"Big Time Sensuality" is a song by Björk, released as the fourth single from her 1993 album Debut. The track is upbeat, bubbly trance-pop about enjoying life to its fullest and helped boost Björk’s popularity worldwide, particularly the US, where she charted for the first time. This single also contained “Glóra” and “Síðasta Ég”, two songs that were recorded by The Elgar Sisters, a group formed in the early eighties by guitarist Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson and Björk.
In the somewhat iconic music video for "Big Time Sensuality", directed by Stéphane Sednaoui, Björk dances on the back of a moving truck slowly driving through New York City in the middle of the day. The version used in the video is a remix by Fluke; the exact video version was not commercially available until the later release of Greatest Hits. There is also a rare nighttime version which was released only on the Director's Label "The Work of Stephane Sednaoui" DVD. The video was later spoofed by British comediennes French & Saunders.
