Two By Four, or is that Four By Two?

Here's Feist's 1-2-3-4 song. Pick your own "age appropriate" version...





I must admit that I favour the pre-school version. That one has lyrics readily apparent in the choreography and a presentation that reinforces the conceptualization implicit in the number chant. For the life of me I don't "get" the bottom one. I see spirals and mobs rushing to-and-fro while singing words that undermine the principal concepts of the song. I guess Big Bird is simply a superior choreographer and Feist rises adeptly to the challenge of matching lyric to audience better in the Sesame Street version.
