Ben Lee - American Television

[missprissy0712]

So no one watched this bc of Tiffani Theissen...the song was good too but ilh!

[JEP1776AEP]

Ben has the voice of an angel, and is super sexy cool

[ZyxthePest]

This is why i love Ben Lee. He always inhabits a new form of music to tell his story. Can people honestly compare Breathing Tornados and Grandpaw Would or the upcoming Deeper Into The Dream to Awake Is The New Sleep? It's always been about variety for Ben and I respect him for not dishing out the same thing twice.

[mrfwest]

@sandrodream1 oh yes, that was very funny { sarcasm }

[thosegreengentlemen]

i always thought he looks like the yonger version of kevin bacon

[MJinmyheart1000]

Actors take part in the project with the limited possibilities, they are invalids. The leading role in the project is executed by Gagik Ajdinja (Michael Jackson) - it the actor hard of hearing, the professional dancer and Nadja Shtyrina of 16 years-vocalists. Проет has allowed to it huge force to struggle with a serious illness and it has turned out. The girl has started to go itself.

[MJinmyheart1000]

We want to go round all countries with the project, to stage our show and the earned money to transfer to sick children-it a project main objective

[sidnaa213]

I got to meet Ben a few years back. He is THE sweetest little Australian. Seriously.

[katiebird400]

Ben Lee is soooo Cute. <3 I LOVE this song and Ben Lee/

[Jollaz10]

The end, where people's faces morph into someone elses face, reminds me of one of the michael Jackson videos (maybe black and white)

[Aisle3Comedy]

Doogie Howser FTW.

[TwiPrime]

lol@ the jurors :)

[beargrylls3]

seems crappy at first but becomes the best song EVER after listening to it a few times

[qyet121csx]

@beargrylls3 he copied the beat from soul asylum- runaway train though...

[beargrylls3]

@qyet121csx oh well that kinda sucks... oh well i like it

[hyperswivel]

@qyet121csx I'm a Ben Lee fan, but I just checked and you're right. They are really similar. Could be coincidence, or he could be a fan who was influenced by Soul Asylum. Doesn't mean both songs can't be great, but one thing is for sure. You've got a great ear!

[DisneyChannelPromte]

I bet it was so fun to tape all the parodies lol :)

[DisneyChannelPromte]

I would love to meet him.

[reppahhh]

Reading these comments has actually made me stupider.

[TechTutorials96]

My name is Ben Lee lol

[xXTouchMyToxicXx]

1:49

I couldn't stop laughing. I love this guy! XD

[USCTrojan2004]

@xXTouchMyToxicXx it is pretty funny, but I wish Tiffani Amber Theissen had agreed to do the My Kapowski video instead of this one...

[sainthavoc88]

im an american so i know american tv is fucking lame, but i cannot even begin to think how shitty aussi televison must be.....i can already guess about the music considering this TOOL Ben Lee!

[payyoursurgeon]

@sainthavoc88 really? stop being a trollololololol. gtfo of ben lee awesome music videos.

[sainthavoc88]

@payyoursurgeon OH HEY THERE it's you!!! lol there's just something about this guy that gets to me...yes he is obviously doing something right and i do not knock him for chasing a dream ......but IN MY OPINION which i am entitled to, I just don't like the guy's music....to me it's missing something and I cannot connect with it.....but jesus christ dude, if im "trolling" then you are doing the same exact thing to me......calm down eat a lollypop and enjoy some Ben Lee songs that you love so much

[payyoursurgeon]

@sainthavoc88 alright see, this comment didn't piss me off as much. i see where you're coming from now and respect you for explaining. the other comments were just arrogant and rude and i wasn't trolling. lol. i was just checking out the videos from him and i saw a thousand comments from your user name. sorry for the mishap man.

