And so, Leslie Feist brings “1 2 3 4” to NYC’s still rough-hewn Sesame Street district. Not since R.E.M.’s “Furry Happy Monsters” has a hit been so joyously repurposed. Though the Sesame Workshop really missed a great opportunity in 2005 when Beck, then a new dad, came out with the song “Guero” from the album of the same name.

Delaney and Bonnie. Frye-booted, syphilitic-looking married couple of early-’70s vintage (last name: Bramlett) who pioneered the “heavy friends” approach to a rock career, recording several albums of amiable but undistinguished blues chooglin’ in the company of such esteemed helpers as Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, George Harrison, and Dave Mason.
