same! and just happened to come across the song on Sirius XM, huge Bjork fan so I instantly recognized her voice, and never knew about this gig! Not her best, but quite fun to jam to :)
I still have an entire E180 VHS tape I kept solely for this. I once wrote a blog entry on reworked songs. This is what I wrote about this number: - "Here we have a complete reworking of a 5 piece rock band's pop hit into a minimal brooding drone which gradually intensifies to a defiant shouter. There are nice contrasts: - P.J. Harvey's motionless cool demeanour and Björk's fiery inability to stand still, Björk's rudimentary keyboard accompaniment of droning chords and PJ Harvey's loose, distorted choppy guitar playing, PJ Harvey's restrained sardonic vocals and Björk's unrestrained free-form improvisatory vocals. I think their performance turns the whole song on its head, and what seems a cocky male complaint about consumer and sexual gratification becomes an almost feminist statement of resistance to that attitude, ending in the final shouted line, "That's what I say!""
Actual musician here as well 68 been earning a living at it my entire life. Love this.. it's like Patty Smith meets Sonic youth meets Devo meets fill in the blank..
Funnily enough , I was just thinking how I've always thought of that song as a poetic evocation of the inherent unsatisfactoriness of samsara - In Tibetan Buddhism. I don't get out much. Great version though.
I think that they got to the "top pf their game" later in the nineties, I mean, they had really good albums at this time, but for me, their primes are in the late nineties (post, tbyml, is this desire?, homogenic) and in the early two thousands (vespertine and stories)
The funny thing is that the "nine year old" is actually five years older than the "14 year old goth sister". They're both masterful in this... but Polly Jane was only 24 or 25 and only 2 years into her recording career, while Bjork was about 29, with 18 years in the industry behind her. And the mother of an 8 year old.
@@whssy Thanks, so interesting! I don't know if they have themselves to thank for for how young they look (thank you DNA), but it always blows me away, particularly Bjôrk who never seems to age even to this day.
@@whssy Ah, thanks for that, I got the impression right away they're quite a bit younger than today. Plus, my thought _howe would this have sounded with Sinead instead of Björk_ isn't that much out of place, as O Connor still was recording on those days. Pretty much the Queens of Euro Indy Rock, the 3 of m, in mid nineties
I've looked forever for this clip. I haven't seen it since 1994 and remembered it as being Shakespears Sister. It's so good. Much better than the original!
Over the years, I've become a fan of two good melodies clashing in the same song. By melodies, it could either be vocal or instrumental. And by clashing, I mean the melodies belong in different songs/genres.
First of all I do not usually like remakes they're usually like an artist is doing a version of Superstar Karaoke...but this, this one ,👆right here they made their very own it's pretty badass! These are 2 of the very best artist of my generation together I love Bjork & PJ Harvey they totally do their own thing & dance to the beat of their own drum! Thank you ladies for this little gem! 💎 ❤️🐐🐐🥁
How can you purport or propose to give quality better quality,? The only real perfection is imperfect ion, this pulls the sheets off those lying in bed and shows them as they are, beautiful in their own skin
@@roberthale6572 Thats ok, they are perfect or perfect-imperfect as you say, and I agree. The media this song was recorded in TV (image and sound quality) is the subject of my comment, theres nothing more on it. Thanks for the comment.
точно...))) ну ни когда не думал что увижу их, таких молоденких...вместе... не, они таки лучшие... Exactly...))))))) well, I never thought I'd see them so young... together.... No, they're the best.
Ive loved Björk since when she was on TOTP with The Sugarcubes. The emotion she expresses in her vocals is that not of this world!! Add that she never wdnt full on 'celeb' too, just makes her an outstanding human being. How anyone could not instantly fall in love with her, i can never understand.❤😊
i saw this clip many years ago and man, it still blows me away. these 2 women were a forced to be reckoned with and they still make great music. so what if taylor swift is named time magazine's person of the year. they gave that to adolf hitler so that doesn't mean shit.
Really? "Interesting" but hardly there up there with the original should you be wanting to rock on a dance floor (which, let's face it, half of music is for half the time).
When I watch your video, it feels like an ecstatic and pleasant wind brushes my cheeks as the sun goes down in the field and evening. Even if it's just a passing relationship that I've never seen offline or don't know the name of, even if it's over a mountain or across the sea, even if it's far away, like this in the online UA-cam world. Thank you for the algorithm that you can meet with great images. Like a grain of sand on the beach, I am very lucky to have accidentally encountered an algorithm introduction video among countless videos. Even if strong waves are swept away in the vast expansive and fantastic space of UA-cam, I will not forget the relationship we met with your beautiful video for a long time. When I watch your videos on UA-cam, everything feels like a dream. Your videos shine the brightest on my UA-cam window right now. I'm happy that I finally found what I'm looking for. I want to share the stories that happened while making your UA-cam video by sitting next to a bonfire by the river with a beautiful view. Life is like a bonfire that disappears without a word, leaving ashes in the smoke. Please continue to upload your wonderful videos often. How did you have such a wonderful talent that is full of the mysterious charm of your video? Just because the thumbnail caught my eye, I accidentally saw your video, and I liked it the most and fell in love with your channel. Your video is the best. Your video, which I feel was made with unsparing sincerity, has a feeling that positive energy will surely come to you in the future and will receive a lot of love soon, so my heart is very happy. At this moment when a little nostalgia approached, I caught my eye on your UA-cam window, passing by an unknown and mysterious algorithm. You have the ability to make your videos instantly stunning and attractive. My past memories that shimmer in your video are stained with nostalgia.
I searched for Hawkwind and UA-cam gave me this. Not sure how they screwed up such a simple search but I am always willing to give P.J. Harvey a listen.
@@as_the_turntables That was in fact, what I meant but the "young" was written on purpose as I don't feel old. I remember this as it had happened just 10 years ago! 🙁
One of my favorite things that's ever happened.
You must be deaf or close to it.
Same. I stumbled across an mp3 of this back in the Limewire days and it's been in my permanent playlist ever since.
I'm so mad I can't include it in streaming services! I came here just to hear it again @@ItWentChunkaCHUNK
Just omg!!!
Indeed
Holy heck - how did I miss this for almost thirty years? Wonderful.
same! and just happened to come across the song on Sirius XM, huge Bjork fan so I instantly recognized her voice, and never knew about this gig! Not her best, but quite fun to jam to :)
You are 8 months ahead of me 😂. Worth the wait
Ikr
You didn't really....
I just said the same thing before I saw your comment.
This is one of the most rock-n-roll things I've ever heard, and I love it.
I still have an entire E180 VHS tape I kept solely for this.

