Sugarcubes - Birthday

[Dehzee]

The lyrics of this song are speaking of a 5 year old with her neighbour guy knowing where all her freckles are, while she plays with his beard. It ends with the two of them together in the bath, a chain of flowers? This song sounds cool, but the lyrics are beyond creepy.

[whisper0in0water]

I love this song !

[SeafloorReunion]

So fucking good! I miss college! (1993)

[SeafloorReunion]

Love

[AlexiaAnthem]

What the hell is the first seconds of the video? Really you couldn't edit them out?

[jonahbrooke]

@AlexiaAnthem see the excellent 80's movie weird science... or oingo boingo (they did the original song for the movie) :)

[fsmorel123]

i still can't relate to bjork no matter how hard i try :( she was different with her voice going from singing out to falsetto but that wasn't new.. siouxie and the banshees was already doing that in addition to sinead o'connor was a better singer all the way around :(

[stevepartlow]

such great music and she is so beautiful

[blaztradiouz666]

first time iv ever found a unibrow cute.

[lanatoala]

lo maximo n_n

[lovechyleable]

This was bjorks finest hour

[HellField04]

Pure artist.

[bajuriphd]

god damn it!!! why has this so been beuatiful? her voice like matches all albums she made..

[AtotheNtotheYtotheA]

She's got such an amazing voice! It's like nothing else.

[CHANCNAVY88]

she scares me but ... i like it

[mjuliand23]

this vid sums up how great she is.

[xoxomiiLah]

how old was she?

[FallenxInxLovexBOTDF]

like the song until someone said its aboutmolestation?! wth?

and laughing at @IgneCorvis and @Drunkdrag 's comments...XD

but explain the part where this song is about molesting?

[MsKatMays]

@FallenxInxLovexBOTDF In an interview she cleared this up; someone suggested the part where the man's "sewing a bird into her knickers" and the sections leading up to it suggest a sex-based relationship between the two. She went on to say that it was kind of a song about when she was younger and her first sense of attraction to a man; completely innocent but with certain elements to it that she didn't appriciate until she was older, but not about molestation. sry, cant find the interview.

[FallenxInxLovexBOTDF]

@MsKatMays oh ok

[JeanNormalFrust]

esse vid foi postado na data do meu niver :P

[elfredo70]

She's a victim of ADHD!!=)



[blaztradiouz666]

@elfredo70 Awesomeness Deprivation (in) High Definition!!

[fourmations]

class, shivers all over



[fourmations]

class



[braksuper]

ME ENAMORE

[fetborsted]

A vocal genius.

[56BUICKRiviera]

I saw them in 88 i think. It wasnt that crowded in the nightclub. It was easy to walk to the front of the stage and gaze into her eyes

[dontcarejeezwtf]

gosh she is so pretty and wonderful :daydream:

[aeropilot]

Love this innocent period in Bjork's career ... wow, what a voice, very unusual and I really like the growling too, quite sexy!

[DIANDRASPIE]

amazing.... i love it...

[SKOTP69]

Yes!

[phonemonkey3]

Amazing.



[slapdadfish]

I purchased two albums in 1988 that totally blew me away, Janes Addiction's Nothings Shocking and The Sugarcubes Life's too good.

[harmonym1967]

@gravityax. I went to show this to my 8 year old daughter and instead of being exposed to some beautiful music, she wants to know what your comment means. Do you want to have to be the one to tell her? When you die, and I hope it's painful prolonged and soon. Your own parents, grandparents and other relitives will see in in the afterlife and spit in your face, you worthless crass pig. You are scum of the earth. Dig?

[whitestripebuzz]

@harmonym1967 Wow. That is way over the top.

[Eyeballsx317537]

@whitestripebuzz Just a little, don't you think? I admittedly cannot find the comment made that set off that reaction. But, perhaps they might want to explain what their own comment means to their 8 year old daughter at the same time....

Jesus....

[Jahme88]

@harmonym1967 Do you need a hug?

