Feist Goes To Sesame Street

(andPOP) - Count von Count must be beside himself with excitement.

Canadian songstress Feist, whose number-referencing hit "1234" is nominated for best single going into Sunday's Juno Awards, will make a special appearance on the arithmomanic fanged one's home turf of "Sesame Street."

The singer was in New York this week to tape an episode on the long-running children's show in which she duets with Elmo.

Feist and the giggly red monster reportedly sing a song she wrote specifically for the two of them.

An air date for the episode has not yet been announced.

It's not Feist's first time working with puppets -- she recently shot a video for "Honey Honey" that showcases the Calgary-based Old Trout Puppet Workshop, whose puppetry has been featured in the Disney TV series "Honey I Shrunk The Kids."

"I've always been really obsessed with the naivete of puppeteering," Feist told The Calgary Herald recently. "It's a hand pulling a string at the exact right moment or it's personifying a piece of wood.

"There are no computers, no buttons. It's just ingenuity and timing and the humanness of the moment. The joints of wood mixed with the joints of blood and bone."

Feist is nominated for five Junos this year, including best artist, best songwriter and best album for "The Reminder."

She will also perform at the awards ceremony, which will air live from Calgary's Pengrowth Saddledome on CTV.
