to go back to my hometown in Husavik once the travel restrictions are lifted.
She keeps reminding me that I'm Singaporean.
I don't need this negativity in my life.
I’ve been to 150 countries and I’ve given away most of my souvenirs except for my swimsuit at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland that says ‘For Rent’ engraved on it. I will compensate next time I visit please forgive me
Go rent a swimsuit at the blue lagoon my friend you will have memories for a lifetime
Singaporean, I took my daughter there 2 yrs ago we had a beautiful vacation. Everything is right with Singaporean!
Also, don’t get rid of her lol. There’s no one that’s perfect you know.
Yes same let's all go to husavik!
- Are you Gay?
- Nooo, no! I'm Russian!
BEST. LINE. EVER!
Would have actualy work for some other countries, but well ... :)
Sisu
@@aurelienpiquet6711 That's exactly what makes the line so funny, if you know a bit about what's going on in Russia...

Hahaha
Me at 4am: *trying to sleep*

Spoken in English😁
@@ruthe6017 lol I know right? I honestly hoped for a little more Icelandic in this movie. Was cute anyway, though.
😂😂😂
My Brain: my hometooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooown
@@Sauloesoterico speorg note!
Never expected to be so moved by a song in a comedy movie
“Sometimes the winning song, isn’t the best song. Sometimes the BEST song, is the song from the HEART.”
I think people who hate Eurovision need to hear that.
😥
Lmao or the most unique cus so many ESC performances that were really catchy and weird are remembered and the winners aren't
Like the runner up in Portugal 🇵🇹 Canção was by far better but too edgy so the went with meek girl pretty song 👎🏼
Search up Dancing Lasha Tumbai 😂😂 it's definitely catchy and memorable
"Where the whales can live cause they're gentle people" why am I crying
That single sentence makes me cry so hard, that and the way it sounds, it´s almost like you could feel the gentle people and the free whales vibing in that same moment, I still don't know how they made it but I'm thankful.
The whaling industry was huge in Iceland for hundreds of years
Whales are extremely gentle creatures and do not deserve to be killed by humans.
I cried too!!!
@@Bigevilfishy why does that matter? What matters is now. And now husavik is known for whale watching.
I can't count how many times I've watched this clip. Such a stirring and beautiful song. Rachel does a wonderful job even if it isn't actually her voice.
its not her voice, its molly sanden singing but yes the acting is great :)
I think Rachel's voice is mixed in with Molly Sanden's. So there's some of her in there. And the acting performance sells it anyway.
@@mcwyman7928 Yep ur actually correct
@@mcwyman7928 no its just Molly
How about ja ja ding dong
My wife and I drove the entire perimeter of Iceland for our Honeymoon, and Husivik was a last minute and unscheduled stop for us. Turns out that small town was one of our favorite and most memorable stops of the entire trip! We loved it and this movie definitely brings back memories!
same for us. Husavik was the highlight of our trip.
So happy to know it wasn't a movie fluke. Did you tribute to the elves?
beautiful song
I've wanted to move to Iceland long before this beautiful film and even though he said they didn't want Americans. Lol he didn't say anything about us Canucks ;P
@@whiteoutbbhso many people laugh at this. In the words of my favorite youtuber: come closer...
You do NOT mess with the elves...
If you're waiting for my "lol", there isn't going to be one ....
Don't fuck with the elves.
This movie is a rollercoaster of stupidity, comedy, then complete and total beauty. It is one of my all time favorite movies.
Richard Johnson love the part with the New Yorkers, the only thing I didn’t like was how bad a person they make the main character, yet he still gets the girl somehow 😶
Everytime I go to sing this song I cry like a baby hahhaa such a good movie
@@corymorrow5329 I kinda liked him; he wasn't perfect, but was pretty decent. He was selfish, though realised that and scolded himself. He was loyal as well, and his interactions with sigrit was cute af. Another bonus with their getting together is their childhood friendship.
@@botchii3059 sure I guess he had his good side too, he was funny in the movie but I kind of wished she ended up with the guy who was actually nice to her throughout, they had a better connection in my opinion
He was gay.
A star is born: “Shallow” is the best song
Will Ferrell: hold my Jaja Ding Dong
embittered
Yes
pffft. This is 10 levels better than over-hyped mediocre Shallow. The movie too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Made my day
