It Was Only A Matter Of Time
Monday, July 14th, 2008 at 10:45 amFeist is going to appear on the premiere of the new season of “Sesame Street” teaching kids to count to “1 2 3 4″ with monsters, penguins and chickens “just back from the shore”. Here is the adorable and leaked clip:
Hat Tip to Stereogum.
And here is the original for those of you who haven’t heard it. I love it, but know many who detest it.
Listening to: “Love Is A Stranger” - Martha Wainwright

Sweet! Am I the only one who could not stop smiling throughout the entire clip? This was an absolutely brilliant re-working of her material, and you can tell she had a blast making it. If this doesn’t get kids counting to four, then nothing will!

I had to show it some love since Stereogum was blasting all over it with gooey negativity.

Ummm… Stereogum is opposed to kids learning how to count? Or Feist having fun with her song? Or Sesame Street? I just don’t get it.

They’re just tired of the song.

The biggest sin for an indie artist is to become successful. First the Apple iPod commercial and now Seasame Street… must be time to bash Feist for “selling out!!” YEAH!! I HATE THAT SONG!!

Personally, I love it when my favorite artists get some notice. It usually means they’ve hit their creative peak and I can stop buying their music.

This song has been in my brain ever since I read your post. Have also shared it with others that *might not* appreciate it as much as I do.

I would be more excited if I didn’t absolutely ABSOLUTELY hate this song.

I have to say some songs defy being overplayed - this is one. And Dave, I couldn’t stop smiling.
How can anyone hate this song? OK - it’s cute. Whatever. Great song.
