The Sugarcubes - Motorcrash

[@rickagu240]

Love when she screams, “where have you been all this tiiiiiiiime.”

[@kenaldri4982]

Nobody does it like Bjork :)

[@alansmithee4895]

She has some good pipes

[@enricoanderlini5928]

Yes, she's perfect

[@sebastienleblanc1530]

My favorite moment of the song too. I love it when Björk is in full-on screaming mode. It gives me goosebumps!

[@Jmartin68]

I love when she screams anything. That little lady is a beast.

[@benedettobruno1669]

28 years after its release, Life's Too Good is still an excitingly good album. Gosh what a voice! What sounds! What atmosphere!

[@519forestmonk9]

Benedetto Bruno it's still one of my favorites, and it always surprises me.

[@woairinrin]

32 years now and it's still f*cking fresh, gotta love The sugarcubs.

[@enricoanderlini5928]

How much I would like to go back to that day in 1987 in front of the TV, when I saw a video of Sugarcubes for the first time

[@benedettobruno1669]

@@enricoanderlini5928 Indeed! I remember getting totally hypnotised when MTV Italia first broadcast the "Birthday" video in 1989. That video triggered my fascination with the Icelandic landscapes which is still alive in me. And of course with the Sugarcubes and Bjork.

[@danielrochelle2044]

@@benedettobruno1669 yeah! Funny thing is. Most people don’t know that Iceland is a small municipality in Southwest Germany. Where the weather is particularly cold. That explains Björk’s strong German accent!

[@EverythingRisk]

Backpacked through Europe in the late 1980's before going to college. Saw the Sugarcubes in a small club in Reykjavik. Amazing experience. Wonderful people in Iceland.

[@Dulcimerist]

Did you see any motorcrashes?

Wow, seriously? I'm so jealous! Tell us more about the show, what was it like?

[@mindfield7]

Haven't heard this in years. This one became my favorite of the album at the time.

[@jcraigwilliams70]

This was the first song I ever heard from her. I was about 17 and I was obsessed with the song and video.

[@ivanterrible7362]

Were any of us ever so young? This song traps the moment I fell in love with Björk like an insect in amber. Frozen for eternity.

[@enricoanderlini5928]

Me

[@brindlefly]

31 years on and it still sounds as fabulous as ever...think this cassette was cemented to my Walkman for a year...

[@golperuano]

When this album came out in the late 80s it was an instant hit in music scene of Los Angeles. They played in one of the bigger clubs there and I kick myself for not catching their show. I adored this album. One of the best of the late 80s and a great introduction to the great talent of Bjork.

[@beatc]

sugarcubes' first album is sooooo good.

[@maniarnon2]

too good

[@eoinryan3275]

@@maniarnon2 The best/worst pun I've ever heard

2nd album is awesome too My favourite ✌️

[@lentewinrrett2033]

en argentina era dificil llegar a the sugarcubes, cuando los descubri...fueron puertas a laberintos infinitos, bjork creó más, y más, y más, y aún lo sigue haciendo....

[@enzoayma4032]

Bro recien me entero, pero que son the sugarcubes

[@Mattteus]

man! the indie scene in the 80s was awesome!

[@johnotis6764]

Yeees! Pixies and Sugarcubes premiered around the same time. It was almost too much to bear.

[@stevencorsoe9575]

Not sure if there's an indie scene worth talking about now...just weird luminati shit about pointless crap nobody wants to hear.Unless you're a young listener that likes that drone on shit...just garbage.Send you're message else where all just garbage.

[@Arson_Welles]

I love this song so much. I listen to this song when I.. kinda like, forget how to have fun and just be in the moment.. if that makes sense. So, it's a great tune, and has always been my favourite Scubes tune, but I never realised how cathartic it was to my soul until now.

