Human behavior

Human Behaviour was the first single by Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk. It is also the first single from Debut , her first solo album. Contains a sample of Tom Jobim's "Go down dying". The song reflects nature and human emotions from an animal point of view. It is part of a trilogy of songs that includes Isobel and Bachelorette. There is also an acoustic version of Human Behavior that Bjork recorded for the TVE program Planeta Rock on October 13, 1993. It is part of one of the single versions Violent Happy.

In France, a digipack version is published when the album has sold 100,000 copies, which includes a CD containing a thank you recorded by Björk herself to the fans of the French country.

Video Clip

The video clip for Human Behavior was directed by French director Michel Gondry. The video is somewhat surreal: Björk is hunted by a bear in the forest. Also, she flies to the Moon and plants a USSR flag. She ends up being eaten by the bear and trapped in her stomach.

The video received 6 MTV Award nominations: Best Female Video, Best New Artist Video, New Video, Best Special Effects, Best Art Direction and Best Director, none of which won. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award, losing to "Steam" by Peter Gabriel.
