Feist

Track #9 on Feist’s third full-length album The Reminder.

Feist performed in an accompanying music video for this song produced in 2007 by Polydor:

Leslie Feist was also featured in an episode of the American children’s show Sesame Street, singing and dancing to an alternate version of the song:

It’s the song that sold a whole bunch of iPods and gave Sesame Street a chance to learn a new way to count. And it’s a tune that vaguely mirrors Feist’s own transformation from beloved Broken Social Scenester to ubiquitous adult-contemporary everywoman– it starts off modest and gentle atop some acoustic strumming (on guitar and banjo), and then gradually builds to an ebullient horn-filled crescendo, with Feist proving to be just as adept at belting as at murmuring, but never at the expense of the song.
