Canadian singer Feist will be coming to Sesame Street. She’ll make her debut on the August 11th season premiere and change the lyrics to one of her most famous tracks – The Reminder – to a song about counting that four-year-olds can relate to.

She was born Leslie Feist in Calgary, Canada and moved to Toronto, Canada as an adult after spending time in Paris, Berlin, and other areas. For a time, she performed with a sock puppet and called herself Bitch Lap-Lap.

Now that she’s grown up her music has changed a lot and so has her fan base and the way that the world sees her. Sesame Street will be happy to welcome her to sing about the number four and count with chickens and friendly monsters.

While the artists who appear on it might be more contemporary nowadays, Sesame Street itself and its hopeful, joyful, happy message of learning has not changed much. With Feist’s recreation of herself, she’s just right for the children who watch the show and the parents who pay attention to what their children are watching.
