“But it sort of became this joke-song, kind of like a b-movie soundtrack to, “the Earth Mother, RISES back from the mud!” Like the earth goddess as a zombie. And she’s going to go vertebrae by vertebrae, back on her hind legs, the beast is back! Also taking a little piss on how scared organized religion is of nature, they’re just terrified. And I just find it so hilarious, I mean what’s so scary about it?” - XFM Interview, April 2007

7/10, one of the three best songs on her worst album.

@Voyeur76: In the back cover of Voltaïc it uses a normal font/lettering and it uses the æ.

The version from Voltaïc is way better than the regular album version. The live horns sound so huge!

This doesn't seem like a first track to me at all, it's perfect in the middle or maybe even closer to the end

"Vertebrae by Vertebrae" this song seems to be some kind of ancient juju or a post-apocalyptic mantra... vertebrae by vertebrae vertebrae by vertebrae vertebrae...

Yeah, opening w/ this would really set the mood in a totally different way. Suppose it's a comercial decision to have the Timbaland produced track w/ possibly the greatest hit potential as the first. @ymax1: even though it seems to say so on the cover legal downloads from major companies tag it in this manner. Are you sure it's not just fancy lettering on the artwork and do you have any official statement that tells us Björk herself really cares? The official website (björk.com) actually has it spelled as "Vertebrae by Vertebrae".

i think it'd be great if this was the first track! Björk was just amazing singing this at Voltaic *O*

song is incorrectly writen. "Vertebræ by Vertebræ" is correct! Vote everyone! (if smb doesn't know: use link "suggest a correction" on the right)
