Merritt's a mention

Dizzyhead John e-mailed me about a song that our friend Wayne had sent to him. He (John) listened and thought, "Ah, this must be from the new Magnetic Fields album..." It was only after he put the song in iTunes—and Gracenote provided the name of the artist—that he realized how off he was.

Repeating the cycle, I assumed that the song was by MF, too...and it wasn't until a couple days later that I, too, did a double-take...

CAN YOU NAME THE SINGER/SONG?

Hint: The singer is very well known. The album came out last year and has a one-word title.
