Sing me out, Björk . . .
Sometimes there are songs that stick with me because I can't quite wrap my head around them. It took me awhile it get into this song and even after I did I still at times find myself thinking that Bjork's vocals are a bit bizarre, but at the same time I'm fascinated be them. How does she bloody do that!? LOL
while it is yes THAT DAY this song was a favorite for so long I'm tempted to make this my eternal jam...

#7 in the 7" vinyl discovery trip. Something a little different - According to Björk, "Birthday" is a "tasteless pop song" about a five-year-old girl who has a love affair with the man next door, who is celebrating his fiftieth birthday

Had this stuck in my head for the past couple of days now, which is an interesting experience since the chorus isn’t so much words as sounds. If there has ever been a better song to lip synch dramatically at a darkened bus stop, I haven't heard it.
love to hear lyrics sung in languages other than English periodically.
