#shorts #bjork #music
Answer: her parents gave her a popular name for Icelandic girls.
Thanks it started giving a lot of extra info I and most of us fans already know 😅
"Odd name" dude it's her first name.
another possible answer could be that there was a low representation of icelandic people/"björks" in music and just her first name would make enough of an impression on the rest of the world to be memorable. maybe also about a sense of familiarity/intimacy(first name vs. first name last name) or belief that her music and personality would stand out without her adopting a stage name. i wish whoever made the video asked why she might use her first name instead of just padding out the video
I lived in Iceland for a couple of years and her name is as common as 'Susan' lol.
@@nautilus541In Iceland, you're just called by first name. Everyone knows who you're talking about. If not, then you could mention the patronym (sometimes matronym).
Nothing is more American than calling a non-English name odd while mispronouncing it.
yeah, especially when it's a given name
This. ö is not pronounced like ó.
@@Volundur9567🤣 I’m sure this makes sense
👍🇳🇴
Yeah, isn't it pronounced B-yerk? Rhymes wth jerk, as I think she said.
i'm sorry did you just say she released three albums and then she released more albums
EPs, and LPs are characterized differently, hence him saying albums THEN LPs.
@@rxcamillo Albums are the same thing as LPs, EPs are just short collections of songs (usually
@@rxcamillo but they're all LPs, from Debut to Fossora
@@rxcamillo
EP=Extended Play
LP=Long Play
If you are familiar with Bjork's discography you would know she has never released an LP
@B M you are talking nonsense. An LP is an album. An EP is a mini album.
debut, post and homogenic are LPs
She also made around 2 million TVs explode.
And even more phones & tablets.
Lol
How ?? (Sorry don’t know anything about her )
@@julia-qm2td “My name is Björk and your television is just about to explode!”
@@julia-qm2tdits a fucking hilarious video where she says your television is about to explode you need to watch it
…. She’s from Iceland…. It’s not weird it’s an Icelandic name 😂
That’s what I was thinking 😭 like isn’t that her birth name wtf
@@Bear27012 yes her full name is Björk Guðmundsdóttir meaning that she is Björk daughter of Guðmundur (dóttir = daugther). We don't use surnames/family names.
@@MrPickyquestion? why don’t you guys use sur names ?
@@Lilswagjr surnames have never existed in Icelandic. Surnames didn't exist in Europe until the 11th century. It was never made mandatory in Iceland and most likely due to isolation it never became "a trend" even though the Danes that used to rule us would have preferred it. There where some that wanted it and there are still about 2% (or less) of the population that carry a "family name". Guess we are just too proud of our heritage that we prefer not to use surnames.
It a swedish Sirname
"My name is Björk and your television is just about to explode!"
Love that clip!! ❤
and none of her songs from her that I listen to to this day..i tried but it hurts my ears
@@masbroinside444It's hard to get used to. I used to not be able to listen to radiohead because Thom's voice was sometimes grating. All I could really do was force myself to listen and eventually I ended up liking it. This in turn helped me get used to Bjork's voice fairly quickly.
@@masbroinside444😭
@@masbroinside444literal bot
Björk is not an odd name. it's just an Icelandic name
Came here to say this, the video title gave weird vibes
Rather than just Swedish, Bjork is an old Nordic name, so you'll find it in Norway and the Faroe Islands as well. It's fairly common in Iceland.
💯
my triggers are f****ng everywhere i swear to god
@@volkova6209 you can add browser extensions that censor certain trigger words you enter if that helps (outside of blocking them on any apps)
Yeah, didn't understand the Swedish connection. Björk comes from Old Norse, the original langue of the Nordic countries (except Finland of course ;) ).
It is common in Iceland, both as first name as well as middle name. We don't use surnames so there is no "Björk family" 😅
@@MrPickyexcept it's only spelled björk with "ö" in Sweden
the script sounds like its AI generated
That sex playlist is WILD though!
@@Demention94 gets the job done x
Since when is Bjork an odd name?
Birch is also VERY healing.
this makes so much more sense. why her music genuinely heals my soul...
Well, to americans every non American name is apparently odd 🤷🏻♀️
So is she❤️
You could at least say her name right 😭
How do you correctly pronounce it?
@@RealHampter b-yerk!
Meh
@@exoplansectmeh, close enough. I pity people who don’t have “ö” in their alphabet XD
@@feridedogan7653 excuse you? Björk is pronounced as Björk, with a permanent ö. Not Bjork, it just sounds stupid
A whole video about her name and you mispronounce it 😢
“Be yorg”🤡
I was going to comment the same thing
How tf else are you supposed to pronounce it?
