Foster the People’s ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ and ‘Houdini’ Videos

Foster the People on SNLI’ll admit it – I’m totally addicted to Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks,” so much so that it’s a good thing it’s impossible to wear out a track on an iPod.
 
The group joined Ben Stiller for the October 8, 2011 episode of Saturday Night Live, performing both “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Houdini” (another song I can’t get enough of, along with “Helena Beat”). Lead singer Mark Foster, drummer Mark Pontius and bassist Cubbie Fink delivered two terrific performances, and the surprise musical guest for “Houdini” was a great addition (albeit a slightly distracting one).
