It's Oh So Quiet Directed by Spike Jonze. Written by Hans Iang/Bert Reisfeld. Published by Peer Music (UK) Ltd. ® 1995 BjörkOverseas Ltd/One Little Indian Records Ltd.
Apart from the screaming, I can imagine Sinatra singing this song. Always loved this as a child because it had that big band sound to it paired with Bjorks eccentricity. And that's what made it so amazing. The old met the new.
@@Hellwyck Actually, it was written by Hans Lang and Eric Meder, was originally recorded by Horst Winter and was called 'Und Jetzt Ist Es Still', which translates as 'And Now It's Quiet'. It was then covered by Betty Hutton three years later in 1951.

My mother would put this song before I sleep and we would sing it together untill she sad for the last time, "we are not going to hear it again, you have to go to bed... okay, maybe just one more time"...Such good memories
2:32 I love how Bjork exits the frame whilst the camera moves to the double. I love that transition in movies too with the actor/stuntman, something that was devised by stunt arranger Bob Simmons for 007.
When I first listened to this song, I turned up the volume because I couldn't hear it clearly and then she screamed, I was shocked. lol I'm prepared now.
Amazing Bjork 😉 i still remember this from the 90's your so creative! I was so in the moment with your music, please keep bringing your sounds! Luv you Bjork 💓 xx
@Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious metamphetamines you're not looking far at all, culture continues to accelerate - your perceived degeneration of music is unfounded. but by all means, lock yourself in a box and enjoy "the good old days"
I used this as my alarm because it motivated me to switch it off before it got way to loud but now i get ptsd flashbacks to it whenever I listen to bjork normally
@Paul there was a guy by the name of Ricardo Lopez who was crazy obsessed with björk to the point where he became insane when he found out that she was dating someone else. There are a couple videos on UA-cam where you can see the rest of his story. Chilling stuff...
Stenheart She's my neighbor and I live in the building right next door to her in NY on 22nd and she kind of is a bitch. She's cool, but rather socially inept.
Shhhh It's, oh, so quiet It's, oh, so still You're all alone And so peaceful until... You fall in love Zing boom The sky up above Zing boom Is caving in Wow bam You've never been so nuts about a guy You wanna laugh you wanna cry You cross your heart and hope to die 'Til it's over and then Shhh, Shhh It's nice and quiet Shhh, Shhh But soon again Shhh, Shhh Starts another big riot You blow a fuse, zing boom The devil cuts loose, zing boom So what's the use, wow bam Of falling in love It's, oh, so quiet It's, oh, so still You're all alone And so peaceful until... You ring the bell, bim bam You shout and you yell, hi ho ho You broke the spell Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit This guy is "gorge" and I got hit There's no mistake this is it 'Til it's over and then It's nice and quiet Shhh, Shhh But soon again Shhh, Shhh Starts another big riot You blow a fuse Zing boom The devil cuts loose Zing boom What's the use Wow bam Of falling in love The sky caves in The devil cuts loose You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse When you've fallen in love Ssshhhhhh...
I've known about her since she started but never gave her music a second thought until a few days ago when I watched her "Human Behavior" video from Beavis and Butt-head. Then I got her first two albums on mp3 and fell in love with her voice and music...will definitely acquire more albums by her. I definitely want some of her music with the Sugarcubes also.
I love this song and I can’t stop listening to it my parents are getting sick of it but hey I can’t help it this women makes my day puts a smile on my face and makes me want to dance and sing to her music I love this women so much I wish I could meet her in person
Look at the 90s visual craft back then. Omg amazing. Look at the colour composition and tone of the music videos back then. It was magical. Really artsy and all designed for the viewer to be able to sit and listen to the music but also see it. Unreal. I'm almost mellon collie, feeling happy and sad at the same time looking at it.
No nobody get me wrong, cool song, good singer. The quiet parts just always creep me out because I feel like Bjork is sneaking up to murder me. Which is, of course, part of what makes it awesome.
"You've never been nuts about a guy, you wanna laugh, you wanna cry, you cross your heart and hope to die... until it's over." "You blow a fuse, zing boom. The devil cuts loose, zing boom. So what's the use, of falling in love." Ricardo Lopez ...
yo, i’m not gonna lie, first heard this song from the “Ice Princess” when I was a kid, and then heard it from Birds of Prey and was like, “hol’up that song sounds so familiar” and now I remember how much i love this song 😆💓
do you even know what year ice princess was released? djskfdsfsjkdfs i said when i was a kid, and now i'm already an adult sdkjfsdfdfsdfjk i didn't say anything about bjork not being an amazing artist, in fact i'm in awe at her talent and uniqueness as an artist.
***** She went way way earlier and some of the teachers are still there is what I'm talking about... either that or I'm just really good at doing my makeup
I just remembered this song when at school my teacher said "it's oh so quiet" without realising it was the lyrics to a song. I used to love this , I still do!
Ahhh,,, I remember that day. I had a big crush on Bjork and used to follow her everywhere. While disguised in my muffler man outfit waiting outside for her to make her tire purchase and exit the store. I suddenly realized I was in the middle of a music video. I made the best of it and just started dancing. Ahh the good ole days.
she has not copied anyone... cool, ...she is her own person...follows no-one and I love that!! she has intelligence, style, talent, respectful, is unique & not afraid to be herself.
She hasn't copied anyone?. Have you not watched older movies?. I mean, I love here and love her music, but come on. She defiantly gets the inspiration for this song from classic hollywood movies.
.. are you insinuating something? ...do you put your strait-jacket on before you go out the front door? Maybe she doesn't like to. :) Also there is no map to human behaviour. :) and there shouldn't be if we are to grow. self-expression, imagination means less stagnation. have some fun! :)
Anyone here bc Stephanie Soo 🥭