Underrated comment
I wonder how proud Björk must be 😊 you'll also be thrilled to know the actual location the song references has adopted this tune as their anthem. Now that's a real score!
"Where the northern lights burst out in colors, and the magic nights surpass all others" is incredible songwriting!
I like how in this movie they didn’t make the Russian and Greece singers the villains, but just supportive pals it was a nice change up
Who said they helped? The Russian didn't help at all.
Anisio Oficial true they weren’t helpful but it’s really nice to see the competition being supportive of the other teams, I fucking love this movie tho
Anisio Oficial true they weren’t helpful but it was a nice change up to see them be friendly with one another and not do the whole “ sabotage the competition” angle
Russia was literally the villain
@@maxwelld23 No they weren't lol first half of the movie yes he had some bad intentions by trying to steal her away from Lars so he could sing with her, but 2nd half of the movie he's supportive of her and then at the end says he's happy for them.
There was no villain in this movie. Lars dad become good and supportive at the end too even.
This song didn't win the Oscar, but it won our hearts.
@@clipsofcooper u literally said the same thing he said 😐
@@shandellarciaga1754 (edited)
Heck the oscars
Was it nominated?
Unfortunately, Oscar thinks that the racism card would get them more woke points. This should have won!
As an Australian man, raised in the desert, now living in the tropics, I have never been more proud to be Islandic.
I was just as proud when Iceland made it to the quarterfinals of EURO 2016... and those absolutely adoring fans!
"All I needed was to get away, just to realize that I was meant to stay" this lyrics hits so hard for someone like me who always thought there is nothing for me here in my home. By going away, you'll realized that the people around you, people who has been there for you, are the reason why you need to stay.
When you are young the world seems to small for you... As you grow older you start to realize the size of it and find that so many things you thought are achieveable are unachievable because the time flies so fast. Once you are faced with that realization you are drawn back to where you've come from with a fear that you have missed out on a lot of important real life events trying to chase the distant dreams.
Exactly what I thought of my country! Me and my family were supposed to go to St. Petersburg but then came COVID. We went to see my childhood landscapes instead. I remembered it was a beautiful place but when I saw that lake and those forests and baby bears playing late at night in isolated area... I realized that I was meant to stay 😊 🇫🇮
I traveled the world a good bit, and no matter where I go, I return to my hometown. It holds my heart, my family, and my friends. The people, though imperfect, are my people. They hold my traditions, my history.
@@h2kDotheDU reminds me of this great song "I still call Australia home"
I’ve been an expat for over 10 years and couldn’t agree more. This song gives me absolute goosebumps, squeezes my heart and makes me tear up literally every time I hear it.
Petition to get this performed at next year's Eurovision as interval act
Ironically they actually shot this part at Eurovision 2019, that’s really Will and Rachel in front of the audience. Makes me love it more!
Yes
iXortri
So the fact they combined hers and Molly’s voices together, then she went in front of the real Eurovision audience of 9,000 people makes no never mind to you? Boy things must get wild in your moms basement on Saturday night.
iXortri
Good one. Hey, give me a shout when you accomplish more than smelling your own farts.
iXortri
Hey, give me a shout when you perform at Eurovision. I’ll tune in.
They didn´t have to go THIS HARD for a comedy movie´s music, but they didi it FOR US
Which we absolutely needed in 2020
Beautifully put , babe . I think the phrase we're looking for , might just be , better than it needed to be . I watched this movie , with a mate , so we could mock and take the piss . A movie parodying The Euros ? What an easy target ! Cant wait to see just how bad this is gonna be . Oh no , Will Ferrell is in it ? WTF ? Go get us that popcorn , ' cos this is gonna be a carcrash . Yes , I should get out more , I know .
What a movie . What a flippin ' movie !
God bless you Netflix , or who ever set this up .
Edinburgh looks so beautiful , he said randomly .
Couldn't stop crying throughout . And I a Captain in the Marines . I'm not , but you get the idea .
Way , way more people should know of this movie .

