Willow ,'Get It Done'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

tUnE-yArDs (that's two videos there). Seems like Kimbra is doing something similar, although tUnE-yArDs seem a little edgier (i.e. preferable) to me.
Here is tUnE-yArDs playing live, showing how Merrill creates her drum and vocal loops on stage when performing.
