There’s been a brief lull in music-dom’s geyser, so we’ve hearkened back to our first introduction to Bjork via the Sugarcubes’ fantastic performance of all-time favorite song Birthday on Saturday Night Live in 1988 (the studio version/official-video for the song is at bottom). Oh how that girl/woman can sing (Bjork turns 50 years old in a couple months). And then, in contrast with the uber-seriousness of those Sugarcubes, watch Kristen Wiig’s hilarious send-up of Bjork on SNL a decade later following the tragic Icelandic Recession. “How is your skeleton?” Indeed. How does Seth Meyers not break? Impressive, and entirely too funny. OK, that’s enough nostalgia for a while. Back to the matters at hand.