[mattew0113]

@harmonym1967 you know he just said he didnt like the song dude

[wheelofmasks]

@harmonym1967 I went to show this to my five year old daughter, and instead of being exposed to some beautiful music, she wants to know what "spit in your face, you worthless crass pig" means, which is far worse than anything @gravityax said.

Actually, I don't have a kid at al, which is good, because the song is about a molestation, Bjork has herself said as much, and playing it for your daughter is absolutely freaking twisted.

[EmmaYaBasta]

goodness, those lungs. pure sex appeal.

[CristiamMartin]

mas linnndaaaaa

[0menv0x]

this is f*cking awesome!!!!

[bbow73]

man... she's like a living anime character

[russellfoureyes]

Excellent...pity this was the only great thing they did...I blame Einar...

[gonzlobos]

Qué bonita canción *.*

[BoysLikeMeee]

Bjork's got to be in her mid to late 40's now. Still beautiful and singing like a powerful angel! She's got some Inuit heritage I believe, it gives her kind of an Asian or Eskimo look. Her voice is absolutely amazing.

[gunkittie]

I love this song!!



[thedayitriedtodie]

bjork is trippin on acid so hard here....

[GARYINLEEDS]

This was the first time I ever fell in Love with a Woman because of her voice!!! The Voice reveals such emotional truth, She is perfect and if I were a stalker, she would be bombarded with flowers and soft pink chocolate hearts. A true Icelandic Gem of a Singer of this Song. May all her dreams and wishes come true. Wales Forever!

[GARYINLEEDS]

This was the first time I ever fell in Love with a Woman because of her voice!!!

[MsPupie]

I miss the 90's....i really do.....well the music

[mamamcqueen]

She looks like a porcelain doll. She's beautiful. :)

[phefferi]

Damn she is cute here!

[phobiazzzero]

amazing

[winterslullaby]

is this supposed to be talent?

[elmundodefer]

I've just put the "like" number 2000!

[ryuuzaki002]

Is it wrong that this gave me a boner?

[Vulpes217]

Full of love and light.

[AlmaMontiel]

Yo si entiendo porque hay gente que se vuelve loca por ella!

[gzuz1010]

awesome voice!

[distefanio22]

i would definitly fuck her brains out:X:X:X:X:X:X

[xXBronzedBalletXx]

@distefanio22 lol. She's 45 now, but don't worry. I would too if I were a man.

I just love how she does whatever she wants on stage, like no one's watching.

[SH1974]

@xXBronzedBalletXx Doesit matter how old she is now?

Listen her new album, mate -

and if You don't get a boner of this

You're female or You are dead. :)

[arnoldlane68]

@SH1974 I'm gay and I did get a boner

[imrichbiotch]

Björk -3. She's so adorable.

[fundies2]

there are 42 dislikes on this. how could someone NOT like this.

[chromeNRG]

oh man, i wish i was doing this when I was a teen. what a shame. i coulda shoulda woulda.

[TwoFatNuts]

Someone please tell me how to download this version of the song!  Youtube downloader wont rip it for me :<

[sneekz07]

@TheJunkietrunk She isn't wearing braces.

[scotthayes79]

i love bjork

[MsLuLove]

only one word to describe the way she sings:

BJORK!

[scoobychris01]

bjorks amazing, but really wise that bloke didn't say anything, really let the song down for me, but just my opinion,

[scoobychris01]

@scoobychris01

wrong vid lol sorry

[crushingalldeceivers]

It is evident that bjork is possessed with an inner need to sing and does not do it because she necessarily wants to but because she has too.

[fay1684]

I love this song, but the best performance of this is definately the Saturday Night Live version.

[JoyDivisiongirl]

@fay1684 where can i find it? i've tried looking but i cannot find it anywhere....thanks for any info...i love her so much :)

[fay1684]

@JoyDivisiongirl Hey sorry for the late reply. Hit google and type in the "sugarcubes snl".  its on the sight titlled Muziek & Entertainment, 123 video.

