This is a waltz, where as Hutton's version is swing. So it's 3/4 transferred to 4/4 which gives the song a radical makeover. It is hard to believe that Hutton's version is only three years later, it sounds light years apart.
It's a pity that so much of it is lost in this recording. I'm sure this would be far from boring with a good quality audio transfer, very doubtful one even exists though.
@@einweieskaninchen413 betty huton takes the the gimmick with the quiet shhh and then the "explosion" , for making something new. Then she made more than a simple cover.
The Betty Hutton track is, and always has been, entitled "It's Oh So Quiet!" It was mislabeled on one foreign CD release, and that mistake keeps getting passed around. Also, all copies of the Hutton track on RUclips (or on CD for that matter) run a bit too fast. Keep this in mind when comparing her version with Bjork's. Also ... Try a RUclips search for the Heinz Huppertz recording of this song. Much better quality, and (if its description is correct) it's an earlier version than this one.
The Heinz Huppertz recording is likely from 1948 or 1949, not 1946 as the RUclips description says. If, as written in the description, that disc was released in 1946, it would likely be the original version of this song. When you search on Discogs for the Odeon label and sort by catalogue number ( label/33930-Odeon?page=383 ), you will see that last preceding disc with known release year with a lower catalogue number was released in 1948 and the first disc with known release year with a higher one in 1949. The disc was therefore likely released either 1948 or 1949 and not the original recording of this song.
"A Horse With No Name" is playing on the speakers at the Tim Hortons in the middle of Canada & is distracting me from this. Drowning it out by volume level, sadly.
"And now it's quiet", an obscured political song. Musically the US versions are both better. But that here was the local taste at that time, and also the sarcastic messages in the lyrics were typical. It is amazing how they managed to bring sense into pop music. What do we have today? Music bare of any art or meaning, except extracting money form the masses.
Hey, in the first part of the song he sings about "the society of coziness" that starts to sing their anthem. At first quietly about the calmness, then loudly about an uproar. it ends with "and you can continue this game for as long as you want". given that in 1948 germany was still in shambles after ww2, i don't think it's too far a stretch to interpret this as satire: people will keep starting wars over and over again and never learn how pointless they are
@Dick Dangle Listen to the version by Betty Hutton ruclips.net/video/0Ojarj6nTM4/видео.html . There was a video that showed her in a show, it's taken down it seems. When I see her performing with her dance moves and mimics I prefer to have all these Billy Eilishes disappear into the dustbin. (The US version however has been changed to a love and hate song. The German original is about the Germans after the war.) Here is a small one that shows what I mean about her performing skills ruclips.net/video/Pz7dZ9Q3K-E/видео.html
Supongo que lo que esperabas era la misma versión pero antigua de la misma canción...talvez la versión de Betty Hutton si te parece cover pero esta es la original y auténtica ...like it or not
been 2 years. funny how the comments goes from the first one. yea yea this one is boring and bjork is best (if not better). it also need decades to evolve. you today kids just dont understand what classic means *point to camadi
When a song is covered in another language the lyrics can change completely. It's still a cover. For example Vicky Leandros' "Apres toi" is originally a sad love song about her having lost her lover. In German it's covered as "Dann kamst du" with cheerful lyrics about the joy of having found her dream man.
Horrible. Unbelievable what Americans made out of this song, only 3 years later. This was circus music whereas Betty Hutton´s version was actually quite progressive for the early 1950´s.
Is someone gonna tell me someone sang this before him
Ung Bun, 5000 B.C.
Anodos Arcade 😂😂😂😂you didn't skip a beat!
Jared Rice hahahaha!!! Omg. I'm dying right now.
Haha
Hahaha I started with Björk then went to Betty Hutton now I'm here 😂😂
Anyone else went from Lucy Woodward to Björk to Betty Hutton to this guy ...?
Im went from Ioana Bulgaru....
Yuuuuup
I went from Björk to this guy, but yeah lol
I went from Betty Hutton to this guy. I'll go check Lucy Woodward. Have you checked the french version ? Ginette Garcin - Tout est tranquille
who the hell is lucy woodward?
dude this song is great. it'd be cool to hear an artist such as bjork sing it
Or Betty Hutton :)
very different from later covers. but equally playful and funny.
Björk brought me here.
Me too.
This is a waltz, where as Hutton's version is swing. So it's 3/4 transferred to 4/4 which gives the song a radical makeover. It is hard to believe that Hutton's version is only three years later, it sounds light years apart.
The lyrics and structure also aren't the same at all. I can see Hutton using the idea, but I wouldn't call this a cover.
Hutton's version is 3/4 for the verses but 4/4 for the chorus.
Then Björk took it and made it one of the best songs ever that's played in every Christmas ad for wedding rings
I wanna hear Bjørk do this version.
omg this is so cute :) I love all versions of this song

