Song/Week: “Feist sings 1, 2, 3, 4” by Feist

Ever since I became  a father I have become very familiar with children’s television; PBS, Disney, and everything else. PBS, and especially Sesame Street is a godsend; educational programming that is entertaining and appropriate for all kids (Dinosaur Train is also quite good).


One of my favorite songs sung by a star on Sesame Street is “Feist sings 1, 2, 3, 4.” This version, along with 4 monsters, 4 chickens, and 4 penguins dancing is adorable! Along with being one of the most viewed Sesame Street songs on YouTube is also has a curious Like and Dislike ratio; 40k Likes to 11k Dislikes (May 2014). This seems like an awful lot of Dislikes for a song that is simple, benign, and super-cute (maybe that is why parents do not like it, it is not educational enough).

A short yet accurate comment explains the high number of Dislikes, “The people who disliked this video also dislike puppies, candy, fireworks, and joy.”
