"It's Oh So Quiet" by Bjork


 

Battle Creek, Michigan actress and singer Betty Hutton first released the English version of "It's Oh So Quiet" in 1951. (German bandleader Horst Winter is given credit for the original composition "Und Jetzt Ist Es Still" in 1948.)

Swan-dressed weirdo Bjork kept the big band flair and added her own brand of Icelandic shrieking on this 1995 reboot.
