A good start, then a downfall. Typical for Spike Jonze it seems, and it's a real shame. The cat-sized cat is surreal, cute and funny, then the grown-up one is just stupid. Why does he always bugger an idea? Shame. She looks great though.

After watching the video, i REALLY want to ask Bjork, if (1) She drinks 1% milk, and (2) If she makes lanyard keychains in her spare time!

video's weird. somehow it wasn't really that entertaining though even if it's spike's direction.

AMAZING!!! I'm in love with Bjork, but I thought the whole thing was amazing! I think I'm crying...

The cat apperances completely ruined what was a good video. I still find Spike Jonze to be a bit overrated, and this attempt at originality by adding the cat dance scene was amatuer at best.

Spike Jonze and Bjork are both soooo over and uncool.
I'm sorry, did I miss the memo that said we're back in 19-fucking-97?
Talk about something current or don't waste our time.
Jesus.

"wow, she looks just like Deb from Napolean Dynamite"
Hahah! I thought the same thing when the video started. I need to stop watching that movie so much.

...except both have increasingly accessible and growing careers, so that makes no sense. spike jonze directed an amazing movie this year that almost everyone loved, maybe you've heard of it? and bjork is gaining more fans everyday, and is up for 2 grammies. sooo chill, not everything on this site is going to cater to YOU SPECIFICALLY OMG HEART ATTACK.

Kenny, although I agree with you in spirit, perhaps you could elaborate on the amazing movie that Spike Jonze directed this year? I certainly haven't heard of it.
Score = 0
Ultragrrl, do you live in some perpetual world of nowness? Why is it necessary for someone who is making pop music to only be around for a few years? Do you deal with other aspects of your life this way? "Oh, mom, sorry I can't talk to you, you are soooo over and uncool!"
And if someone likes something, don't be obnoxious and just dump over it by saying "don't waste our time". I'm sorry, no one FORCED you to read these comments or come to this page. In other words, honey, get over yourself.
Score = 0
OKAY so maybe it wasnt this year but i was thinking of Adaptation. I can't believe that came out in 2002 :/ ANYWAYS he also did the incredible Being John Malkovich, so.
Also, ultragrrrrrrrl, speaking of 1997, we must talk about why you are still using AOL. seriously.

I totally love how the video has a very dream-like kind of epic feel to it ... it looks like it could be a real movie, or something (and Bjork always looks so strange anyway that it all fits really well together) ... now what is Spike Jonze's next project again?
Score = 0
I don't really agree with Bjork and Spike Jonze being labeled "uncool". And even if they are, you can't say with any honesty that they're "over". If anything, Spike Jonze is more mainstream now than ever, and once you get to that point it's hard to culturally disappear, at least in the tabloid sense. You'll never stop hearing about either one of them, probably for your entire life.
Embrace it.
Medulla was no Vespertine, by any means... but that video Spike directed with all of the kids playing with the dog corpse and cutting each other's arms off was actually one of my favorite videos of his. Come on, that video rules, ult.girl.

Wow. Such a cool video. I love the part where the hearts are flying out of her mouth and that the cat is watching a clip from Mouse. Totally one of the best skate vides of all time. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Whoops, I meant to say skate videos.

LOL - 'weird' Bjork video - some redundancy of language there, no? It's not like she's ever made a dull or pedestrian video, and let's face it even if she had they'd be inherently weird on account of her unique presence.
Lucky cat - those japanese-eskimo pixie chicks really rock . . .

Ok what the hell, I keep hearing I'm missing one hell of a cat but I STILL CAN'T SEE IT! I even went to her website and couldn't find it....I want to be on of the cool kids :(

Can I just say, how much I truly, truly hate Real Player. Quicktime link no longer works. Bjork's "Medulla player" doesn't appear to work either. Too bad - I'd like to see the video.

ultragrrl comes off like so many indie music people I've known over the years....as soon as the record isn't recorded on a 4-track and distributed on "Back of My Hatchback Records" label, it's suddenly "so yesterday".
And speaking of the pot calling the kettle black..."grrrl?" Please.

Hey, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the new Bjork video ( Triumph of a Heart ) >> Its amusing, and adorable.. Plus, She looks like "DEB" from Napoleon Dynamite !! Mm, and that corny little dance they do... Man, Its frikken great :D

I just end up tired everytime i try looking for this video.

Hey i know this is a bit dated and everyone has seen it and made acomment and im a bit late.. but there are a couple of thigns iwould liek to say.. fucking amazing video..bjork and spike jonze are jsut brilliant.. bjork is my idol and i love her she doesn;t conform and she is talented in her own right.. which makes her fantastic.. the video and the song stand out and are different.. secodnly.. my dear "just saying" "sorry i'm one of the only ones with the balls to say it" grow up.. maybe its becuase your one of the only one who didn;t like it.. ever think of that? most of us on here actually like it ..so you may think you havew "balls" but its just an opinion, sod off... and ultragrll i bet you worship stars like westlife or these crappy bands that stay around for what 5 minutes? bjork is an international superstar and has been around even before me..and i love her.. in fact medulla was a successful album and stormed the charts and was high on many best albums of 2005 year.. yeah so outdated.. why the fuck is her music being used for advertisements and movies ? (just been reminded as i heard i miss you on an advert) she is a legend.. "lets talk about somethign current" im sorry but isn;t bjork still current.. shes still here making music isn;t she? have you misheard the meaning of current.. "sooo uncool" have you heard yourself? i stopped using that language when i was 3... bjork is taleneted in all aspects.. shes a great composer, her lyrics are outstanding, her acting in dancer in the dark.. reduced me to tears it was superb shes a doting mum and shes a loving human being..
Grow up! please!
love sarah

i heard this song on the airplane and i was so in love wit it dat i waited for it to loop around to catch the artist' name. bjork has a new fan! got back to my computer and found the clip which was just brilliant. i liked how he captured the cat's human-like expressions. and dat smile after the kiss. and its cool to know rahzel was a part of it. beatboxing is awesome..

Exelente video, Bjork cada ves mas impresiona a todos con sus ideas sub realistas que hacen creer que esa es la realidad unica y verdadera, ideas originales y simples que hacen de este video algo muy original y divertido. Mi amor a Bjork y a los gatos son la convinacion perfecta para que este video sea perfecto.
