:-[For the longest time (on some of the music sharing sites) I'd see a listing of "Top Of The World" by Bjork. I never downloaded it thinking it was the recording by Shonen Knife from the tribute album "If I Were a Carpenter". But finally last week I decided to check it out and it is not Shonen Knife (never liked their rendition of the song), but it is indeed Bjork. She does a surprisingly good version of the song - she toned her voice down a bit for the song and actually sounds very good. Has anybody else heard this recording? Does anybody know which bjork album it's from?  |

Just the other day at the gym, heard a version of TOP OF THE WORLD … kinda punk version, so must be from IF I WERE A CARPENTER. Have had that CD for all these years and will have to check it out again. Think I only listened to it once!
Downloading AOL song download software as we speak and hope to find Bjork’s version there. If there I'll let you know if a CD is named.

You probably heard the recording by Shonen Knife at the gym. Was it a female lead vocal?

I may have to find this song by Bjork. I am only familiar with her iceland music and I don't care for it. On the other hand, no one wears a bird for a dress to the award shows like her! LOL

 Upon better inspection of Bjork's version of the song, I still feel it's a pretty good recording, but maybe Bjork's voice is "good" as opposed to the "very good" I said in my earlier post.

That is great, that someone like Bjork would record a Carpenters song. I'm not really a fan of Bjork, but I don't dislike her either. I'll have to check out this song.