[figlopdan840822]

@fay1684 Can't find it on youtube, where you saw it? I never saw them on SNL.

[fay1684]

@figlopdan840822 Hey! Go to google and type in "the sugarcubes snl". Its on the sight titlled Muziek & Entertainment, 123 video.

[xanadu4463]

Odd phrasing isn's normal

But with Bjork it is.

Bjork not even once...

[gravityax]

I am currently trying to hit the back button while squinting in pain from her squawky voice. >.<

[gravityax]

@taylorbortnerathing I'm sure I will never recover from that insult. Please note my sarcasm.

[dunkdrag]

@gravityax 'FUCK YOU' is not an insult, it could be a request, suggestion or a demand. 'FUCK YOU, YOU BELL END' is an insult. 

[IgneCorvis]

@dunkdrag whats a bell end?

[dunkdrag]

@IgneCorvis It is the end of a penis.

[ecasta321]

NO NO NO Fuck You...

[johnbarry1965]

@taylorbortnerathing It seems wrong for the F word to appear anywhere near the divine Princess of Bjork!!

[kayashiva]

@johnbarry1965 i agree ;-D

[PikiruMuzu]

@gravityax you obviously have no taste in music at all.

[leedumett444]

bjork has a real unique style, proper talent.

[genegenie29]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO, AND MOSTLY THE SONG!

[tretastellar]

Ah this song pushes me up to the state of emergency! I love it madly!

[heber810]

stupid fucking intro almost ruins this perfect and amazing video and no I do not care about weird science I was like 1 when that shit came out...

[antnybeard]

she's/was gorgeous back then. still aint bad now.

[Neinir]

@antnybeard don't say that please , she's not bad but she is a little bit different ... it's normal :)

( sorry for my english i'm french >< )

[antnybeard]

@Neinir no, im saying she's good! and pretty!

[Neinir]

[anjin66]

[prgvidiot]

I just can't listen to Bjork solo material after Life's Too Good, sorry

[sneekz07]

@prgvidiot So you missed out on the awesomeness that is Post and Homogenic?

Good one.

[sidDkid87]

Bjork is beautiful!!!

[nelly712002]

wow 37 people with no taste

[llodot2j]

It sucks

[eashley66]

I have been in love with this song since it's release in '88, and I swear it gets better every day !

[bagariddum]

as good live as it is on the album = class

[tretastellar]

Unearthy OOOOOHHOOU!

[catflipper]

36 people have no taste in music

[crushingalldeceivers]

Love this song for a very long time

[anjin66]

OMG i forgot just how good this is, it still sounds fantastic allthese years later :))

[starrfadeable]

bjork is like a child with silly giggles and glitter she fills your soul had to listen to this song since its my birthday

[Neequu78]

Looooooove

[boogiepop14mc]

This song makes me cry, gosh i'm in public right now too.

[devolve42]

fap fap fap fap fap fap fap

[krazejim1]

so cute

[moz85214]

Love the early Bjork... not the crazy woman at the Japanese (?) airport a few years ago. But I do love this song and I remember seeing them open for PIL and New Order in the late haties in Park City, UT. I still have a large horizontal "NO" concert tee from that show. God, I'm getting old :(

[Android18uk]

@moz85214 That reporter probably had it coming. It may have looked crazy on the surface, but i'm sure there was more going on there.

[catflipper]

@moz85214 That Chinese broad deseved it. She was badgering Bjork for days, and need a beat down.

[MsAmore92]

never gets old!

[deliciousmorton]

they're smoking seagulls.

[bkevbush1]

id forgotton how good she was she really gives it her all



[sunnyjadeful]

this is my favorite song since i was sixteen and i accidentally hit the dislike button wtf

[BlitzoftheReich]

@sunnyjadeful don't worry we know the song made you jizz too hard ;)

[winirock]

I love you so much, Sugarcubes!!! (Bjork)

[KaxxxE]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[auto2905]

thanks



[BahaVII]

this song is the soundtrack to the last month of my life...prolly the rest too.

