Definitely one of my all-time favorite videos from one of the artists that could equal or even surpass the weirdness of Lady Gaga. However, thankfully, she never became mainstream, because I wouldn't want to share Bjork's music and talent with the parlorista next door or an 18 year old gay man who are all raving about the Gaga. Sadly, I missed her concert in HK the other year for which the Chinese government forever banned her to perform in Chinese soil. Yes, there were many weird singers before Lady Gaga, they just didn't do catchy pop songs. They stuck to their own vision and their own schtick! And the good thing is, this video is just the tip of the Björk iceberg. I could rattle of several songs and their videos which really shaped my own personal weirdness - from Joga to It's Oh So Quiet to Hyperballad to All Is Full Of Love! The list can go on and on.
