Sidonie, a well known band from Catalonia, created a rather tongue-in-cheek song during a recent Ryanair flight to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain.

The group, who posted the performance video to Facebook and Youtube, explained that they composed the tune after experiencing a 'lack of respect shown by Ryanair flight attendants.'

In the video, the band's lead singer strums a ukulele as the group serenades passengers on board the plane with their sarcastic ditty.

Spanish band Sidonie sing a loving song for Ryanair...

A well-known Spanish band from Catalonia, called Sidonie, sang an impromptu song aboard a Ryanair flight

While en route to Santiago, the band grew impatient with the alleged 'lack of respect' from flight attendants

Although sung in their native tongue, the lyrics read: 'Ryanair, how we like Ryanair, and its flight attendants, they could not be nicer'.

Clearly meant to be ironic, some passengers even join in and sing or clap along as the band repeats the chorus during their impromptu performance.

Explaining the motivation behind their hilarious video, the band wrote online: 'After receiving, repeatedly, the habitual lack of respect shown by flight attendants on the Ryanair route to Santiago, we were moved to compose and perform a song dedicated to them and their irritable airline.'

Taking matters into their own hands, the group composed and performed a tongue-in-cheek tune 

As they paraded up and down the aisle of the plane, some passengers even began to sing along with the lyrics

The band also posted the video to Facebook, adding that the song was dedicated to the 'irritable airline'

Since being posted on March 27, the video has been viewed over 24,000 times on YouTube and has been liked over 12,000 times on Facebook. 

Ryanair is famous for complaints about its customer service and surcharges, and it has recently launched a marketing campaign and measures such as allocated seating to win over passengers.
