Bjork was brought to the world's attention when she was with the Sugar Cubes. They had a few good songs but "Birthday" was a huge alt-rock hit. It is so unique and great. One if my favorite songs with her as singer but before she went solo. Check it out. But she has a host of great songs. Her big band-ish, "It's Oh So Quiet" (which you mentioned) is currently used in Corolla car commercials in the US which was a fun surprise choice by Toyota.

1 Yes, it's pronounced byERk 2 "No vocal agility"? Like many songs of this era, it has a lot of Bjork's trademark scat vocal which sounds like a foreign language (but not Icelandic), and that's where her powers as a singer really come through. 3 Obvious comment - just say it, it's a song about a guy who's good at giving head - so of course there are visual double-entendres in the video (even the egg) 4 More musical details - the song as heard here was substantially rearranged, by Talvin Singh (and yes, the strings are real btw): Bjork's first draft was the very spare folk-like version later released as a b-side, and for a long time preferred by Bjork (judging by live performances) 5 Major nostalgic appeal here - this tends to be one of the defining songs of 1993 in British people's memory, even though it wasn't a huge hit (and back then radio stations were playing an awful remix with [bad] extra vocals) 6 It's a pity You Tube doesn't have the superior amateur recording which exists of her first gig (rather than the crappy one), where they gave this song an extended outro (the bass player just couldn't let go of that riff)

We dated for 3 years and she was my angel that sang my life out loud. I still love and admire her from 1990 n own all her music from Sugarcubes till now. This was her breakout album from the sugarcubes. Very very important album. And from there she has taken us to other planets, literally. She is our portal to those worlds. I love her, always.

Congratulations my friend Tommy!! ...Now here you have your best new year gift!!....Today it is very difficult to find reactors like you who have never reacted to the best singer in the world, Dimash Kudaibergen, who has 7 octaves and 3 semitones vocal range (An alien) ... Maybe someone made you a request to react to Dimash, but you have not had time .... I am going to dare to recommend that you meet Dimash, because when you do it for the first time, your life as reactor will change forever ....For example, the number of views that you have today, it will increase by 300% in a matter of a few hours and you will get a lot of new subscribers.....But when you react to Dimash, don't do it with his most recent songs ... I recommend that you go to the year 2017 and react to the song that made him a global idol ... I mean the performance he did Dimash from the famous French song called "SOS D'un Terrien en Détresse", when he participated in the famous Chinese reality show The Singer in that year 2017 ... With that performance Dimash earned the reputation of being the best singer on the planet, so I recommend you start with that one .... You can also start with the other famous live version of that song that Dimash did the following year 2018 when he was invited to the famous Slavic Bazzar festival in Belarus .... Both performances are from another planet....Your life will never be the same again, after reacting for the first time to Dimash...And your first reaction to Dimash will be something very special, so I recommend that you do the best job of your life as a reactor, because that first video will be seen by thousands of people around the world, maybe millions...I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Dimash, but if you don't want to, that's fine...
