The Sugarcubes Interview MTVE 1988

[@heidifalzon1479]

I so love Bjork she’s so soft and delicate childlike but so interesting and intelligent ❤️❤️❤️

[@craigg5410]

@Talorc MacAllan bit extreme

[@silverheadonyx]

She was, is and always will be absolutely adorable!

[@kidkique]

I think another way to put it is she acts Coy and it's adorable

[@Kanezilla66]

She sounds very naive actually

[@arly2281]

1:26 Hahahaha😅 Einar's naughty face, pointing his finger at Björk hahahaha how much tenderness they gave me. .. how they started to play and joke with her.🥰

[@RetroPlus]

They are so chilled out

[@you8786]

they are the true definition of "cool kids". I discovered them weeks back, and I'm too immersed in their world, I never listened to bjork until I found out this band. discovering the sugarcubes then discovering bjork is such a strange experience i'll never forget, it feels different. what's more interesting to me is that I still can't believe they grow older, in my mind they're still very young I wonder how they feel about getting older when they experience being the sugarcubes..

[@lolah3838]

I love the Icelandic accent when speaking English.

[@The1066BMJ]

I like the tonality of her voice...& nothing else.

[@hunnybean269]

I lev how expressive they're without saying anything, their body language screams words

[@anaemiczombie]

Just marking this for my future depressive self to be happy 16:55

[@jamesjoseph6568]

The Icelanders that I met, for the most part, seem to be genteel, humble, and highly intelligent. The Sugarcubes are very indicative of that.

[@TheFreezerGeezer]

What happened to The Sugarcubes- did they dissolve? Bahahaha!

[@Endzeitstille]

thejollyjumbuck yes, 25 years ago but did a one-off reunion gig in 2006

[@gustercc]

I would sell my left foot to have seen that reunion.

[@privatetartanarmy]

egoisnotadirtyword The cultural tastes of the world weren't refined enough for the Sugarcubes.

[@bastianmaranga151]

Thomas Stones Nah, they were on their way to global success but internal band problems emerged and Bjork also wanted to branch out on her own.

[@kanewanharris2424]

They were a bit freaked out by the thought of world dame after 'Birthday' exploded; Bjork was ready to go solo and I heard they are all very close still as she spends a lot of time in Iceland.

[@sasamilic720]

hahaha check out the sugarcubes fucking with the interviewer 14:55, giving a "history lesson" on how icelanders were invaded by the turks and use the arabic script, and she just nods and smiles and continues on to the next question

[@LasciviousSloth]

they fooled me. I just believed them for the moment and look it up, but found nothing

[@hunnybean269]

Sasa Milic I didn't get that part

[@_nightowl263]

When he said nusrat Fatah ali Khan my face lit with glee

[@Elixear]

La culture est essentielle... en Islande.

[@anaemiczombie]

@@Elixearthat’s great, I wish I was brought up in iceland

[@lolah3838]

They had their heads on straight and knew the score from the get go.

[@jmes70]

Love Björk’s sweater.. kicks ass!

[@markgeraty8558]

we simply must have them back.....

[@anaemiczombie]

Agreed

[@bokenyisicario5515]

Greetings from Hungary!

[@jkfuentes6888]

7:03 Frida Kahlo....didn't like him really until that moment 15:43 Love what they say in response to her question about their religious beliefs

[@geeksenerds]

Oh fuck they dress so nicely

[@melindafaith2011]

The guy on the right reminds me of Johnny Depp plus Travis Fimmel from Vikings of History Channel.

[@1w598]

I see it.

[@PeteyS.D.]

And the dude on the left reminds me of John Lithgow with a hint of Meryl Streep

[@dirkrichter293]

He reminds me more on ...heath ledger...the right one...

[@Elixear]

Quand le "monde" se rend compte que les Sugarcubes n'ont pas besoin de lui... Bien que la charmante présentatrice soit tout à fait polie et courtoise, les questions qu'elles posent reflètent l'arrogante omnipotence de l'impérialisme occidental en général et américain en particulier. Les réponses taillent en pièce chacune des questions posées, tellement elles sont loin des centres d'intérêts et préoccupations du groupe, contre toute attente. La question la plus stupide est certainement celle autour de la presse anglaise et de ce qu'en pense le groupe. Et la réponse donnée par Björk à ce moment est la plus intelligente possible, "Vous devez comprendre que nous n'avons pas ce journal (aka Melody Maker) en Islande. C'est comme si vous demandiez aux habitants de Jupiter s'ils vous aiment bien." ...Quand l'âne brait, on lui donne de l'herbe. C'est sans doute cela qu'on appelait liberté et indépendance d'esprit par le passé. Tout cela est bien révolu aujourd'hui.

[@TravisBickle1963]

Nous sommes tous libres..... Si nous le voulons.

[@Elixear]

@@TravisBickle1963 C'est vrai pour la liberté de penser, ce que vous dites. Mais pas pour la liberté tout court.

[@lennypearl]

You can see their reluctance to say that Deus refers to the Judeo-Christian god, and that basically the song means “God does not exist”!

[@TravisBickle1963]

Truth hurts!

[@ameliegodwin9001]

Dose anyone know a full translation of the little song at the end

[@TravisBickle1963]

Let me know if you find out, sounds like an Icelandic sea shanty!

[@spectraldominance]

Translation: dingadingaling Everybody sing The hookers dance in a ring The cook on the (couldn´t hear ka- word clearly) Who f*cks all the hookers F*cks them in the ass Then says "pass"! Something like that :)

[@eog1234]

Ding a ling everybody sing, the sluts dance in circles. Hey! The cook on the toilet that fucks all the whores. Fucks them in the ass and then he says pass...... Im not even joking 😂

[@eoinryan3275]

Who is the guy on the left? I know Einar and Björk to see but the rest of them I dint know.

[@TravisBickle1963]

I think it's the drummer 'Sigtryggur Baldursson'

[@danlaslo8965]

She doesnt sit like a real lady!I have to go to Iceland someday!

[@atheistleopard618]

because she's a goddess, duh.

[@tedjordan9038]

Bjork is a vessel of primal, unfiltered femininity.

[@AgzDaRedz]

Painful

[@Kanezilla66]

It's funny how knowledgeable we all were when we were kids 😂

[@fiendishlybilly]

What's with the "interviewer"?

[@gnomefuel]

she’s throwing them easy, standard music interview questions and they keep coming back by challenging whatever she says despite most of it being common knowledge or they reply with short dumb answers that completely miss the point half the time (especially from the guy on the right). i think she did a good job keeping it rolling so smooth since she was working w these pretentious nincompoops

[@leesaking6746]

Yes please stop I don’t care for this song because your wrong bjork GOD DOES exist!!!!
