Bjork

[Stop_the_War]

I have never listened to her music and I was wondering what people here thought of her?

[terrya]

1. Ugh.

I've tried to like her. I really have. But ugh...

[southpaw]

2. Definitely not for the masses...

The musical equivalent of balut

[Stop_the_War]

3. what's balut?

[southpaw]

8. Read...

4. Bring on the Swedish Chef copycat threads ..

[Kurovski]

5. "Human Behavior"

is simply terrific.

I have a Friend who is convinced she's an alien.

From another planet.

I like her.

[Stop_the_War]

6. an alien? LOL

[Kurovski]

9. Yes, my friend saw her on a talk show

and bjork was asked about a tattoo she has.

She responded that it was to help her figure out where she was. Like a compass, or something like that.

99% convinced.

Alien.

10. I googled "bjork is an alien" and found some interesting things..

These are lyrics of her song "Chihuahua":

Bow-wow
Chi-hua-hua-hua-hua-hua!
Dog, bad dog, bad dog, best dog
Bow-wow-wow-wow-wow
Chi-hua-hua-hua-hua-hua!

It were aliens who started this green popularity
Sure were aliens

They are green
Want everything
Green and brown
No mistake
New demand
Will be made
All must be green
Everything

When they land
The aliens would be made the laughing stock of Planet Earth
They are green
They intend
To occupy
Planet Earth
They have green
Want everything
Green and brown

11. Hmmm. Is it time for Bjork to be called

before the Homeland Security Tribunal?

[Stop_the_War]

13. Haha LOL

15. Lyrics to "Human Behavior"

"If you ever get close to a human

And human behaviour

Be ready to get confused

There's definitely no logic

To human behaviour

But yet so irresistible

There's no map

To human behaviour

They're terribly moody

Then all of a sudden turn happy

But, oh, to get involved in the exchange

Of human emotions is ever so satisfying

There's no map

And a compass

Wouldn't help at all

Human behaviour"

-I think Karl Rove & Co. took these lyrics to heart and set about the challenge of creating a map once and for all.

7. She makes a really ugly swan.

:shrug:

[Kurovski]

17. I always thought it was her comment on wearing dead animals.

But maybe it was a reference to "Leda and the Swan", wherein Zeus takes the form of a swan to--of all things--get it on with Leda.

But who really knows with that Bjork kid? :shrug:

Ya' know, if we let swans and mythical Greek characters get together, soon lesbians in poughkeepsie will want to be adopting children together. Where will it all end?

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. I think she's great...

but I am weird, so you may not want to trust my opinion.

[Chalco]

14. There was a fabulous article in the New Yorker about her

several months ago. Check it out. She's definitely intriguing.

[Mike Niendorff]

16. love her voice, could live without the techno schtick.

The whole over-the-top-techno-industrial thing that she does is just so contrived, and yet she really does have a standout voice. I'd love to see her really move into a more reality-based and jazz-like sound, but I'm not holding my breath. Oh well.

18. Ok, I downloaded a few of her songs off of Kazaa and I have to say...

Good music, But BAD VOICE. In fact, TERRIBLE VOICE. Her music would be much better if they got rid of the vocals and just kept the music!

[Blue_In_AK]

19. I like her myself, but she's a little strange. n/t

[Blue-Jay]

20. "Bjork" is the noise I make over the toilet when I've have too much wine.

Her music sounds very similar.
