[DJLilMilsey]

[SuperZeldaBros64]

KEYTARS ARE AWESOME

[nickhallamtv]

Haha. Classic "fuck you" Ben

[creepy46]

God when I look at Ben now... wow.

[SuperZeldaBros64]

[adamsmart13]

the bassist @ 4:35 - sounds fucking ace

[beardown2489]

@fsxzone i'm 63 and dont care

[DoctorMiracle]

Did we all hear the bassist fuck up at around 0:42?

[evsystem]

@DoctorMiracle Live performances don't always sound perfect

[JesusSanchezz]

@DoctorMiracle dont think so...

[ThespianGabby]

ben folds is so hot and young looking in this video

[neoshaolin1]

@ThespianGabby It's the hat and upright posture. lol

[SawFarCryNaruto65]

That FUUUUUCKKK WAS EPIC!

[neatborrito]

Doesn't even compare to Ben Folds Five..

[ikomplex]

@neatborrito

this.

[theoriginalshaun]

Can't believe it was only 5 years ago that Ben was still trying to pretend he was "down withe the kids" :D

[bairfanx]

@theoriginalshaun so, you do get that it was parody of the "angry white boy" music getting made at the time, right?

[theoriginalshaun]

@bairfanx so, you do get that I was joking, right? Thought it was a prerequisite of a Ben Folds fan to have a sense of humour? :)

[Hockey8mn]

I like him better when he plays the piano.

[itkapatanka]

is it just me but isn't Ben really hot?

[cameliabordes]

I'm glad they didn't blip any parts like they did on tv :D

[awesomefableable]

I think I might cry

[gumboy7777]

4:35 to the end is amazing!

[jcsand1]

That Cats tee shirt is priceless.

[IchBesserAlsDu]

I love him when he's pissed off. 

[DonPaulo1992]

its sounds like Good Charlotte.

[huskerdu1661]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[murloki11]

[murloki11]

@murloki11 btw i spelled it that way for a reason



[itzzXlizz01]

9 people have horrible taste in music.

[bringyourownslinky]

Wait, where's the video that he wears the "Virginia is for lovers" t-shirt in?

[leapoffaith20]

@mbasketcballb God bless the Australians.

[kevMAN20]

Rockin the Suburbs is one of the greatest albums of all time.

[Pedr6500]

Umm

Why does he have to rape pop culture

this has nothing to do with the suburbbs

[ScrotsMcBoogerballs]

@Pedr6500 Goddamnit, you're dumb.

[Pedr6500]

@ScrotsMcBoogerballs how

im right

this would be the city

where everyone lives in apartments

so they act like they are ghetto

I live in teh suburbs

so i would know

[ScrotsMcBoogerballs]

@Pedr6500 So anyone that lives in the city is automatically hood? Goddamnit, you are even more retarded than I thought.

[Pedr6500]

@ScrotsMcBoogerballs no

but the wanna bes think they are so yeah

Im just saying they dont live in the suburbs

[ScrotsMcBoogerballs]

@Pedr6500 I live in the suburbs. It sucks if you're a young white guy in your 20's. No one takes you seriously.

[morgi38]

[kevMAN20]

[morgi38]

[ShisNoLaCosaNostra]

His T-Shirt has "Cat" on it (:

[PatrickGDunn]

@ShisNoLaCosaNostra

Or it could have 'Cats' on it. Like the play/musical.

[pagan667]

[drumiceman]

[ViperousFox]

Anybody else love the way he says "Ben Folds" at the very beginning? It's like BEN FOWWLDS. with a face impossible to make with an expression. :P

[zakattak122]

its about rockin the suburbs

[dopebozoish]

this is priceless. and hilarious. Folds, you are a genius, sir.

[ninjachipzanuff]

[lockandload82]

[jhawksamw]

love when he goes all ratm

[nesketty]

I want a fucking keytar!

[KarsonAndCompany]

what a cool dork

[jrrjsajrrjsa]

I like Ben Folds Five a thousand times better than this, but Ben still rocks. I like his hat. Pity, since it's such an amazing song, that he had to full it full of crap. But I then again, I actually don't know what it's like being middle-age and white...so keep rockin, Ben!

[stmirren37]

the guitarist is retarded

[edgirallenjoe29]

Ben is a much better guitar player than that dumbass haha. That guy is god awful.

[jtmcrae1]

he looks so awkward out from behind the piano

[alexfanx]

Is this show Australian? I'm not very good with accents.

[EclecticStranger]

@alexfanx this show is indeed Australian, no longer on anymore though.

[ninjachipzanuff]

@alexfanx scottish i think

[Greapher]

@ninjachipzanuff

Scottish? I think not! Its aussie, or WAS aussie when it was on.

[DaKilla27]

0:02 FOOOLDS

[houseofcards33]

rexspe sucks. Is the multiple postings a shot at your weak intelligence? I love being an asshole.

[spirogrinder2]

good sonfwriter, worst voice... but makes it work somhow

[fillXinXblankXstares]

I love his little awkward hand on the hip move. He looks a little uncomfortable here, but he still sounds good.

