4.0 out of 5 stars Oh, the irony September 25, 2007

This is the song from the new iPod nano commercial. Great tune at a great price without any DRM hassel.

5.0 out of 5 stars iHate iTunes...well, only the DRM part... September 26, 2007

By M. Chu

"Oh, the irony" is right! Haha, I couldn't stop laughing when I discovered this song on Amazon's new music store. What a great alternative to Apple's iTunes!

Two quick notes:

1. This song is great (I always gotta give Apple credit for finding new, fresh artists)
2. Death to DRM and kudos to Amazon for realizing this sooner rather than later. Smart move!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Nano Song September 26, 2007

By The Amazon Shopper VINE™ VOICE

Yes, I got the song after watching the Nano ad. It's good, but I think the ad showed the best part of it; the first 30 seconds. After that, it didn't quite reach the high of the first part. Fun song, though.

What a sad commentary on the state of American radio that tv commercials do a beter job breaking new music than radio staions these days. Um, maybe they need more consultants--NOT. (BTW "My Moon My Man" is a better Feist song IMO.)

3.0 out of 5 stars It's the music that counts February 18, 2008

By Amaranth

Feist's "1234" is a delightful little ditty. Feist wasn't that famous (except among the indie set with Broken Social Scene&"Let it die") until the iPod ad gave her a tremendous boost. Her success shows that independent artists CAN take on the usual prefab pop tarts. "1234" is a joyful,simple song (her music video transforms it into a psychedelic musical that seems to cross Sgt. Pepper's with Broadway) It makes love simple-and it's the thought that COUNTS!

Feist has grown as an artist. Going solo from Broken Social Scene,she hasn't become self-indulgent. She's a lot like the Australian/UK diva Sia,who has gone solo from Zero 7. I like Feist, but I think Sia is even better. If you like "1234",go join Sia on her "Playground" and enjoy some "Beautiful Calm Driving"!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real song with a real story November 3, 2007

By Ndugu

Feist fans were mostly shocked to see her dancing in sequins in a national advertisement. It's hard not to associate the song with the ad, but on its own merits this stands out as a classic. The story of the song is on Songfacts: It was written by Australian singer/songwriter Sally Seltmann, who always felt it was a Feist song and gave it to her. The lyrics are meaningful in many ways, and there's something divine about how Feist ended up singing it to us in blue sequins.