[sainthavoc88]

@payyoursurgeon yeah i was trolling the shit out of Ben's music videos and kinda feel lame now but idk thats just me i guess....i hate being a typical YouTuber that doesnt like something so they comment how much they hate it...i get bored easily and watching youtube doesnt help any...but yeah the guy really isn't so bad after awhile he kinda rubs off on ya....i guess i should stop being an ass and give stuff a little more time to sink in...i have to admit i do like "ciggarettes will kill you" :)

[payyoursurgeon]

@sainthavoc88 haha. i know what you mean man. youtube is time consuming. mostly in a bad way. lol. but yeah, i just hate when people constantly try to start something on a youtube video just to be a giant ass. it's like seriously? "YOUTUBE ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING YOU LIKE. why you wasting time with something you don't like?" haha. he does get catchy! i admit it as well. and that's a pretty good song!

[sainthavoc88]

@payyoursurgeon haha yep well said :)

[brennal1979]

too funny

[whataboutyermom]

best. song. evarr <3 lmfao

[Kazuhiko97]

I LOVE YOU Ben Lee!!! XD

I like this song!

[dohertyz]

2:15 FTW

[dohertyz]

Ben Lee and Ben Kweller are awesome

Ben Folds is okay

[LadyCrimson]

I wish I had orange juice vision like Ralf.

[labgirl432]

Ralf scares me...

[Padgilord]

Just like Pedobear :D

[dmabcde7]

ilove you ben!!

[k81950]

whats with the insults? does it really matter? if you don't like the song, then don't listen to it. its that simple. but for those that don't like it, then leave. because the rest of us DO like Ben. :)

[sulakid]

THANK GOD, SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE! I totally agree.

[bjoh2]

Catchy song that. Up there with 'Cigarettes'.

[luvmeorleveme]

Just found him and already love him!!!

[progkidjoel]

A fun song :)

I like it.

[wetboudly]

Damn, even the monkey puppets have super powers... even if that power is juice vision

[goaldrush]

He's based over in america these days so when he gets back over here in australia, he watches the same shows over here.

[jonkaa2]

your mum is weak

[ivegotablackgf]

good comeback asshole, now call your mum off of my dick

[OmniaVincit414]

I hate to interrupt the exchange of insults, but that mom joke made me laugh.

[07kje07]

cool,they have american tv in Australia!

[jpicko94]

well duh!

i live in Australia and only 1/10 shows are actually Australian... most are from America.

[07kje07]

i did not know that because i am American, how would i know!

[jpicko94]

I'm sorry, it's just Australians get sterotyped so much, it sort of pisses me off Dx

[07kje07]

oh, i'm sorry if i offended you in anyway, i didn't mean too, and i didn't know that Australians get stereotyped...

i think Australia is an amazing country(i have family there) and i really want to visit it someday!

[Gezajozsi]

lucky guy... xD

[jamstrat]

The melody of the lyrics is really similiar to a Soul Asylum song, still a good tune though, I like Bens earlier stuff.

[madheine]

Hunh?? Wich song of Soul Asylum??

[jamstrat]

runaway train

[colemann76]

Youre right

[purplefrogkg]

this song is amazing!

;D

[iluvjonasbros123abct]

I love this song! I play it over and over again on itunes!

[Tsakurokur]

"Ditto. This song is actually the inspiration to a comic I'm making. It's such a good song, message and tune."

[fvoorst]

I love the Bruce springsteen reference in the beginning(the flag, jeans & bandana) and it's just a great song

[rockerchick5197]

this song is so fun but cool at the same time^-^

[haileygirl678]

i l o v e this song its so random and funny

[Homecomingdisaster]

This is such a catchy song. The first time I heard this song was on a comerical for VH1 and I though to myself " I have to get this song". This is a well done for me.

[bobthemelbournian]

LOL I love this video!

[BlueHadion]

Great songs and funny video. Keep going Ben Lee!

[an1mefang1rl]

[aussiebeachbum07]

HA! why don't you invite me to your house so you can bash me up like those whores on youtube a while ago huh????

[charley424242]

i dont know what it is..

but for some reason i think he is extremly hot :D hahahaha.

like when he's on vh1 talking about songs of the 90's hahaha. :D

[wakingthepoolboy]

I always pictured Ben Lee much older than he actually is.

