Ashley Greene doppelgänger Lenka has a new video out, and like the singer herself, it is, as the French say, tres ador...ablay. "Heart Skips A Beat" is the first single from Lenka's upcoming sophomore album, Two, out April 19, and we seriously cannot decide what's more charming -- the song or the video.

Lenka starts "Heart Skips A Beat" with an homage to the world's most frustrating board game, Operation. (Seriously! That buzzing? Ahh!) The doctors are fast at work operating on a light-up Lenka, who's a lot cuter than the Operation guy. An all-fixed-up Lenka hops off the operating table to join four men dressed as stethoscopes in a dance routine, all while remaining almost irritatingly cute (we say this out of jealousy) in her little blue June Cleaver dress.

"Heart Skips A Beat" not only showcases Lenka's retro style. It also makes us want to have a 1960s dance party (no hippies allowed). Any takers?

That sweet "I'm just a little bit caught in the middle/ Life is a maze and love is a riddle" coming-of-age/ soundtrack-of-self-discovery song you've heard on all those Ugly Betty promos and in commercials for Old Navy? That's Lenka. Her song "Don't Let Me Fall" was in the premiere episode of the new 90210 (it's like Gossip Girl, but less OMG-ier!) And if there were a Sara Bareilles/ Yael Naim/ Emily Haines school of songwriting, the Aussie singer-songwriter would its fourth member. (The former Decoder Ring singer's also a deadringer for Rose McGowan, except Lenka is really cute and not frightening.)

Watch Lenka's incredibly darling new video, "The Show" -- very Feist-y without as much awkward dancing -- and listen to her self-titled album before it hits stores next week at VH1.com.
