Who sings the song in the new iPod Nano commercial?


Search: got a feeling that i belong bourgeois

Why: I just saw it (during "Glee").

Answer: A Swedish gal called Miss Li (Linda Carlsson). Here is her MySpace. The song is called "Bourgeois Shangri-La." (or if you want the song from September 2010 that goes "I want a girl," scroll down!!)
Here are the lyrics:
I got a feeling that I don't belong
Got a feeling that I shouldn't be here
Can't stand another single day
Gotta get away
Vacation and barbecue
Small talkin' and nothing to do
A bourgeois Shangri-La
Aaaaaahh!
I gotta get away

The More You Know: UPDATE 9/23/10!!!!!! If you are looking for the song that is on in September 2010 (below), it's "Short Skirt / Long Jacket" by Cake. I'm kind of surprised you don't remember it from 2001.
Buy it here. Lyrics go like:
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry, she's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket

    Oh you can get tired of it. I want to choke every putz on that commercial. I just love that the lyrics are somewhat rebellious while used to pimp a commercialized solstice celebration
