COOL polar songs?

[kimj...@gmx.de]

Hey guys,

 

I was asked for a few COOL songs that have lyrics encapsulating ice or polar or something like that (not frosty the snowman…)…

I know there are a few out there, but I am really bad with remembering names.

Does anyone have a good tip for me?

 

They will be included in a boost in Oslo for the PIC (Polar Information Commons – or rather the IPY data legacy) I am helping with.

 

Highly appreciated!

Thanks,

 

-Kim

Hi Kim,

 

there is some cool stuff on YouTube, e.g. search for 'ice ice baby'; one sciency adaptation is 'cruise cruise baby', but that may not be what you're looking for...

 

Hope this helps, Claudia

Hi Kim,

Try the following (say thanks to my husband):

- Icehouse or Great Southern Land by ICEHOUSE.
- Don't Eat the Yellow Snow by Frank Zappa.
- So Cold by Breaking Benjamin.

Furthermore, you could contact Machiel Lamers, one of my fellow polar tourism researchers, who has written and recorded a number of songs about Antarctica. He's really good.
If you think this would be appropriate, I can put the two of you in touch.

cheers,
Daniela

Anything from the sound track of the movie Arctic Tale is good.

Dear Kim,
            This is not a good song, but for sheer ridiculousness you can't beat David Haselhoff singing "The Pingu Dance" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eafiz11hW9s). I recall an entire CD being given to participants in the 1st APECS meeting at Sanga Saby in 2007. Ah, here it is. "Muewseek from sixty above..." This has a number of songs (titled in Swedish, I think). For some reason, I have one extra copy of that CD that I can mail to you if you give me your address. The case says that if you want information about the songs, you can contact da...@illicord.se. It is about 50 minutes long and marked with the IPY 2007-2009 sticker. The quotation "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" starts off the CD and I believe that I hear indigenous singers as well, otherwise it is a mix of musical styles.

          Combing through the National Science Foundation's past participants in the Antarctic Artists and Writers Program unearths the following musicians and sound artists:
Henry Kaiser (http://www.kff.org/about/henrykaiser.cfm)
Cheryl E. Leonard (http://www.musicfromtheice.blogspot.com/)
Andrea Polli (http://www.90degreessouth.org/) - data sonification
Douglas Quin (http://www.antarctica2000.net/ & http://www.wildsanctuary.com/antarctica.html) - made recordings of natural sounds in Antarctica

           In terms of songs that evoke a sense of place, I recommend "Can't take it in" by Imogen Heap (taken from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esz99cV6Ado) or New Order's "Crystal" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6WLaAVJ60A&feature=related).

         Also, if you are looking for science-related songs, try out "The Symphony of Science," which blends together music with auto-tuned speeches from the likes of Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Jane Goodall, and Richard Dawkins (http://www.symphonyofscience.com/). You can download all the songs and videos from their website for free. There is "IGY" by Donald Fagen from the band "Steely Dan" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqUU-GCuppo), which captures the hopeful spirit that emerged after the IGY.

         I hope that this is helpful!
                                   Sincerely,
                                               Jason

Hi Kim,

I know very beautiful polar songs in Russian... 

This is remake of old nice Russian song about polar bear. In modern version Alexander Rybak sing about Castle made of snow in English:)

Best,

Ivan

Thank you all for these amazing suggestions.

This is so much more than I expected to find!

 

Maybe we want to collect some songs for the webpage too ;)…

Will come up with a list.

 

Best,

-Kim

Hello Kim,

 

Rare Bird - Iceberg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RswJFKp264I

 

At least the name of the song is polar related. I am not sure about text (I am bad in catching words and could not find lyrics in the web)

 

cheers

Alexey

Well, this is off-colour, not at all politically correct, but probably the funniest 'Polar Song' I could think off.  Enjoy...

Hi Kim,

Here's a link for a music video from the 2008 Winter International Film Festival of Antarctica (WIFFA): 

http://cid-f32c1f3f4fb6d9e5.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Antarctic%20Movies/2008%20Winter%20Antarcrtic%20Film%20Festival/48%20McM%20Song%20Welcome.mp4. 

This was one of the submissions for the 48 hour film contest. Participants from various winter stations each submitted a requirement for elements that had to be included in the films (props, phrases, sounds, etc.), and the full list of requirements was e-mailed to the stations at the beginning of the 48 hours in which the films were to be made. My friend Anthony Powell wrote a song and shot the video for this one. Be warned, it's quite silly.

Keep an eye out for Anthony's more professional work. He started doing time-lapse photography at McMurdo as a hobby a number of years ago, and it has turned into a career for him. He came down to McMurdo on an artist and writer grant, and he has worked with the BBC film crews in Antarctica. He's currently working on a feature-length film of his work. If you want to see more, you can check-out his website: http://www.antarcticimages.com/.

Well, enjoy the music of a winter-over crew. If you have trouble downloading it, I can send you a copy.

Cheers,

Jen

Hi again,

I thought of Inuit and Chukchi throat singers and Saami yoikers. YouTube searches can bring-up multiple examples of each. The Chukotka Dance Troupe has some pretty exciting music.

For the other end of the spectrum, and globe, here's a pop song that mentions Antarctica in the chorus:

Cheers,

Jen

Just to complement the link Jen just sent, ANDRILL got the permission from the band to make this into an ANDRILL video:
