Feist Sweptaway?

As you know, my friends The Sweptaways are are an all women's Swedish choir who sing acappella arrangements of the likes of Kiss, Kate Bush, Pet Shop Boys and Black Sabbath. They always look and sound fabulous. Word from the choir is that Feist must have gotten the idea for her terrific 1234 video from The Sweptaways debut video for Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush), released over a year ago, and made with a tiny budget. Coincidence? If not, it just goes to show what several million bucks can do.

I tried for that part, but alas, was deemed too tall, this by Swedes!

Will anyone see this comment, posted so very long after the originals and subsequent 16 full posts? Methinks...the Hitmaker will see it, as he consumes all webbery and messaging.

The Swepts don't need several more million dollars (at least not for their video); they could have saved the money spent on hulahoops and used it to buy pizza for 50 more extras and a taller ladder. Plus, their sequin budget was nil, so they're almost there.

Feist should be ashamed of herself, ripping this off so baldfacedly. Also, Feist's dance moves are weak. WEEEEEEAAAAAAK!
