Infos
Reprise d’une chanson de 1948 de Betty Hutton “Blow a Fuse”.
« C’est Guy Sigsworth, un des collaborateurs occasionnels de Björk, qui lui fait découvrir l’original de Hutton, dont elle tombe immédiatement amoureuse, au point de vouloir l’interpréter à tout prix même si “la reprise d’une vieille chanson va à l’encontre de mes principes, parce que je suis très antirétro”. » Ian Gettins
Björk à propos du titre
In a way it was against my principles to do an old cover-version because i’m so antiretro. But it has that story, this narrative : there’s a beginning and something happens in the middle and the ending is different.
So many pop songs, especially in English lyrics, are just 900 different ways of saying ’She lft me !’.
Which I actually love because it’s pop, just one idea, very simple, it doesn’t mean it’s cheap.
Or 10 different ways of saying ’Celebrate !’ or ’You’re sexy !’ for three minutes. I can relate to that. Not that one forme is betther than the other. But just that I belong to the story-telling group.