That is the spirit of Eurovision. Completely insane but so touching.
I rarely comment but this is EVERYTHING to me..... was so so down when this movie came out, i watched it over and over whilst in lock down - and now i feel happy and lucky to have survived the big silence with this last song scene... I have since been to Iceland on a personal pilgrimage and i must say - it was everything you could imagine.
This is a brillant take on art in general. You can make it good enough to sell. Or you can go the extra mile to make something that lasts.
This song caught everyone off guard in the theatre! It was just that song that hits you in the heart and you just wanna hear it over and over again
One of my bosses is islandic and he loves this song more than anything else. He translated the lyrics she sung and he looked so happy and proud. He made me watch this movie for the first time
And made you proud to be Icelandic?
I never thought I would cry to a Will Ferrell movie.
I know, right?
@@JanLehnhardt... and I never thought I'd sit thru one!! What an unexpected treat Dr. Will☘️
What about, ‘Stranger Than Fiction’?
watch Stranger than Fiction, it will make you cry
@@EllionGrey Yep. His best work, by far.
This song is played on the radio every day here in Iceland and I freaking love it.
Actually?! That’s so cool !
I wish I was Icelandic
Edit:Thanks for the likes that is the most likes I ever got
Honestly, that's amazing, I'm a big Ferrell fan and this movie blindsided me with how good it was, not in the comedic sense but in the human element. It truly made me homesick for a country I've never been on and I've never felt like that before.
You should be proud!
Really? I dream about live in Scandinavia, you are so lucky
I’m so jealous!
When she hits whistle, I totally got goosebumps
The voice who sings is Molly Sanden, Swedish singer, look her up, her voice is amazing! 🥰
Speorg note!!!!!
Just watched this gem of a movie again. I’m a grown man and I cried…again
same😂
same
Well into my thirties. Same.
me too... no problem
Its a beautiful song.
Irony is that this movie didn't win over critics, but won over our hearts :).
Screw the critics. I've never cared one bit what they think. 😁
Sometime critics and right and sometimes are wrong so it's kinda hard to trust them lol
Damn right. Critics are self glorified complainers who can't find a real job. All that education and the only way they can think to apply their vocabulary is to shit on artist's efforts? I think every critic needs to spend at least one solid month practicing the art forms on which they shit.
Something similar happened in the movie 👀
Agree. Just like in the movie. Those with heart would understand.
I will tell my kids that this was the actual Eurovision 2020
Please do, because it was. And even though I don't like Eurovision, I watched this enough times to make up for the whole show
I mean it kind of was
and I will tell mine that this song won the Oscars.
Technically it was and should be officially recognised.
@@Smallhandle thats mpossible
The first time I heard this song on first watch of the film, it was jaw dropping. As soon as she starts singing, you know this is going to be special. By the end, I was a blubbering wreck. It’s quite possibly, one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in my life. As Lars says “the perfect song comes from the heart”. And of course, that gorgeous voice of Molly Sanden. Incredible.
Same here. It blew me away
I watched this with my mother in law, it was a little uncomfortable during the statute scene, and by the end of this song I was tearing up like a little boy. Whenever I experience beauty, whether it's visual, audible or any other sensation, I can't see. Luckily, I was able to play it off, but I was totally not prepared to cry in front of her.
This song is beautiful. It has a similar pace to “Never Enough” in the Greatest Showman but still very different.
I was thinking the same thing
Couldn't hold the tears in when the performance happens in the movie. This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Same. I'm a huge sap for this. When he gives up his chance for fame to let her express herself and in turn do their home country proud...was too damn heartwarming. Wasn't expecting it at all for an otherwise silly comedy. Really wonderful scene and song.
Me neither. I was so overwhelmed. And at that SPEORG NOTE I was cheering and crying at the same time. Unbelievable
I haven't even seen the movie, but I sob big fat tears all over my face.

Me too! It makes me emotional.
Probably because it’s all lies and they actually kill whales still 🤷🏼♀️
natalkah you’re fun
@@livelaughloathe it's true, but that's about the only bad thing about Iceland
We’d already booked a trip to Iceland when this came out. As a result we added Husavik to our itinerary and visited all the spots used in the film including Sigrit’s house just outside the town which is actually a farm building. One of the shops in Husavik has a wall where a quote in Icelandic is painted attributed to Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams and Molley Sanden. The place that was used for the external scenes of “get back in there right now and play Ja Ja Ding Dong!!” is an office. You can go into the church and even up the stairs of the steeple where Lars rings the bell. Our time in Husavik was the one of highlights of our trip.
Hope you found the site of the bus stop next to the harbor.
did you see the elves house?
Did they actually have a real town bar where everyone sings?
That is so wholesome 😭❤
The Icelandic language is absolutely breathtaking. When she switched I just.. god I wish to know the language and understand it because it feels like the language already knows me..
Molly Sanden sang the song. She's Swedish. Still, Nordic though

Thomas Wells for this year they at least had to have a premiere date set at the theaters before they went to streaming. Doesn’t work if it was set to be streaming only. And Eurovision was always meant for streaming only
@@Luigui495 probably but the oscars are doomed to get with times sooner or later they'll realize that stuffy theaters aren't the only place for good movies anymore
For a Will Ferrell movie....this song is seriously beautiful.