@@user-ze5yx3wy7nthe Ö is pronounced like the e in jerk so Bee Jerk. Björk.
@@user-ze5yx3wy7n Byerk 😁
i’m sorry but calling bjork “quirky” feels weirdly cheap, she’s so much more than powerful than the word quirky implies
Frfr how are men still referring to this internationally acclaimed multi-talented artist and adult woman like she’s a cutesy little girl
@@linotte_
Amen! This amazing person is almost 60 now.
A tad overdone by the late-1990s. At the latest.
my name is bjork and your television is about to... EXPLODE!
Dude, Bjork ( _as Bjork!_ ) released her first album when she was _eleven,_ in _1977._
But that was _Bjork!_ not Björk.
She released it as Björk Guðmundsdóttir and the title of the album was Björk
One of the most iconic and clever singers of all the time.
"your television is just about to explode"
The vast majority of Icelandic surnames are patronymic, giving us her actual name: Björk Guðmundsdóttir, daughter of Guðmundur.
As for the name Björk itself, it’s a fairly common name in the Nordic countries, meaning “birch”.
she still owes me a tv
Vulnicura is the greatest primal heartbreak and reflective piece of art I have ever listened to
Why is her name weird? Because it’s difficult to pronounce in English? Bjørk is the name of a common tree in Scandinavia ( both Norway, Sweden and Denmark use the word bjørk) - and we use it to decorate everywhere on our national day. Just because Americans doesn’t get it it’s not weird
The way you just,,,formatted it to not even mention Vespertine is killing me inside
Her name is not odd for a woman from Iceland.
WAIT, MY TELEVISION WILL EXPLO-
how could that possibly happen😂 in what world would my fucking television- why the fuck is my television on fir-
“My name is bjork and your television is about to … EXPLODE!”😍
Thanks for not cutting short the video after all!
Okay but she was also part of the sugarcubes and have released 2 more albums before debut
The Sugarcubes had three albums, Life's Too Good; Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week! and Stick Around For Joy.
@lionharehart yes I know, as well as 2 albums under the band KUKL but what I meant was Gling Glo and the self titled album "Björk" from 1977
That doesn't explain why my television explote. 😠
Behind the name but still can't seem to pronounce it lol.. Like Björk once said "Björk like as in jerk" 😂
Björk is pronounced "Byerrk" not "Byork"
I can't hear Björk without thinking of her stalker . I never knew she covered " i remember you " until i watched her stalkers video
She is the mother the queen the only reality. I realised how many top artists from different genres are inspired by her work. Bjork and aphex twin both mother and father🙌🏻
She is a goddess of Avantgarde!
She is just an amazing artist and singer.
I have all of her albums.
I never understood those pearls in front of her eyes aesthetic in her costumes until one day I did acid and watched a music video of hers, and quickly noticed the effect it has in the dark and while tripping, they become glowing eyes and fade in and out with the graphical environments she oh so loves to create. She’s amazing
In Iceland they have laws to preserve their language. So children are required to be named from the official list of boys or girls names. So they can't have a son and name him Lance, he has to be Bjorn. Every year half the children are named whatever that year's popular name is. Half the girls will be Bjork, and half the boys will be Sven. Next year those names are likely to be less popular.
Her name isnt odd, its beautiful
My first thought hearing this dude say 'delicate' was Bjork beating the shit out of a papparazzi because he invaded her son's space.
It is very rude to call someone from another country's name "ODD”. English isn't the only language.
she's my favorite female singer
My favorite female vocalist. Love this woman so much! ❤
Bjork is a legend and way before her time. All others in her genre take a backseat. And yes Bjork is an Icelandic name. Take time to learn about Scandinavian culture.
Icelandic pixie, diva, musical goddess, is Bjork.
Who’s music and sound, is elemental.
Björk*
🎀That’s a good description of her type of music. 😊 I usually just say,”Bjork.” When describing her music.🎀
That's all we need. A video about Björk, sounding like a Nike commercial.
Whatever! She's iconic and she marked a before and after in new age music.
Musical genius.
birch trees are Not Delicate! they are fierce, make it difficult for competitors grow nearby and survive almost anything. That's why they cover vast tracts of the North.
One of the best artist of our time
Lol just adding the ending shot of el camino as an outro
Her voice is more than 3 octaves…
She had like a 4 octave range . But right now she has maybe 3 .
