It's Oh So Quiet
Björk Lyrics
It's oh so quiet
Shh shh
It's oh so still
Shh shh
You're all alone
Shh shh
And so peaceful until
You fall in love
Zing boom
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You want to laugh you want to cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then
Shh shh
It's nice and quiet
Shh shh
But soon again
Shh shh
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
Shh shh
But soon again
Shh shh
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 your fuse
When you've fallen in love
Shh

“It’s Oh So Quiet” features on Björk’s third studio album "Post", and was released as the album’s third single. It is a cover of Betty Hutton’s 1951 song of the same title (which was in turn a cover of the German song “Und jetzt ist es still”) and is Björk’s biggest mainstream hit.
The video’s aesthetic (directed by Spike Jonze) is very reminiscent of musical movies such as "West Side Story", or "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (the video is actually based on the latter).

It’s worth noting that five years later, Björk actually starred in such a movie. She had the lead role in Lars Von Trier’s musical drama "Dancer In The Dark".

Björk could strut backwards onto a stage and still out-sing anyone in the venue. Hutton's version is still the best though.
Christy Hardy
@Dimples Jenkins I saw that as well. I'm curious about the original... But I'm selfishly devoted to the nostalgia (one of those rare works that's more of an experience to me vs just a good song).
No offense to Betty, sure she did great. Eventually I'll cave, I'm sure. But for now, going to unjustly assume Bjork probably took that one from her.
Scary Hours
Bjork is a legend, shes always been unique and extremely talented.
Dean take
She's before Sia🤫

@Youngin Parra really? What do u mean?
Youngin Parra
I really like this song, but she had to be racist.