@@jamespriest9658 Thanks for the comment!
5 piece
Oh my heart, their voices combined is gorgeous! Bjork’s voice is so unique and beautiful.
What are you on? This is Crap with a capital C.
And?
@@offbeat65Calling Björk and PJ Harvey crap in 2024 is a good indication of how seriously people should take your opinions
they demolished. like I’m sorry but if you’re a fan of these two artists, you simply get it!! raw, passionate beauty. incredible stuff 🩵
Demolished, obliterated, annihilated, and dare I say….tore
@@lambchop33 tore it up!!!
Somehow never saw this before today. The two geniuses of the 90s right there.
Same…just sern it tonight and holy shit. Loved them both… combined… it’s amazing
I like how PJ starts as the lead and Bjork is kinda backup, then to close to even, then it switches by the end to bjork going bjork
Bjork sounds like a tortured seal.
"going bjork", yes!
Harmony, equality, egalite.
They are both immense, but Bjork is from another planet. And, oh, she was so beautiful!
she IS.
Who else out here watching this once a month for religious purposes
❤
You mean as Penance?
@@dewimatthews6037 more like an invocation
Funnily enough , I was just thinking how I've always thought of that song as a poetic evocation of the inherent unsatisfactoriness of samsara - In Tibetan Buddhism.
I don't get out much.
Great version though.
😅
When I saw this on my feed I thought it would be awesome... And then it was a million times better than that. 🖤🖤🖤
Sunday night stumbling on videos and actually got chills.
Two talents at the top of their game.
I think that they got to the "top pf their game" later in the nineties, I mean, they had really good albums at this time, but for me, their primes are in the late nineties (post, tbyml, is this desire?, homogenic) and in the early two thousands (vespertine and stories)
I literally cannot recover from how young they look, like a nine year-old and her 14-year-old goth sister. Just wow! The beauty and rawness of youth!
The funny thing is that the "nine year old" is actually five years older than the "14 year old goth sister".
They're both masterful in this... but Polly Jane was only 24 or 25 and only 2 years into her recording career, while Bjork was about 29, with 18 years in the industry behind her. And the mother of an 8 year old.

