Let's not mention #1.
More interesting is Emiliana Torrini's Jungle Drum.
In a way I feel reminded of Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made For Walking, which might be due to the intentionally flat sound of Jungle Drum, which gives the impression of a Lofi recording. The vocal similarities do the rest...
The song is alright, but the reason I picked it is the obvious clumsiness of the video, which looks more like something a group of aspiring students would pull together. This goes nicely with Torrini's insecureness in front of the camera and her rather awkward moves.
But you know what? - this comes across refreshing and different in today's perfectly timed music mainstream, where everything is ironed out and dusted over with thick layers of make-up and fast cuts and armies of choreographers, caterers, directors and stagehands.
Refreshing.
Not great, but refreshing.
But that's maybe more worth than it sounds like...

Hmmmm. "refreshing" ...
"hausgemacht" waere auch passend. Ist der Video mit iMovie geschnitten? :-)
I felt exactly the same thing that it sounds similar to nancy sinatras song. And when I googled it, your site came up :)
