Björk - Do you laugh at Farts? 1993 HD 

​@Andrew Balletto So what would you have named it?

the real question is: do you fart at laughs :-)

Hey, uploader! You recorded this from way back in 1993?

@@jbak87 Yes I did

@@ScottishTeeVee Fantastic! I love it from Malaysia here.

haha nah, she definitely went through accent phases. It seems like she consciously changed her accent over the years. She sounds pretty English here. In other videos she has a very heavy English accent, for a handful of years after her initial big success. Then eventually she slowly went back to sounding Icelandic. It might also change depending on who she's talking too, which isn't uncommon for some bilingual speakers. Seems like something Bjork would do, so obsessed with aesthetic.

@@JunkBondTrader I know but I meant on the spot. Like she instantly changed it halfway through the interview

I noticed her switch to Icelandic when she spoke about her mother & grandmother. I've heard it can be hard for bilingual people to discuss a memory or story in their new language/accent. Sort of like the brain processed it one way, and that's the way it naturally comes back out.

I noticed it too !

@@JunkBondTrader um. Lol shes not obsessed w aesthetic she was just an icelander living in the uk. When you live somrwhere for long your accent starts to change so her icelandic and uk accents are melding together.

Amen to that ! I looked up the phrase "cutie pie" in my dictionary & her photo was there !!

She’s almost otherworldly. She’s also a f*cking genius.

Welcome to Bangkok

@@giovannicardoso2070 don’t get f*cked up

You forgot talented

very well put

Makes me wonder if they would have asked a man the same questions.....

I agree. When he asked "Do you know what farts are?" I just wanted to scream. So condescending. As if she hadn't proved already that her English is excellent. What a douche he is!

@@steveforbes9302 they did. it’s like a whole bit

@@aracewi I kinda doubt they asked a dude what colour knickers he’s wearing...

Not at all

She’s singing Spanish on Arcas new album!

Still adorable

@@acornhousepear4483 no argument here bud

@@momo-chanthegerbil6205 oh pls shut up sis

I know ! I almost fell off my chair laughing !

She's not as alive as she used to be.

@@jeremywvarietyofviewpoints3104 When you come right down to it, I suppose none of us are....

She was speaking of Sonja Hine, right?

@@bbrown333 I'm not sure, actually

I know!

Not really

And all the awful lads mags...

It was shit, wasn't it??

I'm sorry. I'd go back to the 90's any day.

Yep. I just learned this year that men and women are different! Crazy isn't it?

@@GrandmasterofWin yes only women have sex 🤗🤗🤗

I know, sexism is such a joke and so is that full of crack man who can’t pronounce her name. Your right, totally

@@eandrscrazymonkeygang770 he was pronouncing it right

The whole bit with him pushing to know if she's "ever fancied a girl" is so fucking cringe now but THIRTY YEARS ago this is what society in the UK was like back then, being gay was still hidden away and girls fancying girls was something that was giggled at. It's fucking cringe now but we've come a long way relatively quickly... thank fuck.

Björk is from 21 nov 1965.

@@jeshkam 58 today :)

For you? She seems to be having fun.

I found it to be delightfully awkward, but I think that's because he has the same brand of awkwardness as me lol

I thought it was quirky! hah

Yup. And the presenter thought he was nailing this

Just for you lmao

Iceland watches a lot of British television and film. The U.K. is pretty much the closest place to Iceland. And I believe she spent a lot of time there throughout her life.

I noticed that her Icelandic accent became a lot more prominent when she started talking about her mother and grandmother.

Much prefer her Icelandic accent.

I hope you've seen the movie with Bjork called the juniper tree it's heartbreaking but you would like the Raven with his sack sack rhyme among many moments in that film

@@lynseldest3597 Yeah...interesting.

cockney is great!! i speak it too a bit tho mate..

the whole sentence she says at :26 is said with a London accent hahaha

You can hear a bit of a cockney twang.. lol x

I noticed that too! She was living in London at the time.

Lol but I could tell he was super nervous but he played it off well and I like his dry humor

She’s a literal cheese ball in that outfit

He did a fine job on MTV's Most Wanted

@@baby.goblin Ray Cokes nervous ?? Of what ,because of Bjork that nobody knew who she is at the time ?? LOL LOL , Ray had much bigger stars in his show than Bjork ,nervous ?? yeah right . Maybe next time is better for you to actually watch his show before commenting stupid things .At this time he was a bigger star than Bjork.

Damn, you mad as fuck and confrontational for nothing but ok.

Best song of hers, awesome movie. :)

Trust me, not everyone can tell. That guy acts like a sleeze ball.

Better questions than the chase

Who was the second?

@@GianniEndo non-famous :)

I had a good crush on her too

Ditto

Early 2000s a gf and I made that entirely theoretical list of famous people we would be allowed to sleep with...I think we had 4-5 each but I only remember Bjork, Meg White, and I think Salma Hayek...

