Free MP3: Zooey Deschanel Sings about Her Underwear on TV

ABOVE: Of all the songs written about, um, weeds, this may be the first about cotton.

Since first showing the world she could sing during her shower scene duet with Will Ferrell in Elf, Zooey Deschanel has stolen the hearts of moviegoers–and indie rock fans.

The burgeoning star paired up with singer/songwriter/guitarist M. Ward to form She & Him, and if that weren’t enough to secure her status as the indie-rock world’s darling, the blue-eyed, shaggy-banged singer recently became engaged to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie (they sing together, too).

So, what else could she do?

Sing a song about her underpants, of course.(Rather her than Gibbard, we guess.)

While Deschanel fans might be disappointed to learn that there is no racy video for the song, there is an interview with the singer online wherein she attempts to explain the inspiration behind her fashion choices by addressing such weighty topics as her favorite colors, textures and fasteners (the answer is invisible zippers, y’know, in case you’re stalking her or something).

She also explains that her favorite color to wear is, “any shade of blue. It’s a very expressive color.” Of course, the quote is located next to a photo of her in a bright red dress. Brilliant.

Deschanel’s latest movie, (500) Days of Summer, pairs her with former 3^rd Rock from the Sun TV star Joseph Gordon-Levitt in what appears to be an obnoxiously sweet indie-rock romance for the Pitchfork set (See the trailer below).

BELOW: The trailer for Deschanel’s indie-rock love story (500) Days of Summer. If you guessed that it opens with an awkward Smiths-themed pick-up line, you’d be right, unfortunately.