Wtf yeah 🤣

HEYYY
She can go from singing like an angel to screaming like a banshee in a span of nanoseconds!
And I love it!

😖😵😵😵😵😱🥶🤣🤣🤣😵
half abba half yoko ono
Played this to my teenage daughter. It's well before her time of course, but she was blown away! Wonderful stuff.
How do you reckon this version compares to the original?
@RaniaIsAwesome Not even close, lol
@@SundaeRoast It's remarkably similar.
When she screamed “this is it”
-i felt that
A lot of singers today pretend to be unique and weird and artsy. Bjork is the real deal.
They are finding themselves. Sometime, they can't. What's the big deal?
Ye like lady gaga fake weirdness... thats why i dnt buy her crap. Lol
miss october Well I think Lorde can compare to her. I like her weirdness and it's natural... It's rare to find that.
Björk would not approve of this comment.
miss october Yeah... If Bjork hear you saying that she's 'unique, weird and arsty' I'm pretty sure she would punch you in the face
me switching between manic and depressive episodes
and every Bjork song 😁
Dani X I have Bipolar Disorder/Manic Depression, so yes. I can relate lol
Tbh
Tbh
your depressive episodes are peaceful?
I can't help but have a huge grin on my face whenever I see/hear Bjork :))
The crazy thing is no-one knew the cameras were rolling until the clip appeared on MTV. Just another normal Tuesday for Bjork
Funny.
I love the way she screams. Few artists, male or female, really let loose that primal human compulsion like Björk does.
Her crazy singing from her early career like this actually ended up hurting her voice and she had to get surgery.
2011 GAGAG BE LIKE
Michael Jackson did this well, he got it(influenced) from James Brown
check out Pink Floyd-Carefull with that axe, Eugene
Like a klaxon isn't she?
Sounds like a song from a musical that doesn't exist.
Thats Bjork lol
björk's cover is amazing, but she didn't write this song
@@milo7469 Well shit guess I'm retarded.
@@jonm3915 her cover is based on a re arrangement by Betty Hutton, and the original was written by the german Harry Winter.
Good, cause I hate musicals!
The dancing mail box part makes me so happy for some reason
Apart from the screaming, I can imagine Sinatra singing this song. Always loved this as a child because it had that big band sound to it paired with Bjorks eccentricity. And that's what made it so amazing. The old met the new.
The original title is "Blow A Fuse" and it's from 1948, written by Hans Lang and Bert Reisfeld and originally sung by Betty Hutton.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how synchronize the backup dancers are?
2:38 can we talk about how impressive that stunt was

I was wayyyy too young to appreciate this classic! What a brilliant song!
Haven't heard this in years, lovely song
I havent heard this song for at least 18 years
I love her voice so much
I love bjork music and her videos, amazing artist
2020 and we are still falling in love. Because it is oh so quiet. Lol. This song and video is still absolutely brilliant
Shhhh
It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...
You fall in love
Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then
Shhh, Shhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse, zing boom
The devil cuts loose, zing boom
So what's the use, wow bam
Of falling in love
It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...
You ring the bell, bim bam
You shout and you yell, hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is "gorge" and I got hit
There's no mistake this is it
'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet

Check out Sugar Cubes :D
I've been looking for this song for years!!!!!!!!!!
Björk is amazing and no one can tell me otherwise
This is by far my favorite music video of all time. When she does those three little jumps on the car my heart melts
This song is to cry or to laugh. This song is to live or to die.
Bjork did it better than ever in a time music was lost but not as lost as today.
Thank god there's Radiohead and Steven Wilson.
Simply Magic....... A master Piece......
This is her most theatrical Bjork song, and that’s saying a lot
How do you reckon this version compares to the original?
idk what it is but I love her voice soooo much it's oh so addictive
She's 30 in this video and her son was 9 already by that time. It's mind-boggling to me for some reason.
MrMinusguy she looks really young and is really energetic in the video maybe thats why😂
She looks 14
30 IS young.
I love this song and I can’t stop listening to it my parents are getting sick of it but hey I can’t help it this women makes my day puts a smile on my face and makes me want to dance and sing to her music I love this women so much I wish I could meet her in person
Pure joy. Thank you Bjork!

+Garth St.Claire: Well, the original version by Betty Hutton from 1951 WAS the B-side to her single "Murder, He Says."
It does sound like the sort thing a ninja should be singing while sneaking up on the target.
