This is a cover of a Joni Mitchell song that I went waaaaayy too long without knowing existed. not my favorite Bjork song by far but totally beautiful to hear if you love Joni too <3<3
Originally by Betty Hutton. I love the story of why Bjork covered this song and included it in her second album: Her and her band discovered Betty and this song in a truck shop, and they decided that this would be their pre-game song before every show.
Her Grammy performance isn’t online but this one from the Newport Folk Festival is. I think the age in her voice really adds to the meaning of the song
This song makes me think about walking around in the street when I’m drunk and happy. It’s weird and poppy and perfect for an opening montage to a 90s sitcom. We love Yoko!!!
I can’t listen to this song in front of other people- the vocals sound like they’re being sang by an animatronic cowgirl. Its a really weird find, but the lyrics are too well written to be cringe, and the melody is realll catchy. Her album Greasepaint Smile is unironically very beautiful though :-)