I love this movie so much I want to thank Will Ferrell for cheering up this weird time ❤️👏
@@Eeda01 meee tooo!!!! LOL Love it!
It truly is. And Will shouldn't have had any vocals on it at all. Ruins the whole mood.
One of the best days of my life (76+ years) was spent in Husavik and in Skjalfanda Bay surrounded by humpback whales. I never tire of this song and the memories it evokes. (Plus the movie is probably Will Farrell's very best work.)

I actually think you're right or atleast top three
Love everything about this movie. The cast, characters, music, vocals by Molly Sanden, heart warming story, and humor. Can’t get enough of it.
Yea, I don’t usually like goofy comedy, but this works so well
Watched the film 6 times already. I still could not believe Will Ferrel having a fantastic romantic comedy chemistry with Rachel McAdams.
Great movie!
Will's wife is Swedish and he has watched Eurovision for 20 years, this film was going to made at some point
OSCAR NOMINEE SAY WHAAAAAAAT!!!
WHAAAAT!!!
I do hope that this song wins! It’s an awesome song! Thanks Netflix!
it will be amazing if they win and they’ll perform it together! together with the original singer !
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! YOU DESERVE IT AND NEED TO WIN!
The elves have gone too far!
“Where the whales can live, cause they’re gentle people.” I’m not crying, you’re crying.

An incredible song that should have won an oscar.
“I’ll just leave the knife here, in case, you have to do any more murders”

Funniest moments in the movie!
I laughed so hard at that line
Haha I just rewatched it and realized that their last names are Eriksong and Eriksdottir. Erik’s son and Erik’s daughter lolz
Hey bud we have the same name😂😂
This song makes me Proud to be Icelandic even tho I’m Mexican 😂
Bro me too 😂

