Bette Davis Eyes is really amazing song, but Somebody to Love is my fav for now.

I really want to hear the full version of that ballad she did.

The Somebody To Love video looks great!

I also wanted to ask about the collaboration in that song with Leighton. How did that come about?

Basically we were writing our third album Hot Mess. We took the keys to the studio so we’d have it all to ourselves, and the producer called us up one day and said ‘hey guys, we’re really sorry but we’re going to have to interrupt you. It’s really wrong or whatever, but we have an opportunity to do a song with one of the Gossip Girls. She wants to start a music career.’

And Gabe was like ‘No way! Is it Blair Waldorf?’ He’s a huge Gossip Girls fan. He said ‘Hey, it’s totally cool, but she has to sing on one of our songs and we’ll say it’s ok.’ Sure enough, our people talked to her people and we figured it all out. The song “Good Girls Go Bad” was going to get canned and this turned it around.

Leighton Meester -- good girl or bad girl?

Good ...

Why her for that track when you probably could have gone with a more established singer?

Gabe is a huge Gossip Girl fan, and when we heard that producer friends of ours were going to work with her, Gabe thought that would be a great opportunity for everyone. She gets to really jumpstart her singing career with a bunch of sweet dudes -- us -- and we get to do a song with Blair Waldorf.

Thanks Franci

I think collaborating on the song was a good thing to both Leighton and CS.

I'm excited about the video!

The biggest surprise of the night, other than the cool cover, was an appearance by Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester. The TV star came out in nude pants splashed with random bursts of color and a 60's style beehive to sing a duet with vocalist Rivers Cuomo on "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To." She sang very well, and later Tweeted that Rivers was "perfection in a bottle."
