Everyone's favorite Icelandic wackball on The Tonight Show in 1995. No rights, just a fan of Bjork. I get no money from this, feel free to skip any ads.
Her belts, her resonance, her tone, her falsettos, her growls, her inflections, her sense of tempo, her musicality, her performance, her improvisations, her body language and the music she writes... everything about her is weirdly divine.
Actually that's exactly what you want to nailed at performance, to be fully immersed, she is one of the legends because it makes a perfect performance which is this, become your art🤍.
If you like look up Floor Jansen or Jinjers front singer Tatianna. Or maybe Courtney from Spiritbox. They all have something special just like Bjork - love her. I'm always impressed by their vocal control.
You should see her in the cambridge concert. She was literally running around the stage after each sentence she sang, I was amazed she never ran out of breath.
Approximately after 20 years this would count as a pure classic, it's even now stylized as an _oldie_, this song is full of positive emotions, I can't describe it properly..
+Moozy Mathers I mean, it is an oldie since the original version is from the 40s. But if you specifically mean this version then yeah it's become a classic already.
@@chriswolf9751 Its the same song really. I like Bjork but nothing about this rings originality. Its just the same song but whackier and in a funny accent.
I remember when this song came out. This was a major hit. All the kids 5 to 20s were rocking out to it. My parents thought we were insane for blasting this day after day but it was just simply amazing because in the 90s, everyone was so obsessed with either boy bands or r&b. To have a song like this come out of nowhere, we just loved it. My sister even had like 5 copies of it on cassette tape in case one accidently got damaged/lost/recorded over.
Tbh this is awesome! She's not weird, she just does her own vocals and shit which shows she has true talent and can sing everything on her own. If you really appreciate music you'll understand (;
When I saw the dolphin vine of her it made my curious but I've actually heard this song in a commercial and I'm so glad I found it because I really like it
"It's Oh So Quiet" It's. Oh. So quiet It's. Oh. So still You're all alone And so peaceful until... You fall in love Zing boom The sky up above Zing boom Is caving in Wow bam You've never been so nuts about a guy You wanna laugh you wanna cry You cross your heart and hope to die 'Til it's over and then It's nice and quiet But soon again Starts another big riot You blow a fuse Zing boom The devil cuts loose Zing boom So what's the use Wow bam Of falling in love It's. Oh. So quiet It's. Oh. So still You're all alone And so peaceful until... You ring the bell Bim bam You shout and you yell Hi ho ho You broke the spell Gee. This is swell you almost have a fit This guy is "gorge" and i got hit There's no mistake this is it 'Til it's over and then It's nice and quiet But soon again Starts another big riot You blow a fuse Zing boom The devil cuts loose Zing boom So what's the use Wow bam Of falling in love The sky caves in The devil cuts loose You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse When you've fallen in love Ssshhhhhh...
at one point It looks like she wanted to drop off the microphone and starts to dance all over the stage! ,I love her makeup on this video, she looks so damn pretty!!
I saw an interview with Björk, she said they were on tour in the US and stopped at a truck stop. She found a cassette tape called Divas and bought it . This song was on it sang by Betty Hutton. They would listen to the song right before going on stage to get fired up. She decided to record the song sort of as a joke for the people on tour with her but also she liked the song.
Björk is such a unique artist. I saw memes of her and checked out her music and didn't like it at first, but when I listen to more of her songs in my free time while paying full attention, its so unique. Her music is growing on me.
I have loved this song for many years. This is one of those unique songs that wouldn't be the same if another artist performed it. Bjork owns this song!
OMG WHAT DOES THIS VIDEO HAVE TO DO WITH HER ???!??? LEAVE HER ALONE! WHY EVERYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH HER NOW? SHE ISN'T "TRYING TO BE WEIRD", SHE'S JUST BEING HER SELF.... I guess that's the bad part about being famous, people who don't truly know about you will have opinions based on what they hear. (in your case, probably just a bad guy, right?)
She is amazing!!! She sounds perfect. Most girls now need a studio. She puts the studio to shame. The way she screams and then goes back to singing there’s no crack in her voice at all. She was so ahead of her time. I got to know & love this song 3 years ago and to know it’s been out since 1995 hurts my soul.
So much talent , so much 'cuteness' , and amazing raw powerful force of nature , and she doesn t take herself (and the business side of showbusiness) super seriously sometimes ,love her!
Why are people getting mad if this is getting views because of the vine? If anything it's a good thing because it's more recognition for Bjork. At first I thought the dolphin solo was a little weird but overall once you look past that it's a really good song and she's a great performer.
This was from Bjork's second solo album, Post. I lived and breathed all Bjork in the 90s. Loved her to bits and was so inspired by her uniqueness, I even copied her hairstyle those days 😂 sang her songs, though not even 100 feet near her talent. This lady is a musical prodigy, a genius and a visionary. 90s was heavy on guitar sound, yet she wasn't intimidated and carried on doing her own style. I love how she used many bells and percussion, and oh those beautiful harp music, then experimented with drums and bass sounds and effects. But best of all, her out of this world vocals, scat-singing, growls and sound effects, She is a brilliant artist!I can only wish, I can create music like her. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥✨️✨️✨️✨️
