Mushaboom (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Mushaboom" is a single from the album Let It Die by Feist. It was released November 23, 2004 by Universal International, and is Feist's second single released in Canada, after "Inside and Out". There are two music videos for the single; the second version was directed by Patrick Daughters. Her good friend Peaches appears in one version.

The title comes from Mushaboom, Nova Scotia, a village on Mushaboom Harbour, about 100 km east of Halifax.

The song has been remixed by The Postal Service and Mocky on Open Season and covered by Bright Eyes on the live album Motion Sickness as well as on their tour to promote I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. Rapper K-Os also remixed the song, beatboxing behind the vocals and adding a few verses of his own. Canadian jazz musician Laila Biali includes a cover on her album From Sea to Sky. The song is featured in a perfume ad for Lacoste and in a Silent Night mattress commercial. The song is featured in the 2005 Canadian short film Big Girl, directed by Renuka Jeyapalan.
