The song is made up of vocals, as most the other songs in MedĂșlla. It features the Icelandic Choir, Mike Patton (from Faith No More), Rahzel (human beatbox) and Gregory Purnhagen (human trombone). It was written by the singer herself and co-produced with longtime collaborator Mark Bell.Â
âThe vocals on this track actually arenât that manipulated, but theyâre edited alot. A lot of chopping. The sounds that probably sound most synthetic are actually Rahzel just doing those crazy noises â you donât believe it until you see him. But we did a lot of editing, we would get the noises and then place them in this track. I felt that with Rahzel, you need to do both the extremes. Thereâs one song â âWho Is Itâ â with him doing a live take through the whole song, nothingâs edited or added on top, itâs just one take. The other extreme is in this song, where you take Rahzel and edit him all the way and make some sort of collage that only couldâve been made with him, no-one else. The choir was fun too. There are sections in this song that obviously have reverb, but we didnât take it any further than that. There are some bass-sounds that are so heavy â that is actually Mike Patton. He is incredible, he has these effect boxes that usually guitars have on the floor and you step on them. He did the bass sort of heavy metal / death metal, then he put Octaver on it to make it an octave lower. So thereâs a bit of that too. Iâve been joking with my mates that I really wanted to do a headbang choir song. So I started this song doing the choir arrangements, and then I had to find the beat to match it. It was fun. It sorta made me think of âBohemian Rhapsody tooâ, thereâs a bit of respect to Freddie. So people should be headbanging, then my dream would be fulfilled.â â Björk via XFM (25 August 2004)
