Björk dances in and out of this San Fernando, California Goodyear tire shop in the music video Spike Jonze directed for "It's Oh So Quiet." According to Björk, that's Ernie from Sesame Street inside the dancing mailbox, but Björk is from Iceland, so take that with a grain of salt.

Lead singer Mark Everett's father 'was Hugh Everett, a physicist who pioneered the concept that quantum fluctuations create splits in reality, resulting in a Level II multiverse containing parallel universes which account for every quantum possibility...' or at least that's what I read in the comments for the video on youtube.

The video for "Car Song" by the Britpop band Elastica, filmed in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, is a cross between Ghostbusters and Blade Runner with some Godzilla tossed in for the hell of it. The band's ghost chase leads them down into Shinjuku station, the busiest train station in the world and also where the Beastie Boys take it to another dimension in their video for "Intergalactic."