Rediculous, let's boycott the Oscar
justice for jaja ding dong 🙏

My love for you is growing wide and long....
Whoever’s idea it was 2 cast Rachel McAdams deserves a raise
I think the one who casted Molly Sanden does!
@@Yakuzan1 It's a great story actually. The Icelandic music composer who produced the song "Double Trouble" was looking for someone to sing the demo. His wife's younger sister friend (Molly) was around when he was composing and he asked her to sing to the demo for Hollywood studios. Molly did and they obviously liked it so much her voice was picked. I agree, great casting. Talking about being at the right place at the right time.
It was molly sanden from from Sweden or somewhere in a Norwegian area
Rachel McAdams carried this movie with her acting and Molly Sanden carried it with her voice.
I teared up during this song and remember thinking "wtf is happening, a Will Ferrell movie is not supposed to hit like this"
@ Steven The Seagull. Rachel’s voice was used in this song, it was blended with Molly’s in post production. Incredible performance by both amazing talents!
As a native Floridian, born in Honduras, raised on the Serengeti and fluent in Swahili, I have never been more proud to be Icelandic.
As a Portuguese man fluent in English and born in Spain, I've never been more proud to be Icelandic
Bleh... Good Choice. Who would ever want to be Portuguese
portúgal er geggjað hvað meinarðu gamli
Who else is here because after watching the movie we have this song stuck in our head?
Yes
I actually have Ja Ja Ding Dong
Me. Good movie, loved the music/songs . . . Always been a big Rachel fan . . .
I have Yaya DingDong in my head lol
Pretty sure this is Demi Lovato's voice dubbed over right? Eithet way, I LOVE Rachel McAdams ❤
Iceland must be pissed they can't use this song in the actual Eurovision.
Think About It is a great song aswell
2019's entry was incredible and imo would have been top 3 if not the winner
HA
Iceland has had better. Eurovision is just tougher to win than it looks.
we are lucky to have this song in this movie :)
I was on a tour in Iceland and the guide played this song and said he actually really liked it and thought it represented the spirit of the country/Husavik well. 😍 Iceland is the best!
In my opinion there are 3 things that make a movie great. Does it make you laugh. Does it make you cry. Would you watch it again immediately after finishing it. This has all 3 and in my opinion a truely great movie. And this song is beyond beautiful.
If you don't get Goosebumps when she starts singing in Icelandic, are you even alive?
the test for being an emotionally healthy human is whether your eyes start watering just a bit;)
I thought I'm the only one... I literally started crying when she began to sing in Icelandic 😲.
I started crying. I can’t sing it, I sound like a screeching rat.
True you have to be dead inside not to
She’s not really singing you know
Grew up in Husavik. Im still crying over this song
It’s so profound to be seen
It's so amazing to see people around the world connected by movies. My compliments from Brazil. I wish I could visit Husavik!
I cry every time I read a comment from someone from Husavik loving this song.
I grew up in Milwaukee, but I'm crying too.
Þú þarft samt að setja (í og ú) í husavik
My paternal grandfather was born in Husavik. The family farm is still there, occupied for generations by my family. I love that area and I love Iceland.
This whole movie is such a hidden gem. It’s given me such joy in the midst of great pain. I’ll never not laugh seeing that little knife and little elf door slam shut.
aha totally! I hope you’re ok💛
Bless you dear
“i will just leave this here for you, in in case you have any other murders” - such a hilarious line
justanothercontentconsumer whatever the love story is so sweet and touching especially Rachel’s character
That was my favourite part of the movie the way the slam the door shut made me fall off the couch 😂💀💀
I haven’t cried in years. When the guy in the bar shouted, “she’s singing in Icelandic,” I started too. Don’t even care. It was so sweet.
But how is a guy saying she’s singing in a different language make you emotional 😂 I’m just wondering
The idea that singing in a language other than English was a pretty good way to lose (not to mention singing a different song) and then doing it anyways-pride in your heritage outweighing the need to win...something like that. Or maybe I’m just a baby. 🤗
beatinghelen yes, I feel that
Same here!
how can you go years without crying i at least cry once a week
We’re all homesick for Iceland. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
This is actually a banging movie and the soundtrack is sensational
You are actually totally right, Julie! As an angry, old man, I told my wife that I had no interest in watching this. It took her several trips taking me to fancy restaurants and a couple of hot nights to get me to watch this. Now, after seeing this movie and falling in love with it, there are a lot of bloody unsigned contracts with my missus that I have to fullfill ... dusting, cleaning, washing up, fixing her shitty car...However, I still love the movie funnily enough!
Ironically enough this would have won the real ESC
it wouldn't have
I don't think it would win, maybe a top 10 possibly even top 5 but it would not win
don't get me wrong it is a wonderful song
No chance, Eurovision is often very political so Iceland will likely never win it
@@reganbrannigan3006 That's so not true!
This song winning is the only thing I care about in this year's Oscars. That nomination was absolutely deserved!!
I couldn't agree more. This song is so absolutely beautiful, it deserves to win the award for two reasons. 1. Everything else nominated sucks and 2. Will Ferrell is singing in it. He's actually really good.
Of course
@@samstarr7125 He sounds like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.
@@Grsz11 which Jesus? Are we talking Jesus Christ of Nazareth Jesus or Jesus Christ Superstar Jesus? If it's Jesus Christ Superstar Jesus, you gotta be more specific. A few guys have played him.
Could not agree more goose bumps every time
*I listen to this song many times and I can't get enough of it*
As an American who was borne in Japan, I am proud to be an Icelandic.
PLAY JA JA DING DONG
But we already played it!
I ONLY WANNA HEAR JAJA DING DONG
Epimachus when will it be enough?
@@marc1397 play it again!
hahahah incredible comment
Rachel McAdams is wonderful in this movie. When we finally get to this scene, the song hits your heart hard taking the movie from a silly comedy to a delightful movie. Big props to the writer of this song and Molly Sanden who sang it.

