Feist - 1234

This catchy single was brought to our attention thanks to an advert for Apple Nano. Canadian singer Feist co wrote the song with Sally Seltmann and came from the album The Reminder which were both released in 2007. The single was slowly selling copies and suddenly after the advert was shown, the sales shot through the roof making it an instant hit here in the UK and America. It reached number 8 in September 2007 thanks to the advert, plus a really great video for the single. In the video you see Feist alone in a warehouse start to sing the song then suddenly there's a group of dancers behind her in what is a very cleverly edited video, made to look like it is a one take song and dance routine.

I think this is a really infectious to listen to and you can't help but sing along to the song, although the lyrics I think have more of a darker story to them. Here's the single