[@andreascikota6188]

Björk does not make music, it's pure art at its finest

[@aheroinheroin]

[Verse 1: Björk] Riding on my bicycle I saw a motorcrash A proper motorcrash And lots of spectators I rushed to the centre Saw the injured parents Cuts on the children An awful motorcrash [Chorus: Björk] Dangerous motorcrash Terribly bloody motorcrash Destructive motorcrash Oh, oh, oh [Verse 2: Björk] Took the mother Sneaked with her secretly Went to my home And nursed her gently Put on her bandages, gave her Milk and biscuits She sighed pleasantly after this Awful motorcrash [Chorus: Björk] It's a dangerous dangerous motorcrash Terribly bloody motorcrash Destructive motorcrash Oh, oh, oh [Interlude: Einar] That girl on that bicycle showed great interest In all the motorcrashes in the neighbourhood She looked quite innocent [Bridge: Björk] Then we disguised ourselves Took a taxi to her home When her husband answered the door She introduced herself, he said "Where have you been all this time?" Oh, oh, oh [Outro: Einar] But believe you me I know what innocence looks like But she showed increased interest After she got that bicycle

[@dogtemple24242]

Life's Too Good still their best album in my opinion. What a masterpiece!

[@Thelustral909]

Omg, I've never heard this glorious gem before, I'm in love! 😍

[@stevencorsoe9575]

Wow...scary...a great song like this!!!.. An Mtv favorite before that Kartrashian scumbag shit took it over with the retard jackass shitheads...oh and that fucked up Tom Green asshole...What the fuck happened to Mtv and just music in general?

[@OperatorMax1993]

I just discovered it and I love it! ❤😍

[@stevesilverstone1015]

Me too

[@donniedarko1345]

In 1998, I was 12 years old when I saw this video on MTV's 120 minutes. Then I was introducd to Bjork. Ah......back when MTV was youtube and we can find other songs by artists and find more bands in this genera. People borne before 2000, we needed to listen to MTV and the radio to find niche bands. Count your blessings to find obscure music!

[@roommai]

I really love when something is very well made and have a lot of personality; both come together.

[@romzeltser2906]

What I love about "rock" Bjork (this and "coldsweat" are good examples) is the fact that her voice is "girly"+powerful and heavy at the same time(robust soprano) and therefore her belts are light AND piercing. Usually only "heavier" voices can pierce like that (think Whitney for example). Like, I can picture NO ONE singing this better. And she also had supreme belting technique. I think she did more interesting things as a solo artist but this is her top tier era for me, vocally.

[@ri260]

She's soubrette soprano

[@rhondas6158]

This looks like it was filmed around Keflavik. I recognize the buildings and that stretch of road with all the lava rock. I love Iceland! Best place I've ever been!

[@Starkardur]

only the parts with the Lava Rock may have been filmed in Keflavík. All the buildings is in Reykjavík.

[@DerKlassiker73]

Björk is one of the most special voices in the world - in harmony with the music of the future. The mixture makes it!

[@LuciodeOrtigosa]

No puedo dejar de escuchar esta canción, me encanta!!

[@dpatterson1489]

Best song by The Sugarcubes IMO

[@tubularme666]

Case study in rhythm guitar. Syncopated and perfect.

[@coopdedooped]

late 70s and early 80s XTC also has absolutely brilliant rhythm guitar

[@paganpoetryb]

That girl on that bicycle Showed great interest In all the motorcrashes in the neighbourhood She look quite innocent !!!

[@samwallaceart288]

What's already an entertaining song is elevated to new heights by the traffic cop talking over the intercom ... there's just something intrinsically amusing about basic information relayed through a thick European accent.

[@TawdryTempest]

Baby Björk=talent in the raw plus undeniable appeal!.

[@RomyIgoeX]

Crazy and surreal song, but can't get enough of it!

I own this 80's dvd spectacular music video compilation ..... the voice is one of kind

[@patton303]

I first got into this band because I read that they were heavily influenced by The Police and Oingo Boingo and I love those bands. But I grew to love the Sugarcubes so much on their own. These songs are still astonishing and fresh.

[@GaryCrossey]

How did I miss this video (until now). Einar looks great as a cop!

[@Maxi1971]

how brilliant!

[@VioletDeliriums]

well i agree with that about the hype -- the kind of stuff you read on a corporate review of an album...but bjork is more than "just a singer." she also spends a lot of time thinking about each album she makes, developing the concept she wants to express, assembling the sound palette she will use to do so, making the beats, and then letting her voice go crazy once all the backing tracks are made...you should look into this...

The Police was instrumental in creating post-punk and that entire strand of the 80s sound.

[@56squadron]

OK, for those of us who were there and got their debut LP, it was initially released in different color sleeves - blue, green, yellow, orange and pink (I think that was it) So what color do you own? I have a pink one. (took it by choice) And this woman's ability to scream and sing at the same time is amazing. I saw them live back in 1988 and still have the ticket stub.... 31 years ago!
