Hey, look! It's that New Year's-themed video you've already seen everywhere else on the internet today, staring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt:

500 Days of Summer was my favourite movie of the last 10 years - I love these two together

I love this song, but I can't stand either of them. They sure made the decision not to see 500 Days of Summer easy for me.

NOBODY CARES, JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT. JUST TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS AND SHUT UP!

I find JGL completely adorable. (Sorry, MacCrocodile). And he is completely adorable in this video.

Love.

Well, it certainly does remind us that we won't ever have sex with either of them.

Maybe it's because I sing like a toad with a hangover and thus have a relatively low bar for one to clear, but I think JGL sounds surprisingly good.

I'm almost as hot for Zooey as I am for Darcy!

Zooey Deschanel is only a few years away from Judy Tenuta.

Cute only lasts so long...

Zooey Deschanel's singing is good for an actor. When she sings in Elf my reaction is "Oh that's actually nice." It's a nice surprise. Like a free bag of M&M's.

But when it's on it's own it's much like a bag of M&M's for a meal. It's not good enough. It's fine, but it's not a meal.

JGL is very talented but he's not a great singer.

All in all this video is very blah. I appreciate they were just doing a sweet treat for people, and that's nice but they aren't musicians and it shows.

It started with Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and ended with The New Girl, I really dont care about Zooey anymore. Joe's cool.

@8 if you call performing a '40s standard a "cover," then sure... ;)

Lovely, super sweet cover (doesn't hurt that I'm hot for both of them), but nothing will ever come close to Ella's version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0wu_J_lf…

JGL was cool for about 5 seconds several years ago when we gays deemed him a sexy twink. Now he is pretty bleh. And Zoey has always been a lame weirdo. I mean she's basically most known for looking like one of the Gilmore Girls and being in a 'Cotton Fabric of Our Lives' commercial. Seriously just go away you loon.
