It's Oh So Quiet
It's Oh So Quiet
BJÖRK BLOWS A FUSE!!!
Björk's bewitching treatment of this lost masterpiece, previously recorded in 1948 by vocalist Betty Hutton, "It's Oh So Quiet" is released as a single.
Adding her own inimitable sparkle and style to the song's big band swagger, Björk's trip is arranged and conducted by John Altman's musical tardis and is so authentic, you half expect cameo appearances from Fred and Ginger in the video! As these two were unavailable, Björk herself makes her top dancing debut in Spike Jonze's (Beastie Boys "Sabotage" and Weezer's "Buddy Holly") enchanting and hilarious video, watch as she bamboozles the city with her tap dancing, and listen as Björk reclaims the sound of real swingbeat.