His voice is old man husky.

not baddd though.

[Blondeathrt73]

Great song, love Tiffani!

[BlueSamris]

whats he talking about?

[SamanthaJackson]

one my of my fav songs, and the video totally ROCKS too. Ben is the best

[ColdMitts]

Oh man was that night court?!

[baikobaek]

I love English TV.

[aussiebeachbum07]

hes an attention whore soo annoying.

[beatlefreak4647]

how should i put this n an elegant way? ok lets see... ok FUCK YOU. I think i got my point across.

[lolmusical]

kwel

[x600GBx]

ben lee sux

[ToasterZombie]

This pretty much sums it up.

[HelloBrownCow]

I like this. It has a good tune! =)

[colemann76]

Should have been a hit

[Pulfisher]

Awesome! and the final morph black & white homenage it's priceless!!

[AulAntoine]

Awesome song. And Tiffani is wonderful...

[aaacacaas]

Is the medical one scrubs?

[gem61580]

It's "Doogie Howser" the 16 year old Dr. lol

[wingzack3ry]

I'm pretty sure it is Doogie Howser, M.D.

Maybe

[gem61580]

Haha...I feel so old now! LOL I grew up watching all these shows...

[kmburlee]

wow Ben Lee is the best, he amazes me so much! This song is so true....

[afothers1]

Good video. =]

Hey does anyone know where to get the shirt that Tiffani Thiessen is wearing at 0:24?

Thanks a heap.

=]

[bigballer398]

walmart

[AcDcFAN4321]

I want that ES-335

Cherry Red=Best color

[cutepenguin09]

lmao i luv ben lee! he rocks!

[LaStranger10]

funny!

[shuckslbj]

Just saw Ben Lee play with Folds and a few others. I didn't like him before, but I've got a big amount of respect for him now. There was this ridiculous string of technical problems that plagued his entire set one after another and he handled it very artfully and calmly. He was pretty funny. Seemed like a nice chap.

I think he looks like Mike frmo Incubus.

[JF13lbn]

Ben Lee is the man. Saw him in concert and he was fantastic.

[evry1suksbutme23]

Ben Lee+Power Glove= AWESOMENESS

[dexbuddy]

greatest video featuring the power glove EVER!

[skylinepaul]

damm he looks like JOHN MCENROE!!!

[jesskita]

whatever at least he is himself. or not typical.

[nickiholland]

lol.

he's changed waay too much, since his Rage at Placid Lake... I think that's what it's called... days.

[purplefrogkg]

ahh, love this song. can't keep it otta my head. ben looks pretty hot in the black shirt lolol :p

[ashb1019]

gosh i LOVE this song AND Ben lee. he's so hot especially in the suit! lol well no matter what he's hot but still, this video was SO funny i could watch/hear it 24/7

[nukifux]

the end should be made into a gif :D

[thefrayfan101]

ha, i love this music video!!! ^-^

[theslayer22]

doesnt matter id it's selling out yet, it's still a good song.

[colemann76]

This not a sell out, it doesnut even sound that different to his older stuff and it hasn't even been a hit yet so how can it be a sell out?

[loiscotee15]

i don't know what you all are freaking out about! i think the song is just fine, and just becuase somebody is actually listening to it does not mean it's "selling out"

[lovelydream15951]

check out catch my disease by been lee its good too its a lil older

[aegergser]

good song it talks about his memorys

[Sierrajet1]

i know the guy who plays the dad in the music video i swear hes my music teachers husband

[qyet121csx]

i beleive u =)

[Megglen]

I love this video! And why isn't Ralf in 'About This Video'?

[kerriberry118]

haha.... this song is awesome! and the video is niceeee

[tofud00d]

iv'e seriously never heard of this guy, but when i first saw this video on the mtv show "fresh", i like instantly loved it!

[ShaniC]

This video is classic, literally. It was almost like flashing back to my 80s tv watching days. And the addition of Tiffani Thiessen was brilliant.