I feel so honored to have lived through Bjork in real time! Such fond memories of her artistry and her evolution... and for me it started with this song!!! ❤️❤️❤️ There’s is no artist who both understand and execute pop music while staying genuine to her own self... with no ounce of self consciousness. I am yet to find another artist to love like I love Bjork!
Everyone these days won't perform without some form of autotune meanwhile back in the day Bjork was rawdogging perfect pitch like a vocal boss. She's absolutely wonderful ...
bjork is what you call an artist. None of this poppin Molly's smoking weed a shit.. She is unique and beautiful, I laugh at all the hate she gets about her style.. that style made her famous so shame on you all.
I agree, the first time i ever heard a song from her was when i saw "The Professional" as a kid. Her song "Venus As A Boy" was amazing to me, something very raw and unique.
Antoine Gist she's absolutely wonderful. "Pagan Poetry" and "Joga" are two of my favorites from her as well, she has a way of making someone feel every emotion she feels in her songs. A rarity in today's music
Those "weird noises" are something you either love or hate but sorry...every bit of this is so controlled and perfect. She doesn't always scream but she knows how and if she was any different no one would know her name. I wish I had as much talent as her in my pinky toe. She goes right back into the Cabaret thing like it's nothing. And it's meant to be a performance. Some theatrical stuff is weird. Get over it.
Remembering seeing this live and recording it. Two days before I saw her live at Spreckles Theatre in San Diego. I was completely in love with her during that time.
Just incredible gifted person and performance of a timeless classic. I sure miss Jay Leno and his presentation of amazing person like she is. Thank you both!
Why was Bjork never on Broadway?! This is the video that I need to keep coming back for so I can be schooled by this queen on how to be a true performer.
The amazing group of musicians she has behind portrayed the dynamics of the song so smoothly. And her performance is of the best I've seen ever, as usual. So enchanting.
björk: * makes dolphin noise *
me: i love you so much i would die for you i-
mom spaghetti hahaha
Easy, Ricardo.
Relatable
me too
Lol 😅
Her belts, her resonance, her tone, her falsettos, her growls, her inflections, her sense of tempo, her musicality, her performance, her improvisations, her body language and the music she writes... everything about her is weirdly divine.
I find her so exotic.
Except she didn’t write this one. Look for Betty Hutton 🙂
@@fhogenfeld Actually Bert Reisfeld wrote it, it was originally a German song and he translated it to English. But Bjork made this song alive.
She epitomizes Avant-garde..
Weirdly divine is the perfect way to describe her performance. She's a goddess and her throat is a portal to a thousand worlds
ok her screams were always so perfect in every performance
bjork besto metal singer
Yoko Ono has left the chat...
I came here to check if this comment exist. Thank you.
ALWAYS
honestly! i love them because they always hit the mark. they’re perfect
This is not a performance. She actually becomes the song. Not an ounce of self-consciousness.
Right on dude. She is talent to say the least
ditto
thats the zone
Actually that's exactly what you want to nailed at performance, to be fully immersed, she is one of the legends because it makes a perfect performance which is this, become your art🤍.
;)
How does she keep control of her voice after screaming she has vocal chords of steel
And then she developed nodules and had to have surgery. She doesn't sing the same.
@@PeregrineSW woah rly?
@@PeregrineSW what nodules?
If you like look up Floor Jansen or Jinjers front singer Tatianna. Or maybe Courtney from Spiritbox. They all have something special just like Bjork - love her.
I'm always impressed by their vocal control.
She's a dolphin bro
I think it would be almost impossible for anyone to do a Bjork song on karaoke.
@Jeff, the God of Biscuits done i miss you ;)
Kali uchis did a cover of Venus as a boy :) I thought it was pretty good
Amanda Fondell did the candy crush commercial using a version of it's so quiet...wasn't difficult at all
It's actually easier when you're drunk 😂
Except Human behavior and hyperballad
That Dolphin sound must've been hard. I'm amazed she was able to recover so quickly.
I don't know why but I thought that must be what a unicorn sounds like !
A dolphin penis is called a dörk.
@@ALXandroATS WHAHAHAUEIWSLSLS
The way she screams and then goes back to singing mellow is beautiful.
@@ALXandroATS FUJTAIAUGAJJSFUSJ
How does she manage to hit every single scream so perfectly every time???
She understands her voice. That’s how.
AND make dolphin sounds
@@alanheyes694 Her vocal surgery says otherwise..Nah but jk I love this woman
This performance really cemented my love for Bjork.
Amazing performance....
Same here! I was 18, and completely taken with her because of this performance..
AMEN TO THAT !!!
Her facial expressions
🤣🤣🤣
she's having the time of her life ;)
The men are like ..... ummm ooook
@@thejournalexperience not this one.....im more like "i bet shes very fun in the boudoir "
It's all incredible, what a performance!
Love how the band never takes thier eyes off her during the whole performance....like whats this chick gonna do next ?!?!?
They're looking at the conductor lol
@@angerarandry her voice is the conductor 💃
this comment is a whole time capsule...
The conductor is just out of view behind Björk.

