Call it the indie rock version of the "Hit Me Baby One More Time" video, but check out Zooey Deschanel dancing in the high school halls and M. Ward looking like the detached object of her affection.
I LOVED the first She & Him record, and while this song may have lost a bit of the "golly gee" innocence, the playfulness is still irresistible.
From Volume 2, here's "In the Sun."

Mix Tape Thursday, 7/1/09
WTMD listeners take over the airwaves with three-to-five song sets on Thursday.
6 a.m. David Ziffer
In honor of Weezer, one of this year's Freefest performers, and their debut album, "The Blue Album", I've included a song from that album, a track from 311's self-titled debut, also known as "The Blue Album," and The Beatles' "Blue Album, 1967-1970."
* "My Name is Jonas," by Weezer
* "All Mixed Up," by 311
* "Across the Universe," by The Beatles
8 a.m. Kathy Marr
There are artists I heard for the first time on WTMD and songs that moved me deeply.
* "Forever My Friend," by Ray Lamontagne
* "Be Here Now," by Mason Jennings
* "Pride," by Daniella Cotton
* "You Dance," by East Mountain South
* "Gravity," by Bob Sima
10 a.m. Mary Zajac
A while ago, David Dye had Moby choose a Top 5 on the World Cafe. Moby's theme was "5 Songs That Would Sound Good in a Desolate Parking Lot of an Abandoned Factory at 4 AM." This is my take on that theme.
* "Over the Hillside," by The Blue Nile
* "All I Need," by Radiohead
* "Love Letter," by Nick Cave
* "For the Turnstiles," by Neil Young
* "Famous Blue Raincoat," by Leonard Cohen
12 p.m. Susan Atwell-Keister
Songs of freedom and America for the 4th of July
* "Freedom," by Melissa Ferrick
* "America," from West Side Story
* "This Land Is Your Land," by Woody Guthrie
* "Free Fallin'," by Tom Petty
4 p.m. Melissa Artnak
This is a, hopefully, not too sappy, but still pretty endearing mix tape that is a modern variant on the "I Like You" mix tapes we are all guilty of making as teens.
All of the songs have a summery feel, so the title written on the label of this cassette could be "Grown-up Summer Camp Love Songs," if that's not too cheesy.
* "Rave On," by M. Ward
* "Slow Show," by The National
* "French Navy," by Camera Obscura
* "All My Mistakes," by The Avett Brothers

TMD Morning Guy Weighs In
Since my job is to keep you entertained and engaged with incredible music while you're driving to work, I thought, "why not take a road trip and base my best of '06 picks on how they sound to me in the car?" Ahhh, New Jersey never looked so good as it did set to the soundtrack from this past year. So, thanks for inspiring me everyday...and here are my top driving albums from a memorable year in music!
Jenny Lewis had my first favorite record this year, and clearly, my favorite video. Check out Sarah Silverman introducing the Hee Haw inspired clip.
Oh, did you catch that 21-year-old blogger on Good People this morning? He chronicles all the goings-on in the tv news business and counts Brian Williams among his biggest fans. Check out Brian Stelter's tv newser blog:
