Feist on Sesame Street
The original Feist video for 1,2,3,4 was filmed in one shot, no edits. So is this Sesame Street video, which, if you think about it, is terribly impressive.
First, Feist singing 1,2,3,4 (a spiffy song by a talented artist, btw):

Our Last Video (well, not mine, of course...)
ABBA is famous for lots of things, one of which is that they never reunited to tour or record after they broke up in 1982, leaving lots of sad fans.
People in the US may not know that they did get back together to make one last video, though.
The following video was shown as part of the Eurovision telecast in 2004. Eurovision, a European song contest, broadcast continent-wide every year, was won by ABBA in 1974.
30 years later, they made this appearance.
Enjoy!
