I had never heard this song until a couple of weeks ago I saw it on an iPod Nano commercial. I am clearly not alone in enjoying this song. I have seen many similar posts to this one, so I’ll just put the video down, and let you listen. (again)

And on a side note, Universal Music Group initially put this on youtube. This is great. What is not great? I went to get the code to imbed the video in my blog, and it says, “Embedding disabled by request”. Eh? Why would they do that? Is it no surprise that the video I embedded has been viewed nearly 3 millions times, and the non-embeddable one has only been viewed 290,000 times?

In fact, initially I specifically scrolled down the page to get the official one from Universal to embed to give them credit for having at least half a brain and putting their stuff up on youtube. Now a music company with a half a brain is a HUGE compliment, and when they get another slice of brain, they will let me embed the video so me and all the myspace kids can put it on our webpages, rather then just put a link to it on youtube. (oh, and possibly just upload our own version so we can embed it. Imagine that, you put up barriers, and those of us on the tubes just go around them. Right or wrong, it just is, and it is a lesson to be learned.)

btw, check out other stuff by Feist. I’m enjoying a whole range of it, and may just go try out the Amazon DRM free downloading and buy me the album. [yes, I know that is bad english]
