Ah, an excuse to share Björk's legendary video about how TVs work! You shouldn't let poets lie to you.

Yes, but did you see the video about her getting shocked from the TV during those takes?

Just make sure you watch it all the way to the end. Or at least pay attention to the date in the title.
Note that this is not real.

No Guðmundsdóttirs were harmed in the making of the foregoing video, although I'm sure she would be charming and adorable while sustaining a minor electrical shock.

When I stumbled upon this months ago I was entirely taken in by it, as every time I see the video with the back of the TV off, I wonder how she didn't get shocked. I had a really good laugh when the video was done.
"... Millions of little screens that send light on you..."

How poetic!

for a moment it seems like she's talking about TikTok
