Listen, I've been saying this for years, but Björk's music and the more cosmic parts of the DC Universe go together like peanut butter and jelly. And I'm not the only one who feels that way. As it turns out, the team behind the Supergirl movie was gunning for an iconic Björk track to be featured in the film. 

On the DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast, Alcock expressed her interest in playing Björk in a biopic and revealed how the film sought to get one of the singer's biggest hits in the Supergirl movie soundtrack. "We tried to get her song in our movie. And they were like [shakes head 'no']," the actress revealed. But what was the song in question? "'It's Oh So Quiet,'" Alcock said in a singsongy voice. 

It's possible that the request for the song - recorded for her 1995 album Post, and a cover of a 1951 song originally recorded by Betty Hutton - was rejected because Björk has admitted to being frustrated that the song has overshadowed the rest of her career, despite being recorded as "sort of a joke, really," as she told Record Collector magazine in 2002; indeed, Björk famously dropped the song from her live repertoire some years ago, in a seeming attempt to distance herself from it.

Thus far, the Supergirl trailers have used Blondie's classic "Call Me," which was first recorded for the Richard Gere movie American Gigolo. And look, we're not complaining about a Blondie song popping up anywhere at any time. But it would have been divine to see Björk and Supergirl in the same space. 

Speaking of songs made specifically for movies, K-pop group LE SSERAFIM has released a version of their song "Celebration" for the Supergirl movie. You can check it out below. It may not be Björk, but given that the group has collaborated with Rina Sawayama, they've got our seal of approval.