[kiRakiRa258]

hell! >< i love bjork

[ajuk1]

This is the best song ever written about a paedophile, aha!

[cgbaldwin]

2:50 Happy Bday Wendle!

[CrackersCrackEasily]

She's so beautiful, and she sings straight from her soul.

[ranhound]

I love watching her sing!

[Grogalicious]

It's always puzzled me why anyone would intentionally look something up then give it a thumbs down. Philistines.

[CrackersCrackEasily]

Just stumbled upon this song and that has to be the best stumble I have ever made.

[icucmetoo1]

@CrackersCrackEasily so you found some awsome music,,,there awsome she is the bomb ,,,voice ,,looks...it,s just bjork

[jogeakatsuki]

God, her voice give me creeps

[xinjinbei]

2:41 Is she praying or is she just touching herself for great justice?

[baxydriver]

Bjork at her most pure. Raw talent captured early in her career with the wonderful sugarcubes. I had many fantasies about her as a teenager in the late 80's. This is from the live zabor video. Really cool live tracks and video and individual bits by members of the group including bjork comparing a tv to a city. Priceless!

[screamolives]

How old was bjork here?

[TheNOLAMITE76]

if only she could sing it to me personally.

[ChairZomg]

@TheNOLAMITE76 Early-mid twenties i believe.

[GyntherMeyer]

Probably because it is Bjork. ;-)

[shiftingparadigms]

looks and sounds like bjork!

[Jewelz4208]

@shiftingparadigms -All sarcasm aside- Yes, before she was a solo artist, Bjork was in this little band called the Sugarcubes. Worth checking out:-)

[katmisa]

who the fuck cares if anyone was into an artist before anyone else?! i'm tired of bullshit like that. Grow the fuck up! what matters is that you experienced them at least once in your life.

[denpunk666mitsos]

Bought this on 7" vinyl when I was a wee boy. I'm 43 now and not so wee.

[edupn2008]

this makes me wish I had born in 70's.....

[silverpizza100]

I WAS INTO bJORK BEFORE ANY OF YOU, fyi.

oNE OF MY FAVES ,

[Jewelz4208]

@silverpizza100 Oooo, do you want your "Indy-Pop Aging Hipster/Old Geezer Award" to be forged from the bullshit of your self-importance, or the sweat of your insecurity? Perhaps a bit of both?

[taj1772]

How can such a tiny lil thing have such a BIG voice?? Bjork is amazing!!!

[superjules]

We can thank Don Cherry for the trumpet stylings. For better or worse...

[yambaggie]

Can I have a bjork and Robyn sandwich please?

[k358159]

@yambaggie A sandwich of Bjork and Robyn. What would be the point? You wouldn't be able to taste Robyn! Bjork would totally overpower her.

Bjork is Tabasco

Robyn is Lettuce

[009esan]

This song is amazing!!! Words fail me... but it's a surreal song that captivates in illusions and bends thoughts at it whim...

It is like no other!!!!

[mathpatti]

She makes me Crazy!

[SupernalOne]

ooh, I love the little snarly face she makes when driving her voice to sound fierce -

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Man I got to get into this kind of music. Portishead, Bjork, stuff like that immediantley.

[dreadnegast13]

The mars volta covering this beauty song so nice.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

The lyrics to this song are Pedo Bear approved. The Sugarcubes ruled. I love her solo stuff too, but this was Bjork at her best.

[1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

Bjork!!!!!!!! She is the sexiest woman alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just amazed that she can keep your attention by just standing in front of a camera. I love watching her perform. I have never seen another woman that is as interesting to watch as she is. There is just something about her that slays me. I freakin' love her to no end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! She just has to know that she is like that! Bjork is something else, even now!

[talon1313]

Her voice....amazing, the music awesome...This was one of thier best performances, could listen to this over and over, she looks forever young in this video

[gfxdsigner]

OMG her mouth is having sex with the mic.. her voice is Rooooaring! damn!

[Louiswin]

Bjork is so damn cute in this video and he voice is amazing!!