These two certainly seem ageless. I was thinking about how young Polly looks. Bjork's not really changed much in 30 years.
It's thirty years ago in 1994, but yes.
Both of them are so uniquely talented and uniquely beautiful! Needless to say I'm a fan!
It's been 28 years ago but nothing can beat this
Excelente!!!!!!!
Devo
Devo
two absolute legends I'm surprised space and time didn't implode.
It almost did starting around 2:10!!!
I’ve easily watched this 100 times, probably my most repeated UA-cam clip. Genius.
Right. As genius as squeezing a cat’s balls and finding pleasure in hearing his wail.
Maybe mine also!
30 years on & I still envy every last member in that audience. What a performance.
I've looked forever for this clip. I haven't seen it since 1994 and remembered it as being Shakespears Sister. It's so good. Much better than the original!
Missed this gem!!! Wow brilliant
So ahead of its time!!!!!
Nope. It's a very 90's performance.
Seems totally OF its time for me. It really brings the moment before Brit pop pushed in and we all forgot about grunge
This is MARVELOUS!!!!!
What voices and impact!!!!!
their powerful voices tremulous me and bring emotional tears. thanks for everything, björk and polly
I wish they'd collab again ❤️❤️❤️
So much I want to say about this but don''t know how.... it's just utterly fantastic!!
Björk in her prime is the incarnation of cuteness.
You gotta see how ‘cute’ was when she attacked a female reporter in a fit of rage some years ago.
Totally deserved @@Angel.T-340
@@Johro66 NO.
YES!
Cry harder
Remember seeing this live on tv. Blew my mind. Still does. Take that was on after 😂
Nice to be in the comments with others who can really appreciate this!
this is not for people who only listen the stones and 2 bands more. that was very impressive interpretation

This is incredible!
OMG pero que gran dúo. Son increíbles ❤❤
The world could be much better ...if somebody restores this to HD quality.
DEVO did . First and better.
This is damned good though
Shot SD. It was 1994 and VT.
@@Bctass Not "better" - they're both good in their different ways. You can hype another fave without taking down something else good.

Wow! That was truly amazing.
Satisfaction is so hard to come by...
If these lovely ladies can't get any, what hope have I?
nothing in life can get much more beautiful than this...
So amazing. My God .
Omg, so satisfying to listen to!!!!
frickin classic and iconic.
Simply perfect
This was awesome ❤
Imperfect perfection.
Holy fudge. My two favorites 😍 🖤🤘
STUNNING!
I love how this is so random and the song choice too
Edit: the way PJ started the song was incredible…and Björk high notes are undefeated
Who miss the 90s alternative era?
Holy h*ll! there is a lot to unpack in this. I was way out of college when this hit so I missed it, but damn!
Absolutely brilliant.
¡¡¡¡ Ooooohhhh !!!!!! Jamás las imaginé juntas ¡y esto es......! Sin palabras. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SUBIRLO. Clap clap clap. (PJ increíblemente atracativa)
Was watching a Vi Hart hexaflexagon video and UA-cam offered this as one of the end screen recommendations. Nice and icy cool!
This is awesome!!!!!
This is the first time I really heard this song of the thousand times I heard it before. Stunning and thought-provoking rendition! I love it.
Just discovered. This really moved me. So surprised by the neg comments. Its amazing how people see the same thing differently
This should be on a record somewhere. I want this on my playlist! ❤
Simply brilliant !
💖🤗🙏
too perfect for this world
Legendary!
2 queens of rock : DDD
I remember seeing this live on TV thinking 🤔 not sure about this. Listening now it's fucking amazing!
This would have blown my mind if I had gotten to see it when it happened. Even now, it made my day.
Esto es oro
Mothers are mothering 😻
The most goated video i’ve ever seen
Awesome cover
I’m crying being here right now. 😂❤
What a sick rendition. So good.
Björk is playing her Yamaha QY20 portable workstation :)
Damn!! INCREDIBLE
This is History
We have still yet to fully live in their shadows... incredible legends.

Oh hell yes!!
Magnifico
why did I just discover this in 2024? wow!
This is so amazing It can be challenging to keep going with our own creative pursuits, but this is definitely an inspiration for my music.
sublime
Wow. Just wow.
two of the best 🖤
Best version I've ever heard