Holy Moses you aren't kidding! Crazy.

Really cool. She mentally goes back to Iceland when talking about home or early memories and goes full Cockney when talking about international things.

no she doesn't switch from one to the other. This is her accent at this time.

her accent is a weirdly wonderful breed of both

Why? We got another anti-sex feminist here? Are you a TERF too?

@@DSPHistoricalSociety you’re under every comment that’s related to the interviewer’s stupid questions why the fuck did you get so butthurt, lol you pathetic creep

the questions in these interviews are always so wierd i have to prepare myself before watching 😭

I certainly have a notion to second that emotion !! :-)

She was 27 though. But she looked like a teenager with the knots. 🤣🤣🤣

Björk had short hair at 20. She looked like a boy.

Nah man she's aged a bit, as of today she's in her 50s

@@momo-chanthegerbil6205 55 now

This interview aged like milk. yet she age like wine 👑

U just jealous boi

yeah he is creepy

Ya His jokes became irrelevant quicker than he did.

It's Ray Cokes. He is funny, not creepy. Have you heard about humour?

🤣

I know that's a rabbit hole.. well fart hole 😄

And to think she knew which ones were bad. I thought I was the only asshole that freaked out when I was a little too wet

*farrrts

Indubitably !!

I can't argue with that

@@filip2276 no cursive is what halsey speaks

@@pjmlemon3280 dont forget ellie goulding

@@filip2276 British??

Foreshadowing!

😭😭😭

just her pronounciation of the word is out of this world

She's way past 50.

Never stop. Can’t stop. Won’t stop.

and she's not fat as she said

@@wisteria6656 not at all

Was? IS.

Google has a pic of her shaking hands w/ Hitler

@@vincentdisanto8544 Oops

@@vincentdisanto8544 That´s hot!

she's the girl who Bjork fancied?

You're projecting a lot here, dude

or maybe just had one line too many before the show......

He was like that all the time, i think it's his stage persona according to what was funny back in the 90's. I watched his episodes with Blur and he acts the same way.

Ray Cokes is a legend, what are you even talking about?

Ye

He's still active on facebook and RU-vid, does live streams from time to time..

@@ScottishTeeVee He's also active on Belgian TV often.

@@bouledeberlin8741 I did not know that. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

? I'm confused. Why is that odd? It's pretty normal for people to switch around as they go outside their comfort zone, learning new words

@@tinyspyro8163 Not really, tho.

@@JamesBrown4ever1 "not really tho" - stats, studies, anything? Unless you have something definitive, its your anecdotal experience against mine. I have been an expat for almost a decade, living in several countries - often in expat communities - and it was never unusual for people to switch back and forth between their native accent and foreign accents. Sometimes a person will even "adopt" the accent of the person they are speaking to, either out of habit, courtesy or for the fun of it.

@@tinyspyro8163 you seem uptight

not really odd but interesting. she said in an interview that she learnt English watching movies so she's obviously picked up a bunch of different accents/dialects

Thanks for watching and commenting Michael

SAME

because in 90s we weren't so paranoid about sexuality as people now

@@fiuttello um okay? i just have a bad memory but K...

@@fiuttello Facts. Even in the comments on this video, you can see how quick people are to get offended.

I kept everything I recorded. As I sit at my desk typing right now, there's 2000 videotapes, on shelves right behind me, floor to ceiling, wall to wall, just music recordings from TV, camcorders etc. Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment.

In 2020

Not just the question, but what he said afterwards jesus christ. “White’s dangerous you could shit yourself” smooth, dude.

Everything about this guy is cringe lol

@@killjoy1056 no, loved his humour a lot

@@wujBat Lol youre the only one

Same here :-)))

It's from the period she dated Goldie, she picked his accent up

Glad you found this. Ray is on Facebook, there are Facebook pages dedicated to him and his wonderful TV shows. Thanks for watching and commenting, good to hear from a viewer in Slovakia.

I loved Most Wanted as a child, even though I barely understood any English! but he was having so much fun. kind of like Craig Ferguson later.

Shut up, this whole interview was terrible and I felt like bjork had been tricked into doing it. A complete joke...

A fax machine, questions more from viewers

@@ScottishTeeVee Alright :)

Our pleasure!

@@ScottishTeeVee Your kind reply is like manna from Heaven ! Thanks again & stay safe !! :-)

you mean 27 years LOL xP

i want to see her singing in spanish :(

@@helenagutierrez284 haven't you heard "afterwards" on arca's album?

And an over load of cuteness

Except satellite tv in 1993 was pretty frickin expensive.

You have to be aware of the year this was taken, 1993.

oh yeah they're so primative their cononvirus death rates are the smallest in the world....usa take notice.....

@@junglie The last american vagabond back up has some interesting vids about covid. They mention certain countries that don't have alot of deaths.

@@CourtTV. They'd be the ones ran by people of intellegence & a bit of compassion then, like new zealand for instance or south korea.......

Absolutely
