"Army of Me" by Tauk

 

Oyster Bay, New York progressive rock fusion band Tauk team up with Charleston, South Carolina singer Kanika Moore to cover "Army of Me," a 1995 release from Icelandic singer/songwriter Bjork.

For another Bjork cover, the Decemberists' version of "Human Behavior" can be found here.

For a cover by Bjork, her version of "It's Oh So Quiet" can be found here.

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.

"Human Behavior" by The Decemberists

 It'll be tempting to stop listening to The Decemberists' interpretation of Björk's "Human Behavior" when you're about half a minute in. Spoiler Alert: It's just Colin Meloy's nasally whine over a single strummed guitar chord.

You're, of course, under no obligation to slog through the early going. But, if you do, you get rewarded when the band flips its switch from "Meh" to "Awesome" at exactly 1:01.
