that time Björk made a song about me

"Venus as a Boy"
from the album Debut

fun fact, Björk's favorite book is The Story of The Eye by George Bataille, in which a main character pleasures herself with a dead person's eyeball (among other things). this makes it sound awful but it's actually an excellent book.

ANYWAY, Bataille's erotism inspires the song, and the video was supposed to be inspired by the book, hence the eggs.

the director made her fry the eggs, because she hadn't read the book. Björk was upset because the eggs had to be whole for it to make sense. afterward, the director DID read the book, and agreed.
