DON'T LET POETS LIE TO YOU

Björk talking about her television in her fantastic Icelandic accent.

Like many Icelanders, she has trouble saying the "sh" sound, and often says "ss" instead. I find this adorable. My Icelandic comrades when I studied in Oslo liked to play guitar and sing songs, and I quietly lost it when they took on the Beatles' "She." ("Ssseeeee....")

I can't help but be a little bummed by her impeccable British English in the later videos.
