History[edit]
Watch- Golmaal Again 2017 Full - Movie Online Watch Golmaal Again full-Movie Online for FREE. & A story based on 4 friends who always stuck in some trouble and everything is solved in a funny way. The video posted by Amaal and Armaan seems to be an acoustic version of the Golmaal Again song, Hum Nahi Sudhrenge.
In an interview with Songfacts, Sally Seltmann said:
I had been listening to Feist's album Let It Die. I thought my little song about lost love, and the hope to recapture what you once had, sounded too much like a Feist song for me to use for New Buffalo, so I shelved it. Then, in late 2005 I did a tour across Canada supporting Feist, and Broken Social Scene. After meeting Feist, I started to wonder whether she might like to do a cover of '1234,' but I was too shy to tell her about it. At the last Broken Social Scene show, I plucked up the courage to tell her that I had written a song which I thought she might like to use. We went onto the tour bus, and I recorded a simple version of the song into her laptop, with guitar and vocals. To my surprise, she loved the song, and started playing it live.[2]
On 14 December 2005, Feist played the song live at The Trabendo in Paris, France in a show broadcast on Europe2 TV, with the title 'Sally's Song' and with somewhat different lyrics than in the commercially released version.[3][4]
The original version of the song was mixed by Renaud Letang.[5] It was later remixed by Van She Tech, an offshoot of the band Van She.[citation needed]
Release[edit]
The song was digitally released through iTunes Store. It gained notice after its use in an iPod nano commercial. It also appeared in an Australian commercial for eBay.[6] It has been released in the United Kingdom, in Canada and in other countries digitally.

The single also reached number eight on the US Hot 100, number 10 on the US Pop 100, and number 34 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.[7] As of July 25, 2011, '1234' had sold 1.2 million downloads in the US.[8] The single's unexpected success led to its release worldwide. In the UK it proved to be a huge hit, making the top 10 and peaking at number eight.[9] It had a very successful release in Canada, making it to number two.[10] The song also entered the top 10 in several European countries. The single's success made Feist famous globally and boosted sales of her other releases. It also managed to debut at number 67 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, as digital tracks were counted towards chart positions from November 5, 2007 onwards in Australia. It later entered the top 50 of the chart in late December and peaked at number 36. It also ranked number 34 in the Triple J Hottest 100.[11]
In the 28 April 2008 episode of The Colbert Report where she was a guest, Feist said that she had planned to offer '1234' as the official campaign theme for Stephen Colbert's Presidential bid, before he dropped out.[12]
