I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since. When we did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make up trailer; we had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him because he’s simply the best. But in the meantime, we made a little New Year’s duet for all of you! The original by Nancy Wilson. ENJOY! Don’t forget to check out Joe’s website http://hitrecord.org/
Zooey Deschanel writes music, sings, and acts on screens, small and big. She is a co-founder of hellogiggles. She is one half of the indie folk band She & Him . She dances too but just for fun. Follow her on twitter and tumblr. See more posts from Zooey

This is AMAZING. My Sid & Nancy loving heart enjoys this oh so much You both sound wonderful! Thanks for posting this, Zooey & HelloGiggles (and Joe too!)
LOVE! Thanks, Joe & Zooey! A million movies more from this pair would never be enough. Makes me want to go home and watch (500) Days of Summer! I just might! Happy New Year, Gigglers!
oh my god i just died a million times over. my absolute favorite actress/songstress/all around idol and definitely one of my top favorite actors… so good. i love how talented you both are.
Dear Zooey and JGL, please sing together some more for us. I’ve been waiting to see when you two would sing one together – and just as I assumed, thrilling to my ears. Love, love, love.
Ez is jóra sikerült Zooey én is csinálnék egyet veled szívesen csak kár hogy olyan mesze vagy tőlem. nem igen fogod érteni amit ide írtam de nem baj egy a lényeg én imádom a hangod Zooey. és remélem még több száz filmedet nézhetem végig és hallgathatom a hangod boldog új évet Zooey deschanel.
Hello. This is what can be done with a sentimental heart. Incredibly Beautiful! Especially the nostalgic supreme quality of a Classic and refined tune. Super Gifted. Some times gifts are not wrapped in a box. Though that was a wrap. Thank you.
That was an extremely cool song and very well played and sung by both of you…but even though I feel you really don’t care what I’m doing NEW YEARS EVE (although I wish you did) I’ll go ahead and tell you anyway that I’m dateless but not depressed. It would be nice to have someone to spend it with and have that beautiful warm, wonderfull, tender kiss at the stroke of midnight, but it’s so hard to find someone that is smart enough to really love me and that’s what I want…something real for a change. Otherwise, forget it…I would rather be alone…no heartbreak and pain free. Yes, I’m scared…and scarred. HEY! Another great title for one of my hit songs, SCARED AND SCARRED! I think I’ll write it! That’s TWO new songs I need to write lately..I need to get busy……
this is ridiculously cute, and yes please, get married, have babies and be that couple in hollywood that MAKES it. You babies would be sooo beaut…so please, have a LOT!
Have a great 2012 Hellogiggles
Two wonderful people, you will both have an amazing year to come, thanks for all the incredible work so far. I look forward to seeing both of you get the credit that is due to you.
Loved it! Heard Joe on the Bob Rivers show last week. He is great even when they put him on the spot and made him sing. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!
Zooey is so beautifully chic, and Joseph is my favorite actor! Such an adorable video! Please make more! (I especially liked his giggle at the end ^.^)
Zooey, I think you are just about the most adorable thing I have ever seen….well, except for my sweet lil puppy dog This version of you and Joseph singing is absolutely wonderful, and I would love to see more from you, or both of you! If you would take a request for “Shine on Harvest Moon” well, it just might make the world (yes, the WHOLE world) a better place
Zooey, you will forgive me but I was unfamiliar with your singing voice until the “Elf” movie and I am still getting used to the brunette long hair look. When i heard you sing, I love your unique “sound” forgive my ignornace but i am looking forward to a Jazz album, unless you have one already. The New Years Eve song was a rip! Thanks- lots of fun!
So cute! Big fan! You share my brother’s b-day and my sister’s vegan lifestyle. She has a great blog and cookbook out if you need some great recipes!
Happy New Year!
Sweet renition I’m not sure why you’re citing Nancy Wilson, she’s just one of many who have performed this song. The song was written by Frank Loesser.
