Friday Afternoon Videos: ‘It’s Oh So Quiet’
May 30th, 2008 at 03:15pm Will Pfeifer
Continuing in the vein of acclaimed directors making music videos, here’s Spike Jonzes’ take on Bjork’s cover of the old hit song, “It’s Oh So Quiet.” He brings a cheery, energetic old musical feel to the clip, and paces it really well — the contrast between the slower, more downbeat choruses and the burst-of-enthusiasm chorus is a lot of fun. Plus, I’m a sucker for moments when dancers run up walls, like Bjork (or a stuntperson?) does at the 2:38 mark.
Enjoy. This one’s a blast.

What nationality is Bjork (if that’s her real name)?
The answer: Icelandic, but that doesn’t cover why she looks so weird. No offense “Bjork” but what’s the deal?
