#2. 1 2 3 4
by Feist

Leslie Feist specializes in songs that make sophisticated adults feel like little kids, and 1 2 3 4 may be her masterpiece. Lyrically it's little more than a nursery rhyme — "One Two Three Four/ Tell me that you love me more" — but Feist sings it with a mixture of wisdom and exuberance that's all her own. Thanks to the divine hand and wallet of Steve Jobs, who used the video for 1 2 3 4 in an iPod ad, it also became Feist's first top 10 hit.
