Viðrar vel til loftárása

"Viðrar vel til loftárása" (Icelandic for "it's good weather for airstrikes"; pronounced [ˈvɪðrar vɛl tʰɪl ˈlɔftaurausa]) is a song written and recorded by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós for their second studio album Ágætis byrjun.

The band named the song after a quote sarcastically spoken by an Icelandic weatherman during the Kosovo War: "í dag viðrar vel til loftárása" (meaning "today is good weather for an airstrike").

All band members appear in cameo[2] in the video: Jón Þór Birgisson is the soccer team coach, Orri Páll Dýrason is the scorekeeper, Georg Hólm is the referee, and Kjartan Sveinsson is one of the spectators.

The fetus design from the Ágætis byrjun album cover is shown on a bottle from which one of the boys drinks.

The video was directed by Icelandic directors Stefán Árni Þorgeirsson and Sigurður Kjartansson.