I still wanna hear Rachael McAdams natural voice after this haven't found anything
Erick Ibarra Oh you can hear her at certain points in the movie & these two I’m sure of: 1. At the first dress rehearsal when she’s surprised by the dancers & pyrotechnics & 2. When she’s songwriting at the piano. That’s her & her alone! Another instant that I’m not so sure about is when they’re trying out the K-pop mix - it could be just her but it could also be Molly! The chorus for ”Happy” could also be Rachel on her own but it’s possible that it’s Molly too. They have similar tones! 😅
@@mathildabacklund5976 I Mean a full song not those small parts
Erick Ibarra She doesn’t sing any full songs that I know about. You can hear her where I mentioned before, distinguish her kinda in the background in the official recording of Double Trouble in the verses but you hear her better in the first half of the chorus. Also her voice & Molly’s blend really well in the chorus for Volcano Man. Otherwise, what you hear is Molly throughout the movie & the official soundtrack mix! Molly sings Jaja Ding Dong & Husavik all on her own, as well as the verse for Volcano Man & the hook for Happy (maybe even the chorus but not sure). She also dominates Double Trouble - has a much more powerful voice than Rachel.
It must be very cool to be from Husavik and listen to this song, i'm from Italy and i've never felt this homesick for a place i've (sadly) never been to
I still come back to this song every so often because it just hits something deep inside me. It’s truly beautifully written and the melody just takes me away. I cry every. Single. Time. She starts to sing in Icelandic. I loved this movie so deeply.
10 months later and I still listen to this song almost every day. 🥹
Side note: the emotion in Will Ferrells face when he says “speorg note” in just complete astonishment gets me every time 🥲🥹
@@mjholmes6042 I was reading thru and see this fresh one so just have to agree. 😊 I was marvelling at the positivity in 10k comments. Molly delivers in an amazingly written piece. I think the fact that it is delivered in a vehicle that probably nobody really expected it to come from makes it that much more powerful. The way it was cut into the movie with the reaction of the characters back home was something. Ferrell's a pretty big deal.
Reminder to listen to this song AGAIN
Same
The only valid dislikes are from people who want Ja Ja Ding Dong.

"She's singing in Icelandic" was my favorite part
That was to let the viewing audience know that she was singing in Icelandic so they weren't looking at each other wondering what was said since the whole rest of the movie is almost entirely in english. Every Icelander knew she was singing in Icelandic. Every non-Icelander who understood she's Icelandic knew she was singing in Icelandic. It was put in there to remove all confusion for those of us lacking in the IQ department. I thought that part was cringe worthy mostly because I can't stand it when movies do that. I mean, got the proud moment of being represented that they were going for, but that blurt out kind of killed the vibe of the song for me personally and felt more like an interruption to clarify what was going on, even more so as I'm re-watching the song. This song could have been a bit longer. The producers of these shows must think we have the attention span of a......
He said... in English...in Iceland...
People are replying to this like it wasn’t clear it was Icelandic but I appreciate his tone of voice and face when he says that. It’s surprising to hear for everyone and I like how in the beginning, she says she wants to sing in Icelandic but she and Lars agree it’d never win the song contest.
It’s definitely a point of pride for her hometown and family and friends
Me to but im from iceland
Could you possibly translate what was said into English? Literally reading the comments on this and looking for the answer. 😂
If Iceland ever wins I want to hear this in one of the shows!
I had Tofu for dinner, practiced Kung-Fu with this song playing, by the thousand-years-old ancient Yang-Tze River, and feel so proud to be Icelandic.
I did not expect much from the movie, but instead I fell in love with the story, the characters and this amazing song! How many are here after watching it?
Everybody it’s one of the best movies this year ,what a surprise.
Yeah... everybody.
3 times
If they don’t let Molly Sandén belt this song on stage at The Oscars (if they have one in 2021) it will be a crime against humanity.
that would be pretty fucking awesome
Shes not black enough for the call of diversity needed
@@carlbussey2383 you're ridiculous
I read somewhere that this movie is not eligible for an OSCAR
@@milthon21 did you read why it may not be eligible? do they not like comedies? maybe the streaming companies need their own awards show.
1:01-1:06 is my favorite part because the crew in charge of pickibg the iceland artist for the contents is completely blown away when the duo they though would ruin their chances has brought them the most hearfelt ballad to their country and to love. You can see how touched they all are and how strong of a memory has just been created. Being able to see their love for their country and music become intertwined in a single moment on a face is truly remarkable.
This is such a fantastic song from a criminally underrated movie.
This is now the Netflix Iceland channel
the channel name still doesn't incorporate Iceland just saying
THANK YOU
PLAY JA JA DING DONG!
WE WANT JA JA DING DONG
JA JA DING DONG!
My mother is from Husavik. I actually teared up when this came up. I remembered my summer days growing up when my mooma is still around.
If this scene doesn't make you tear up a little bit it is because you have ice in your veins!
'AND THE MAGIC NIGHTS SURPASSSSSSSSSSS ALL OTHERS" its so majestic....
There was something so powerful and raw about that man getting excited about her singing in Icelandic that I instantly started crying.
Belive me, all of us in Iceland felt exackly that!
It was such a moving moment!
I DID TOO OMG
Did anyone else cry when they first heard this song?
Nope i didnt....it was the onion ninjas!!! Yup...nasty buggers 😂
Still crying on the tenth time :P
Still crying, yes
Couldn't hold it back, and I really tried!
44 year old man, dislikes rom coms, cried like a baby...not ashamed to say it.
