Ben Lee by the Ataris (ben lee sucks)

[PopPunkUW]

Who the fuck is Ben lee?

[TheBurninator15]

whats the tension between the artists about?

[BJMFAN94]

Funny thing that the Ataris's only 15 minutes of fame was because they covered a song from the 80's and Ben lee had his '15 mintues' for making his own music. Which one is the real artist here?

[SovaySovay]

Ben lee's version is better

[waitthatsmybike]

i love ben lee, but this song is awesome. though i think he's more cat stevens than bob dylan.

[HeroDanny]

"Ben Lee's version is better"? You have got to be using my tongue as toilet paper, that is the biggest lie ever, Ben Lee is a FAGGOT!

[JEP1776AEP]

@HeroDanny fuck u

[HeroDanny]

@JEP1776AEP No, you.

[bobbielovesyouxo]

This is hilarious on so many level oh my goodness

[justlikeataris]

This version is much better and raw.

Even though it probably only took half an hour to write.

Kris is awesome!

[jrack13]

wait.... is that a penis on his head?

[jrack13]

lol its a joke song, all you need to calm down! lol

[guitarfreak186]

bad picture, bad singing and bad quality

very bad

[guitarfreak186]

bad picture

[chappo85]

you people don't even know why kris roe wrote this do you?

[thirtyseconds1984]

@chappo85 Please tell!

[tamikadoll]

What's ironic is that Kris Roe/ The Ataris sing that Ben Lee repackages and processes music for the world (implying that he is a sellout) yet The Ataris did a cover of 'Boys of Summer' which was nicely processed and repackaged for the popular music audience.

[chappo85]

@tamikadoll that is a cover...... he is accusing ben lee of stealing bob dylan's material. Big difference

[azzad10]

these guys need to learn how to sing

[claudial99]

Ben Lee did a far better version than the Ataris

[27Suken27]

ataris' version is better

[Jay4P]

ben lee version FTW

[BIGLYLEMAC]

hahahaha ben lees version is so much better

[antzo8]

Didn't The Chaser do a Ben Lee hate song? I thought that was better than this.

[Marz2605]

his cover of this is pretty good

[PunnyLolBuffalo]

A non-mainstream artist with a conventional sound criticizing a mainstream artist with a conventional sound. Next on hypocrite theater: Ayn Rand calls Nietzche a douchebag.

[rhizomatical]

Poor Nietzche. First he dies of syphillus, then he gets compared to Ben Lee.

[USCTrojan2004]

@rhizomatical ha ha ha. Is this the guy from Def Karaoke Jam singing this version??

[shadesofblack07]

ummmm.... this whole thing is sad: people hating on one another.

even though i dont like either ben lee, or the ataris....

ben lee does a better job at this song.

[Deinonychosauria]

I don't even know how I got to this page. =/ Dear God, where the hell am I?

[menliketwilightto]

fuck ben lee he copie modest mouse float on cuz he wishes he had talent

[abcefg9674]

i dont even know who this fellow is

[iLoseTechnology]

YEAH BEN LEE! Honestly Ben Lee sings 'Ben Lee' better

[HeroDanny]

wow, your ridiculous

[nassi84]

I saw Ben play last night in London and he covered this song. I'd never heard of it before; I actually thought he'd written it himself until I researched it just now. I think Ben is an absolute champion for embracing the hatred and blatant criticism that the Ataris have shown, by ultimately turning a negative working against him into a positive working for him. I think we can all learn something here. Ben rocks!

[smokerl777]

hahah the ataris must feel prety stupid now that ben covered it and plays it at his gigs

i used to like the atraris, but this song made them look like stereotypical american assholes

[PlumeOverBlade]

The fact that Ben Lee plays this at his concerts just shows what a prick he really is. Have you ever seen a Ben Lee interview, or how he acts in his videos? He's arrogant and unoriginal.

Stereotypical American assholes? Yeah, that's why the Australian band Klinger has a hate song for him too. If you have two hate songs written about you by pretty easygoing bands, you must be an asshole.

[thettruest]

how he acts in his videos?? Ben Lee never publicly said anything to provoke this song. Go research it, there is no apparent rhyme or reason for it existing and he himself has said in interviews he does not know why they took a shot

Klinger doesn't have a hate song for him. More like a tongue in cheek admiration/joke song. Grow the fuck up kid

[PlumeOverBlade]

Please... The guy's more arrogant than Liam Gallagher.  Sure, he may not go around saying he's the best thing since the Beatles, but he sure as hell implies it.

Don't tell me I don't understand Klinger's song. It's not a "tongue in cheek admiration/joke song". It's a satire against Ben Lee, and more clever than the Ataris version as well. I need to "grow the fuck up"? You couldn't even interpret their song correctly.

Oh, and thanks for assuming I'm a thirteen-year-old idiot.

[SizzlingMonkey]

I personally don't mind him that much, The songs pretty funny. You're right, He is a little arrogant bastard. You don't have to be left or right wing to enjoy this song, It's pretty spot on.

[cliffpup]

ATARIS SUCK

[cliffpup]

ha ben lee's version is well better

[anarchyforthepeople]

ATARIS! always and forever!

ohh yea, Ben lee is a big fart.

[nastradamus84]

hahahahahahaha ben lee is coverin this song on his new album.... and its even better than this bullshit

fuckin ataris :)

[leakeg]

haha yeah Ben Lee went up like 20 notches in my book when I heard this song today! Plus Ben Lee's version is at least 15 times better than this.

[aminonice]

it's funny that this song exists cause i was just having the same thought VERBATIM during this ben lee dj session on the radio today. ben lee does really suck. it's an unfortunate fact.

[JaniceRider]

Ben Lee was writing better songs than this when he was 2. Ataris Sucks. "Division is not the answer!"

[timelleb]

jeez this guy is the most girly fuckin wimp on the planet.

[kraftykroat85]

hey ben lee does suck hahaha

[Tankovic23]

I guess this song's come to an end

I'll say good bye until we meet again

you better stay out of my town

cause if i had way

I'd call up snoop, ice cube, and dr. dre

we'd come and beat you down

[Tankovic23]

a lot goes on but nothing happens but this time that's not true i wrote this song for you to tell you that your 15 minutes of fame are almost up yea one more thing, Ben Lee you suck Bob Dylan must be kinda pissed cause you've been writing all his hits packaged and reprocessed for the world I'd love to kick you in the face break your legs and throw you from a train cause you're such a fucking girl and I cant stand it

[Tankovic23]

I never met someone so jaded

your music's really over rated

nothing but a lot of pretentious noise

I know that claire danes is your chick

to me you're just some ugly prick who got lucky

cause he knew the Beastie Boys

and I cant stand it

[hellfish271]

ben lee is a asshole

[sulakid]

BEN LEE ROCKS!!!! He didn't do anything. I'm not trying to be mean ,but how does he suck I think he has an origanal sound. Most people don't understand that.(again not trying to be mean)

[Tankovic23]

you suck to, you happy? shut the fuck up

[sulakid]

I was trying to be polite. You don't have to be rude to me. I'm sorry I don't agree with some people but don't take it personaly.

[imstoned6]

Haha, love this song, thanks for putting it up.

[isaaccostas]

do someone has the lyrics of this song. I dont know enought english to understand well the lyrics and I love the melody.

Thnks

[TheGenericBrand]

lol, I love this song and wish they would put it on their new album, maybe as a bonus track or something hidden.

long live The Ataris and Kris Roe!

[corublo]

[Tankovic23]

[Tankovic23]