[mycommercials]

I was a Ben Lee fan back in 1996. It's sad to see him resort to this, when he was making brilliant music back when he was 18.

[ohthatkristin]

I think all of his music is brilliant, just in different ways. This was a great pop record - you can't deny that.

[kevinherbert]

ohstahtkristin: Yeah..it 'was' a great pop record genre in the early 1980's when this style first emerged..now it's boring pop pap...I'm suprised he can put his hand out for the money...

[amillionminutes]

I know! What an idiot for having money. Anyone who wants money must be stupid.

[mycommercials]

It sounds as if he went out of his way to make a pop album that will sell only to the lucrative teenage market. He's made incredible music for over a decade, but now he's dumbed his innovative pop songwriting down to pop garbage. I'm just saying as someone who knows his potential, this album was a kick in the balls

[ohthatkristin]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I was a little disappointed when I first heard the album - I really thought he was a sellout. But I've grown to love it anyway.

[qyet121csx]

good song but its kind of a COPY of

"soul asylum- runaway train"

see for yourself foos

[JonasBrothers4ever05]

this is such an awesome vidoe

[SilverTimberwolf]

Hey I saw this video and heard it on VH1 one time.Real funny video byu the way.LOL

[colemann76]

The best song on Ripe

[ricane89]

wow tiffani still looks good

[natldo2]

Ben lee is an extremely talented individual,i have every Ben Lee album and absolutely love his music and appreciate his involvement in the Australian music industry.Ben Lee started in a band at 14 in a band called noise addict at 16 his first solo album was released;grandpaw would in 95,in 97 something to remember me by,93 breathing tornados,05 hey you yes you,05awake is the new sleep,06 i tunes originals,07 Ben Lee sings,07 ripe.Ben has taken out 6 arias and has been nominated for another 7.

[natldo2]

Away with the pixies was in 96,94 pop queen,02 something borrowed something blue,06 were all in this together,06 gamble everything for love.

Ben was also in a movie the rage in placid lake in 2003.

[theghostwhoworks]

He went out with Clare Danes once too didn't he?

He's been around for quite a while - a great songwriter and great concerts live too.

[NoRascism]

This song is awesome...

And Tiffani is soooooo beautiful!!!!

[sEeYoUlAtEr5478]

This is my new favorite song

[qetuoas]

nope

[loiscotee15]

this song is awesome!

[poetrynutt88]

I grew up watching half the stuff they make fun of in this video, lol!

[heine71]

Who's Ben Lee??

[QBCNetwork]

Australian rock star.

[heine71]

No relation to BEN 10.

[loiscotee15]

he had a different song on a dell commercial a while back

[heine71]

He wasn't an Australian Idol winner, was he?

[loiscotee15]

no, not that i watch it but i'm pretty sure he's been around longer than that!

[cnorth1313]

i like this song its great

[AnniPink5]

It's a good song.

[JackxxSally]

wat is the commerical this song is on? its driving me nuts thinking about it

[QBCNetwork]

Discovered this on VH-1! This is something Weird Al would do as well.

Gotta like Ben's red guitar, cool!

[NerevarTheIncarnate]

same here! :D

[cnorth1313]

i like this song i heard it on the radio a few days ago =) thumbs up

[homieGgangsters]

[electraroxx]

i was on vaccation with my friend kassie and we fell asleep with VH1 on and i woke up at like 5:45 and i went 2 sleep at like 3 and this song was on im just like whoa wat is this and then i woke kassie up and we were making fun of this song and now i LOVE it!!

[aegergser]

i think he is missing those times when he was young i feel what he is trying to say. The problem is he can say goodbye to that television

because of the broadcast switch. good song and cop eating grapes lmao

[pomegrante445]

I like ralf

[BubbliBubbles4525]

[jakejeffsmom]

This is a hilarious video! Ben Lee is the best!!!!

[KlaerR]

excellent video for an excellent song, my friend! well done.

[ExitShikari]

Ben Folds IS awesome. This song, however, is not. Can't get into Ripe at all.

[back2bournio]

[rubaducky04]