Yeah, glad someone found it though, I didn’t know about it!
I kinda like the crackles.
thanks for uploading the video :D
it's good to see the original version of Betty Hutton and Björk's "It's Oh So Quiet"!
It's oh so different.
bella ! mi ricorda tanto quelle canzoni che mettevano nel cartoni vecchi, come alice..questa pagina lascia un segno, merita una visita
luca santinelli me piace anche!
Lucy Woodward bought me here, thx girl😂
who?
Actually a sublime political song ... Hutton sang the song in 51 - war in Corea, the "big riot"
Pretty good!
it's oh so quiet here
Why do I like this so much
This is a pretty good cover of an Icelandic song.
😂
Woodward? the Betty Hutton Americanization of this song added more melodic swing and mercifully lost the oompah oompah
Is this It's oh so quiet??
I cant find it
This is the original version, see in description (sorry for the delay).
Look up Betty Hutton “It’s Oh So Quiet” 😀 Bjork did it too 😀
This is not the same song!
I am german and the lyrics are compleatly different from their meaning!

Yes it was quite quiet in Germany after WWII .-)

I like that Betty's has come out slightly faster, it sounds more ballsy! lol
What’s the mistake?
Well look at 2020 birds of prey soundtrack, you’ll be surprised

You could slowly give the horse a name. 🤔
What does the title mean translated into English - It's Oh So Quiet, right?
"And now it's quiet", an obscured political song.

Actually not a wild-goose chase: you've found it! Congratulations and thanks for your visit 🤝

@cesiface Ah, thanks :)
Could not find it :(
Anybody, a link?
Ciao, Bonqo.
Vorrei, se possibile, sapere dove posso ottenere il testo tedesco di questa canzone.
Grazie!

@@Bonqo Ho già scritto su quella pagina, sto aspettando la risposta. Grazie per aver risposto.
DONDE ESTA EL COVER DE IT'S OH SO QUIET??

Thumbs up if Fallout 4 brought you here.
been 2 years. funny how the comments goes from the first one.

Achmad Nugraha tell me about it
Or they have different tastes
This is not the same song like Its all so quiet!
I am german and the lyrics are compleatly different from their meaning!
Hutton/Reisfeld did a different kind of cover, they pervasively reworked the song.
When a song is covered in another language the lyrics can change completely. It's still a cover. For example Vicky Leandros' "Apres toi" is originally a sad love song about her having lost her lover. In German it's covered as "Dann kamst du" with cheerful lyrics about the joy of having found her dream man.
@@RobertoLorenzPianist they should invent then another better word for music like this then "cover"!
I know what you describing from christmas songs!
As I said, you can call it a reworking. It was a very common practice in Italy too, especially during the Sixties.
What do the lyrics translate to?

This one is cool but I prefer Betty Hutton's one , and i don't like Bjork version at all !
Bouazza kilo agreed
Bad opinion
Bjork sang it better. Hutton is shit.
wuttufuk is wrong with u?!
