Eccentric Flower talk:200906/An Ideal Curtain Raiser

Iain:

Strangely enough, I actually happen to have Betty Hutton singing that song. I think they must have relabeled the song on some albums after Bjork's version took off, since it's called "It's Oh So Quiet" on mine. I knew that Bjork's version was a cover, and I wanted to see what the original was like. Betty Hutton's version is actually more painful in headphones than Bjork's, which is saying something. Not painful because it's bad, you understand, but because headphones just can't cope with the volume swing. Make a man deef, it will.

Oh, yeah, I could see how listening in headphones would be ... startling.
