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

"In a way it was against my principles to do an old cover version because I'm so anti-retro. But it has this story, this narrative: there's a beginning and something happens in the middle and the ending is different. So many pop songs, especially with English lyrics, are just 900 different ways of saying 'she left me!' Which I actually love because it's pop, just one idea, very simple, but it doesn't mean it's cheap. I can relate to it, but I belong to the storytelling group."

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.
Christy Hardy
Just looked it up because you totally piqued my interest with this info.
According to a (I think) producer present that day, our girl was SICK WITH A FEVER!?! and could only whisper on set that day 🤯
She booked a 3 hour session at the studio. Walked in with 15 min of that session left... Ran through it twice & viola...
🤯🤩🤩🤩 Flippin hooow??
Raw talent that one. Not a huge fan or anything but I love this song and her voice and vibe are amazing. Raw talent & a love for the craft I guess. Crazy.

Bjork is a legend, shes always been unique and extremely talented.
Lucky Lily

I really like this song, but she had to be racist.
