About this song
The song appears on Björk's third studio album, Post, and was released as its third single. It is a cover of Betty Hutton's 1951 song of the same title, which was itself a cover of the German song "Und jetzt ist es still". The music video was directed by Spike Jonze and is based on The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, reminiscent of musicals like West Side Story. It became Björk's biggest mainstream hit.