Vespertine is the GOAT
I have always loved Bjork going back many years , got all her music but I do love the original songs- she has changed her style of music over the years- ❤❤❤
She always gets 'The Best of Me'. If you catch my drift.
It's pronounced Byerk
and most important info of all, she can make dolphin noises, in middle of her concerts.
Why didn't you talk about how she made a lot of tv's explode???
I really like her early post punk rock stuff with her first band.
It's not Odd! It's Icelandic. Just because it's not common in the US!
As Someone Whos Definitely From Earth She Did More For Those Like Us Than The Brightest of Earths Scientists.
Originally i Did Not Come In Peace,
But She Changed That.
Your World isn't So Ugly After All,
In Fact its Actually Beautiful.
I Believe In Beauty ✨
Luved her as a member of the Sugarcubes during the 1980s & early 90s.
My name is bjork and your television is about to EXPLODE
what is blud waffling abt 😭😭🙏🙏
She was in a band called KUKL who released 2 albums in the mid 1980s on Crass Records and also toured with the anarcho-punk band Crass.
Gorgeously in human she is the most amazing woman to me
She's awesome! Such a unique and beautiful talent. She embodies everything lady gaga wishes she could be.
Pronouncing her name wrong...
Bjork is a lovely and talented lady🌹
If it means birch in Swedish - and maybe other Scandinavian languages, and also in Icelandic? - it's nice because a simple or tea of white birch bark is an analgesic... just random fyi
Her parents gave Björk her name...
It's only quirky or weird for you.
She doesnt seem to age just mature like fine wine
her clothings, pics, iceladic landscape..... all so beautiful I need source of them 🤩🤩
She said it was a word for a dandelion when dry and going to seed, the silver fluff ball is called a “bjork”
Well that was a completely bonkers video where this guy got pretty much everything wrong. From the number of albums she's released and their titles, to the reason why as an Icelander she has an Icelandic name.
She's also super cute/and or adorable when she's not wearing make up or a bunch of shit on her face and hair... ❤
My name is not odd. It’s just a tree. Many people have tree name, color, flower names etc.. Americans take old Scandinavian names like it’s exotic to be interesting but they pronounce them wrong and it sounds awful 😅
And Bjørk is not pronounced that way. It’s not with Å, its an Ø.
If you can say LURK you can say Bjørk. With a real Rrrrr. It’s almost the same. You’ll get there.
I LOVE BJORK SO CREATIVE
my name is bjork and your television is just about to explode
Although you did correctly say solo albums.. She did release albums with her early band the sugarcubes.. Actually I'm not sure if they did more than 1 album.. But they did at least 1.. And I've got it on 12 inch vinyl
Vespertine,medulla etc,etc,etc
She is amazing
It’s pronounced BYERK.
Love Her
Ты моя любимая! Ты моя единственая! У меня на теле тату- BJORK
SHE'S ALL THAT!
You would think that someone talking about her name would actually be able to pronounce it correctly.
It rhymes with JERK. It does not rhyme with ORC.
To pronounce it correctly, you would say beyerk, not beyork.
me: "Huh. I always assumed it was just a Nordic name. Now this title makes me think it must be something else with an interesting backstory."
this video after stalling with irrelevant information: "Her parents named her Björk because it's just a normal Nordic name."
Is ten albums!
nearly 20yrs ago i spent 10 days in iceland. I looked up bjork in the phone book, which is alphabetical by first name. Tons of folks named bjork in reykjavik. I wanna say over two full pages. Quite a few with the same full name as her: bjork gudmundsdottir. Nothing remotely odd about the name.
15 Grammy nominations and never win? 😔😔😔 at least PLEASE for the sake of God give her one 😓😓
it's pronounced "byerk"
As a Icelandic person this is ableluitly false
@mr.monkey9935 take it up with Björk, she's the one who said it in an interview. "it's Byerk. it rhymes with jerk."
I love her, she is beautiful
Bjork is badass. Don't nobody fk with Bjork.
Björk is said like "bjerk."
There are no trees in Iceland. At least not such a huge areas as shown in video. It is just one tree in whole area, probably just homeowner planting one imported .. next to the house ..
Miss pigi😂😂😂😂
My favorite thing she ever did is the Satisfaction cover with PJ Harvey. Brilliant.
Si, amtes que la gente se emocionará por lady gaga, existia bjork.
Never heard a single one of her songs and don’t plan to.
My mother 👩 Ramona came from Canadian area, with plenty of birch trees 🌳
Odd name? That’s like saying any foreign name is odd, that’s a shit take
