Lower caption = ESP CD Promo "Big Time Sensuality" is a song byBjörk , released as the fourth single from her1993 album "Debut". The track is upbeat, bubbly pop-house, about enjoying life to its fullest. The song helped boost Björk’s popularity worldwide, particularly the U.S., where she charted for the first time. This single also contained “Glóra” and “Síðasta Ég” as B-sides, two songs that were recorded byThe Elgar Sisters , a group formed in the early eighties by guitaristGuðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson and Björk.Music video
In the somewhat iconic
music video for "Big Time Sensuality", directed byStéphane Sednaoui , Björk dances on the back of a moving truck slowly driving throughNew York City in the middle of the day. The version in the video was remixed by Fluke, with the exact video edit not being available until the later release of "Greatest Hits". The versions on the single are the shorter "Fluke Minimix" and the longer "Fluke Moulimix". The video was later spoofed by British comediennesFrench & Saunders .There is also a rare nighttime version which was released only on the Director's Label "The Work of Stephane Sednaoui" DVD.