You can still make fun of this but she's better than your faves
ikr
Doesn't apply, she's already my fav. No, but in all seriousness, you're goddamn right she is.
Hmmmmm...... Really better than Brendon urie
+X T and E X that was sarcastic btw
Justin Bieber is much better stfu
She has some lungs! I can't sing like that!
Well, of course you can't. Nobody else can.
But it is not my taste in music despite of her ability.
Schelby LO ok

I’m a big fan of the 90s I was born in 1982 that’s true 90s were all about boy bands.
Actually zoot suit and 20s inspired big band was a kinda popular trend in the mid to later 90s
Björk asmr.
Omg.. that is one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen on broadcast television...period!
Tom with his bullhorn on Letterman doing Chocolate Jesus is up there.
U a queer. PEEEERIOOOOD!
2:09 what the heck was that? Amazing, nobody can do that only Bjork
I always laugh at that part
Dolphin
Bjorkin
yoko ono
She not only sings. She becomes the song. Truly impressive! It makes me so happy to watch this.
what's vine? oh right, it doesn't exist anymore.. now, let's keep listening to Bjork
Ah yes, roast an app
Are yall mad cause she can actually sing
She sounds the same like the studio version 😍😍😍 bjork is so perfect
Tbh this is awesome! She's not weird, she just does her own vocals and shit which shows she has true talent and can sing everything on her own. If you really appreciate music you'll understand (;
She is weird. But that’s why she’s one of the greatest singers to ever roam the earth
I can't believe she did it so flawlessly this song is fucking impossible to sing live and yet she fucking did it what a queen !!!
Omg she sounds Amazing. Rlly. Just like in studio version
When I saw the dolphin vine of her it made my curious but I've actually heard this song in a commercial and I'm so glad I found it because I really like it

Fuckin amazing performance
She performs my favorite version of this song. She's adorable, period.
Hey, all's fair in love and squeaking. That's why she's my favorite wackball : D
Your description is hysterical. She is one of my favorite musical everything. Hunter is supreme.
She's far more than an oddball though. She's one of the most creative artists around.

Dumb people would call her quirky, I think Bjork's art is 100% deliberate.
She's unbelievably good
Truth is people have been making fun of Bjork's singing for 30 years.
+Jp Prater that's gonna be Selena Gomez
on the river road lol funny joke
Well she's worth almost $50 million. People have done worse for less
Im so late to the party. Fuckin 20 years too late, but i get Bjork now.
She's so awesome.
I love it, she takes a 50s swing number and makes it her own!

I have loved this song for many years. This is one of those unique songs that wouldn't be the same if another artist performed it. Bjork owns this song!
It's great that she got to be so artistic, and still do big TV shows like this
Oh my gosh, love it. I so appreciate her uniqueness, and how she owns it.Bravo!
