Ben Folds - The Way To Normal

[tewindavis]

I actually would've bought the fake album more readily than the studio album because it's just so much more... ben folds five-ish.

[FBSnow]

Show me the way to Aaaamarillo

[winggoddess]

i like the lyrics, but "show me the way to normal" or "this is the way to normal" doesn't really make sense with the rest of it. unless his point is that being normal is being a hypocrite. i guess that's true.

[vargaha]

@winggoddess normal is a city in illinois

[guidofix]

♥ amo bne foolds!!!!!!!!!!!1

[workdatupdo007]

you know in forgetting sarah marshall how the guy has a vampire musical?

ben folds could pull that off soooooo well

[popcornlover100]

hahhahahahaha this is pretty awesome. ben folds never ceases to amuse people.

[fillXinXblankXstares]

A Ben Folds musical would probably be the best thing ever. I'd force my school to do it! But we'd have to address the profanity xD

[mtb416]

uh yeah, a song cannot be 'fake", it can be a joke or satirical, but not fake

[taterii]

wats fake? i dont get why u guys are calling this fake.

[shauhindavari]

this song isn't on the actual album. It was released to fuck up those trying to rip the album early. It was made in a day by ben and his band. They wrote the lyrics as quickly as possible. Kinda shows how talented he is.

[HayziFromOz]

@shauhindavari You should see his chatroulette improv. I am constantly amazed by his ability to make up a fully structured song on the spot.

[unmemorableusername]

Sweet, I've been trying to find his fakes. :D Thanks for posting it. Haha

[finallyanunusedname2]

I love how people thought that it was serious. The falsettoat 1:19 is pretty funny.

[stormincrum]

the beginning is like a power rangers movie or a really bad commercial.. haha

[jauby143]

i would admit...IT'S A PRETTY GOOD FAKE!!!

I love it!!!

[RicoRicardo]

This is one of the 'fake' songs they leaked before the real album

[qwertydeluxe]

These lyrics are so funny! I love the overdramatic "this is the way to normal! show me the way to normal!" harmonies.

[turtlechib11]

dude, its called "Way to Normal" not "THE Way to Normal"

[MacintoshKing]

Lmaoo!.

People like you mak me laugh

I mean

"thanks for uploading the song"

[turtlechib11]

haha true, this was the only one on youtube I could find.....so I should be more thankful

[vysehrad]

Chuckle.

[j0hnthefisherman]

id like to stab this guy... and his music is extremly bullshit

[mmolay]

then why would you take the time to listen to his songs?

[malloryisme]

this is fake. =]

[HugeInJapan]

Can you tell because of the pixels?

[RedrumSunglasses]

I love the album but tbh im not too keen on this song. I like the 'long way to go' bit and i think it has a good message but the start sounds as if it should belong in a bad kung fu movie..

[BenEzraSoundProject]

This song was a joke. It was part of the fake album he leaked on purpose. He said he could barely keep from laughing at the lyrics.

[RedrumSunglasses]

Oh thank god >;D

i was like.. its okay.. i guess ;\.

thats for the info :P

[RedrumSunglasses]

omg i just listened to the song again. ;\ how could i NOT realize that was a joke? omg.. hahaha that funny. he got me :P

[imtabomb]

is the song you dont know me on it please reply

[gojo345]

yes.

[TheOnlySDF]

This song isn't yelling at bush, lol, it's saying that it's harder than it looks, quite the opposite. :D

[rachel24442]

well i think ur mean and hes amazing no matter what so dont even go there seef0

[willthemagician]

I don't really like the beginning but I think the 'long way to go' part should be part of a larger song.

[Claymation345]

Ben Folds is awesome. Even in his fake leaked album he has created some pretty great pieces of music. I like Ben's new style in the new album. It's catchy,written well, and still has Ben's great sense of humor.

[gumborific]

It sounds like The Beatles meets Broadway. I like everything he does...he can't go wrong in my book.

[droznisu]

If there is a God, he hates us and our football team

[tweezas]

Ben Needs to write a musical

[ShaiTan931]

Amen to that!  I would watch it every day.

[bucjason]

lol....the fake stuff is fun !!

[kevMAN20]

I love Ben's sense of humor! look up "way to normal" on the rolling stone website. It's actually some cool info from an interview with Ben in which he talks about the fake music.

[ShakehandShake33]

I kinda like this...people that don't like it need to lighten up...I mean Ben Folds sometimes is funny I don't think this is a news flash even he released this on the album I'd love it...in fact I hope you can get it somewhere besides this type of thing

[dcjew182]

it sounds like jesus christ superstar crap

[filmbooks]

I think it would be boring if we got there. Long live Scrunch!

[Sepharite]

Worst song ever. I'm so glad it isn't real.

[samtung]

Haha, the fake stuff is awesome.

[RevengeofToaster]

Please release a Way to Normal EP!

Add "We Praise Thy Name!"

[ColdandComposed]

Yeah, he's confirmed that these were all fake. Good laughs though.

[evilrobotted]

i think it's better than the dreck from the last album

[sarahmitp]

but I do like it though ;)

[tekjansenV2]

its fake

he released 6 fake songs as a joke

[ummmthing]

Ummm...I don't think this song is what will be on the forthcoming cd.
