  • @bringyourownslinky Ugh. Fuck you.

  • This is an awesome re-vamping of a Flaming Lips classic. I've always been a huge fan of both Ben Folds and The Flaming Lips. Seeing this just made my day.

  • guys dancing in the background ftw

  • this is wonderful ben. ah. bff for life

  • Robert Sledge says " ASS - ALENE!

  • Comment removed

  • As awesome as the Flaming lips are, this cover is the superior version of She Don't Use Jelly.

  • frociame

  • Love the random dancers

  • holy hell

  • Maybe the best cover I've ever heard...

    I need to get some work done, but I can't seem to stop watching this!

  • 1:00 for rapist- mullet head bob...

  • darren's voice is so different here. i'm used to hearing him singing in a lower tone and in slower songs, but i like his voice here. :)

  • I love the dancing guys at 3:45

  • @1:14 fucking great dancing

  • One of my favorite bands covering onve of my favorite bands

  • It may not be a note-for-note cover of the original Flaming Lips song, but it sure as hell sounds a lot like ANY song by The Fifth Dimension. A good song nonetheless.

  • guy at 3:30 caught head lice.

  • Ben's so young! He barely looks like himself. I mean, WOW! How old is this?

  • @MayberryRebel this is probably like 13 years old or something i'd guess.

  • Fuckin' Bossa Jelly.

  • Ben Folds Five: 'Let's take this Flaming Lips song and create our own unique, creative tribute to it and the band because we love it so much!'

    Flaming Lips Fans: 'Fuck you.'

    The mind boggles.

  • looks like the rapist at 0:59 was havin fun......

  • awww hes soo young!

  • The studio version of this is awesome. Very Burt Bacharach!

  • for some reason i cant reply to some posts, but to the uberpretentious doucher who said that this is the worst cover ever and that Ben Folds is boring, etc. tripe and that Flaming Lips are your favorite...

    to you, i hang my head, giggle and say:

    of course they are, you ridiculously humorless epitome of a waste.

  • The harmonies during the chorus are spot on!

    

  • that was fucking cool.

  • Wow! They're all so young!

  • another great song.

  • How is the audience sitting still through this? They look miserable! I'd be squealing and practically pissing myself in ecstasy. They'd have to escort me out.

  • Atrocious smartass crap. God. I feel violated.

  • @mantra3000 We're starting a charity to buy you a sense of humour. Have courage.

  • @Green28142814 Just what I was talking about.

  • i love flaming lips  and i miss trumpets in that version like i have from Ben folds ,nice video thanks for posting

  • I can't decide what's more awesome - the fantastic music or the really bad dancing of the guy in the background @ 1:15 who then moonwalks @ 2:10....

  • @whyarepeoplesounkind I don't know, I thought my dance moves were really cool! LOL

  • what dvd is this from?

  • @drewbrewful Its a performance from the show Sessions at West 54. I've watched it and its awesome if you like Ben Folds Five.

  • @drewbrewful It's called: ''The complete session at west 54th'' by Ben Folds Five

  • @drewbrewful 'Ben Folds Five :Sessions at West 54th" I have it, it's amazing.

  • Ele chupou foi a Bossa Nova da minha terra e fudeu com a música, isso sim! Curto demais Jazz e tb amo música Alternativa, mas isso chega a ser tosco! !! Prefiro a original!

  • @GoodGoodFriend if humans are pathetic then were does that leave you at you idiot

  • stunning!

  • my favorite song. thank you robert! K.

  • What is with the dancing men?

  • my god this rocks

  • Sick!

    In both ways.

  • Possibly one of the worst covers I've ever heard...

    Though I guess Ben Fold's particular brand of bland AOR tripe doesn't exactly appeal to my tastes, whereas the Flaming Lips are possibly my favourite band ever.

  • @GoodGoodFriend you sir are pathetic

  • I'm not really getting all the negative comments (and the 4 star rating for that matter). Clearly you're not a true music fan if you don't at the very least respect this remake. You need to recognize the creativity that went into this. Listen to one, then listen to the other. Would you even know it was the same song if you took out the lyrics?

  • not sold

  • freaking awesome

  • Hey vance!!

    You ripped this off my DVD! lol

    Remember when we did this at the prom assembly?!

    BAH! Miss ya buddy!

  • I adore The Flaming Lips and I think this is an excellent cover. I'm gonna check out more of this Ben Folds feller.

  • @cpokey: Ben Folds is great, take that from a fellow Flaming Lips fan.

  • @cpokey he's just great

  • haha, its far too softer jazz for me to even be angry and how bad it is

  • I think you need to calm down :-) Ben Folds Five didn't make this song to 'challenge' the original, but as a tribute to the greatness of the song, it's a compliment to The Flaming Lips. As to why everyone thinks it's better than the original, I'm not sure because I like the original better myself, but people are entitled to their opinion. I think everyone that loves "Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit should love the original by The Who but insulting them certainly won't help my case.

  • great cover.. very ben foldsy.. lol .. Nothing compares to the original however.

  • @phlizmo this song beats the original

  • @macemasterdizzle why anyone would think such a thing is beyond my comprehension but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

  • hes from bluezcluez

  • Fuck, this is horrible.

  • this is so awful

  • Seriously, i was sorta anxious to see this but I have to agree with GoodGoodFriend. Honestly, I wish I hadn't watched it ((

  • nice coctail jazz version of this song...although i dont regard it as better than the original, it creates a vibe that the other does not, so, i can dig it

  • Now this is constructive criticism. Something I'm not used to seeing on youtube.

  • this is as better than the original as it can get...

  • niice! very jazzy. I originaly heard this song on Beavis and Butthead when I was a kid.

  • i like this version better

  • nice cover

  • The actual recording is better... better pitch and cooler instroments... But an awesome song... dont really understand it lol...

  • @emanemc123 since the original singer was also the original composer I think the pitch is best the way Wayne delivered it.

  • Oh this song kicks ass.  Especially how the 5 do it!
