"Nice Weather for Ducks" is a song recorded by British electronic band Lemon Jelly, released on 20 January 2003 from their second studio album Lost Horizons (2002).

The song spent three weeks on the UK chart, peaking at number 16.[http://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/nice-weather-for-ducks/ UK Official Charts] The track is primarily built around a sample of John Langstaff's All the Ducks, which is an English translation of the traditional Dutch children's song Alle Eendjes Zwemmen in het Water. Lemon Jelly were unable to clear the rights for the use of Langstaff's voice and instead the vocals are performed by Scottish actor Enn Reitel.{{cite web |title=Holy Hell!
