Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet 1995-11-02 Leno

[@stefeuphoria5412]

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.

[@ladyjane9980]

I find her so exotic.

[@fhogenfeld]

Except she didn’t write this one. Look for Betty Hutton 🙂

[@mollycollette05]

[@mizzysparrots4874]

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.

[@YAS9112]

I’m a big fan of the 90s I was born in 1982 that’s true 90s were all about boy bands.

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.

[@sneedvale]

[@u2phreak]

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. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@tiarralee1125]

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.
