Shut up Bjork
I never really got all that into Bjork. She's just too inscrutable for me. In fact, there's only one song of hers that I like. It so happens that my friend RG was singing it last night. She said, "I can't get this song out of my head. It's this really old show tune..."
And I said, that's not a show tune. That's Bjork!
(On a semi-related note of my history with this song, I once watched this video with my friend MC, like, 5 times in a row. Also, when they make certain faces, my mom and Bjork look very much alike. And, I kind of resent her for "Dancer in the Dark" (Bjork, not my mom); that movie is just unnecessarily awful and sad.)
According to ma soeur, Bjork has an unabashed love for show tunes — which is where this song came from. I don't know how to confirm or deny that fact, so I'm just going to believe it. It makes a nice tidbit, anyway.

I cannot believe it! I love Bjork, my favorite songs of hers are Pagan Poetry and All Is Full of Love.

also, did you ever see the clips from Riverside Church concerts? Do you know the history of that show, was it a tv special, I asked a few people but we drew blanks, it LOOKS like a tv special: Pagan Poetry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUNDkiRkrtk&mode=related&search=
Sorry to disappoint. I recognize that she is a talented and groundbreaking musician, but just something about the timbre of of her voice or something, makes me nuts.
i have to admit that i never got into her either. i'm glad to hear that i'm not the only one...
