  • I will hear your new CD, I must obey

  • buy the city isn't censored. Plus it's edited for the kids on youtube.

  • @iolson00 What does that even mean!? "Buy the city isn't censored."

  • ben remains to be one of the greatest song writers of all time. his hilarious yet genius lyrics mixed with the amazing piano and melody grabs my heart everytime. he is a huge inspiration to me and my brother who just dropped a new music video on our channel, if you gotta second check it out, you may like it, piano based rock, anyway, have a good evening. ben is the best.

  • Such a great song. But why on earth did they censor out the word "shit"? This isn't television.

  • O.O NO FREAKING WAY. Ben Folds sand this! I've loved this song since I was little! And it was Ben Folds the whole time. WOOOOWWW. :D

  • what no one saw John McCrea?

  • this is the most underrated song ever 

  • ya gotta love this song :D

  • Comment removed

  • And yes it DOES say 'Korn Sucks' at 4.01

  • Vevo...if you can't handle the word 'shitty' then maybe you aren't fit to present the videos. Fuck you you commercial, corporate, money obsessed wankers.

  • i came here from over the hedge....

  • It's ironic because the Michael Jackson parts are now truly in past tense.

  • Sucks====> Rocks :D

  • what the fucks wrong with his nose at the start

  • Look closely - "Korn Sucks" 4:01

  • @unbrokentoys I don't see anything about Korn sucking

  • @SuperZeldaBros64 is exactly at 4:00 you have to pause it to really see it but it does say it

  • @haybaybayily I still don't see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That nose part in the beginning always catches me off guard.

  • 1:53

    That about sums it up. Loved it.

  • Which is why I don't listen to Rage Against the Machine and Korn anymore.

  • is this a joke?

  • @pianooo4447 obvisouly

  • i remember seeing this video in 2001 on mtv and much music getting some airplay during the summer months before 9/11 then after 9/11 it seemed to disappear from video rotation ...

  • wow... this video is 10 years old.... AND I STILL LOVE IT

  • this song was the closing credits to "over the hedge"

  • This was produced by Weird Al. In case you didn't already know that.

  • today's music:

    gets me real pissed off it makes wanna say

    FUCK!

  • You couldn't get your own band, even though that he's rockin' the suburbs, and so you cloned yourself.

  • Actually, Ben, Folds, I do. *Closes browser*

  • I'm all alone in my white girl pain.

  • such a lipsync

  • @FPSGamerz3 it’s hard to clone yourself to play all the instruments and not lip sync.

  • Comment removed

  • I've been going back through and watching all the Ben Fold's videos after listening to The Best Imitation of Myself album the past couple weeks. This stuff never gets old.

  • 2:57 too bad middle class doesn't exist anymore :-(

  • Ben Folds has a new album out! "Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective" ...This album is addictive!!

  • I just listened to his new record "Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective" on Spotify, and it's amazing!!!!! Who's heard it?!

  • Best part of the video? The Rush shirt \m/

  • Over the hedge :)

  • Agent Smith is rockin tha suburbs like an O.G at 2:57

  • Marley&Me <3

  • This song and video is hilarious, but you know, when it first came out, there were probably tons of teenagers who didn't get the joke and thought it was "cool" because it was like all their other angry white-boy music. I remember seeing this on MTV, and I think it even made it onto TRL. I can't believe it's because the mindless drones who watch MTV actually got Ben's joke, but because they thought it was supposed to be serious.

  • god you remind me of my cousin so damn much!

  • I recon his pretty talented to make this song, or the sub-producer is

  • his kids go to my school and they are so freaking cool

  • thumbs for Marley & Me õ/

  • @JeffHardyXExtreme thumbs up whore

  • that was such a funny joke XD Jon Bon Jovi talented hahaha

  • Love Ben Folds. He rocks, like, totally. I have this album & it like totally rocks too.I guess cos its his. Far out & groovy !

  • buenos recuerdos

  • #white wine

  • I feel his angry drum playing rage

  • Korn Sucks

  • *sigh* This isn't TV, radio or any other FCC regulated medium. What's so bad about the word SHIT? Dislike for pointless censorship.

  • @GryffinDarkBreed At what point did he say SHIT in the video... '>.<

  • @GameDroid98 he didn't cuz its censored... but the part where shit was supposed to be was about 3 seconds into the video XD

  • @GameDroid98 "Some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks"

  • @GryffinDarkBreed This was censored for TV : /

  • @GryffinDarkBreed This is just the music video released in 2001 posted on the internet in 2009. The original music video was censored so that it could be aired on TV and the reposting of it on the internet contains the same censorship. Vevo didn't recensor it.

