There’s a new iPod TV ad, featuring a stack of the new, squarer-shaped video iPods. There is a woman singing, featured in a video showing on the iPods, as they are removed from the stack one at a time.

Who is the artist and what is the song? I tried to find it on both iTunes Youtube and couldn’t find it. Besides asking Dopers - and thanks by the way for any answers you provide - is there an easier way to find this out that I have missed? It feels like there should be…

Your best bet for Apple commercials is [Apple.com](http://Apple.com). They usually host 'em there too.

Looks like 1234 by Fiest if that’s the ad you’re talking about. Enjoy!

Thanks! I didn’t think to try to memorize the song lyrics and Google them - I will keep that in mind.

as a side note, I thought it might be Feist, which is why I wanted to find out…

Just wanted to pop in and say that I love **Feist**. She’s great… that song is fun, as is “Mushaboom” from her last album. She’s also done a lot of singing with **Broken Social Scene**.