  • @GryffinDarkBreed It was made in 2001 back then they censored a lot so give it a break man

  • @GryffinDarkBreed I thought the point of the censor was to make the imitation of the crappy 90's teen rock band perfect.

  • anyone else think ben looks better with the glasses on? you gotta love this though ....42 people arent rockin the suburbs

  • the dislikers are uptight and dont know how to have fun :P

  • Surprisingly, no views from Iran...

  • @kevkeys70 you know they have a strict policy on rocking suburbs

  • 41 people "shamed off"

  • This video Proves that he could have easily Edited the Ben folds is not merton vid to have him spliced in as both lol.

  • 41 people thought the dislike button was a download button

  • He's crazy, I rock it ^^

  • did anyone else see weird al?

  • @joelx1000 and the dude from cake behind them

  • @joelx1000 -- Just those of us with eyes.

  • @cynopt ok kewl what about those who are blind because they still have eyes

  • @joelx1000

    If they were blind they still wouldn't be able to see your comment.

  • @Inky472 copy paist to microsoft sam or get a friend to read to them

  • @joelx1000

    Fair play.

    Carry on sir.

  • @joelx1000 Yes. Weird Al directed the music video.

  • Listen to 'she likes me for me' - an almost rip off of Blessid union of souls song 6 years earlier. Especially the last bridge in the song. Surprised he didnt get sued.

  • @carbonpictures Sounds like nothing more than coincidence to me. They're not that much alike.

  • thumbs up if you are tired of the over the hedge crap. its a great song. and a great film. leave it at that.

  • People, seriously, understand this is not the over the hedge edit! It is his own work and not a twist to fit a movie. I like both version but this version...I mean he says fuck.

  • over the hedge brought me here

  • 2:56

    MMMiister Anderson

    

  • @TheCelticTiger32 it's Neo

  • Is it just me or is it out of sync? Which is annoying cos I fuckin love this video

  • @haribo687 I think your pc might have been lagging abit maybe

  • im a lower class black guy who loves this song LMAO

  • Pause the video at 4 minutes. 4:00 You'll see "korn sucks"

  • white boy pain. isnt it just the worst?

  • this song is just not the same when they mute the cussing!

  • Ben Folds is the man. The man

  • @Lefiath he is; still tryin to do this one lol, wrecked me guitar!

  • @Panasonic574 That¨s a shame, but at least it went down for a good reason :)

  • @Lefiath you rite, a got 7 so not a prob, aggressive music begs it, he plays it all and drummers are all mad lol

  • Not even people living in the suburbs know what it's like.

  • just... WOW

  • 722722 views........ epic xD

  • 40 persons don't face the fact that some producer with computers fixes all their shitty tracks

  • Comment removed

  • CLICK ON: disccentury, MY MUSIC, NEVER SEEN

  • I love how Weird Al is the producer with computers

  • Came out exactly 10 years ago. On the day something else happened.

  • Nice!

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the censored bits were intentional. It's part of the satire.

  • @Jourreve yeahh its censored. in the non censored version he does in fact yell the f-word :P

  • @scarymeerkat Ah, never mind then. xD

  • This is a cool song but VEVO sucks for posting the censored version.

  • ben folds...i love you!

  • What a god?!? fuckin good song! congratulation from Belgium!

  • I never get tired of this song! Love it!

  • LOVE this, HATE VEVO

  • thumbs up if you are still watching over the hedge in 2011

  • The funny thing is that, if Ben Folds could clone himself, this could totally happen.

  • fuck vevo

  • Goddmanit why is vevo censored? This is so fucking stupid. I'm always two clicks away from shemale scat porn and snuff films, I can handle hearing "fuck"

  • does any one else notice that he's playing the drums left handed and guitars righty?

  • 27 Bens in this video still aren't enough.

  • YEA NIGGAZ

  • I remember hearing this song on Over the Hedge

  • @The12cas Best .. Movie... Of my entire childhood.. .Loved it.. Still watch it at times to this day......... :) Yet .. Im 15... gotta get a life lmfao >.<

  • ben folds is just so cool

  • I can't believe it's been almost--if not--ten years. One of the best music videos, it's so quirky.

  • Im black and once hung around w/ black supremicist and w/ this song even they cant logically say the "it wasnt my idea" line was racist. This entire song is a parody. So is that line. Relax, Relate, Release ppl.

  • over the hedge took me here

  • i  luv the song

  • Slavery??? Really??? Just enjoy a great song!!!