[Leonimy]

I disagree, the bass sounds sick. The tone is nuts!

[virtualdudeAdam]

@Leonimy i second that!

[rexspe]

That bass player sucks. Is the red hat a shot at Fred Durst? I love Ben Folds.

[2krzybrthrz]

@rexspe no it says "Rove" on it and that is where this concert is being shot

[rexspe]

That bass player sucks. Is the red hat a shot at Fred Durst? I love Ben Folds.

[rexspe]

That bass player sucks. Is the red hat a shot at Fred Durst? I love Ben Folds.

[rexspe]

That bass player sucks.

[debsk86]

Rove and Belinda's first dance was to 'The luckiest'.

Beautiful song for a beautiful moment.

[starwarsbattlefront9]

Fuck this man. With the luckiest vs this one

[KHsonicdude23]

Christ, I had no idea Rove was THIS old. I thought he started around about 2003-2004.

[nightfox272]

this song was made in 01, not that long ago, lol.

[McSpitfire]

@nightfox272 9 years ago...

[Backflip901]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK

[virtualdudeAdam]

fucking hell i love that outro, and i love what the bass does at 4:35 just before it goes into the riff, sounds immense

[anikan2000]

hell yeah this music video fuckibng ass epic!!!!!!!

[007ToxicVenom]

Fred Durst would be proud, yo.

[dyll182]

ben folds is fucking awesome, also I think he is mocking popculture in america with this song maybe?

[Mbarnardexperience]

@dyll182 he's actually mocking nu-metal.

[NathanielCWhite]

Fucking Icredible. This gives me such a strong feeling of fuck-you-apathy. Love this man.

[2010profile]

I'm sure he would be more popular if he was a skinny white chick.

[dsghoul]

hahah, he looks like such a kid, having tons of fun

[xXemobenXx]

is this the song on over the hedge?

[dsghoul]

yeah but edited, obviously, haha. They're not gonna put "bitch," "shit," and "FUCK!!" in a kids movie lol

[musicisexpression23]

yeah and in doing that they made it suck lol

[rolfess69]

what is this instrument called he's playing??

[Gfromdastreet]

@rolfess69

Guitar

[rolfess69]

nah man I mean the thing that looks like a keyboard

[airsoftplayer8]

no hes playing the keytar it says so in the descripition

[sabbe250]

its a syntesizer

[2010profile]

@rolfess69 Melodica or keytar.

[gavbag1234]

Keytar.

[TheMrDobbins]

possibly the only person who can make a keytar look cool these days

[simonalyl]

"I'm rocking the suburbs just like Michael Jackson did,

Except that he was talented."

Right!

[finallyanunusedname2]

It's so hard being male, middle class, and white.

[myfavoritemelody]

The Keytar!!!!!! GO BEN FOLDS!

[finallyanunusedname2]

I love his CATS! shirt.

[Kiedis95]

You can tell how much smoother his voice was then as compared to the mypsace gig. That shit did rock , though.

[dsghoul]

its still ben folds, he can make anything fuckin rock

[Dakrocker]

ben looks so out of it, like bored

[21brooksy]

rove is looking a bit younger there

[AlexAmerling19]

Ben Folds is amazing XD

[Missdownunder1234]

I want a keytar!! hehe Xx

[nesketty]

same man it's my life goal

[andmcg1]

Wow. He looks so young. I think it's the cap and no glasses. Maybe some makeup? :D

[Jameroquai7]

Haha, I'm surprised they didn't censor this.

[brokedog2002]

a keytar

[6eeyore9]

I agree... what a scathing commentary on useless poiintless "african american culture"..... Bad music is bad music no matter how you look at it. I'm sure some people might like to disagree but that's fine, I'm not racist nor am I concerned about it

[ProtectthisHouse48]

Dude its not about african american culture its about poser white-boy culture

[stanleythedoggy]

@ProtectthisHouse48 OMG just enjoy the song and shutup

[yo43w]

i like the first part where he says listen to my new cd

[ctobias]

cats!

[cpd38]

A keytar....fuckyeah

[artdamage0]

its funny how ben looks so young but rove looks exactly the same

[idkaikooly]

talented loser song

[frogriver1987]

young..lol sorry i feel funny!lololol

[onlynewzealand]

great song but sucks live

[Danikah656]

that was cool

[megababe31395]

I love the cats shirt :P

That totally just made my day!

[ashla1121]

aww he's so young here!

[qwertydeluxe]

He looks so young! And so very, very white....

[TheHolyPlungers]

Isn't this song in the begining of Marley and Me? It's too bad they didn't use the original version in that too. :D

[figaroiscute]

When Marley jumps through the screen door, yeah!

[LolzMan1325]

it would be funny if they used this version in Over the Hedge

[EmilyTheStrangeSIC]

im love his red cap! reminds me of limp bizkit! omnomnom. ive been looking for the music video of this because its genious, but i cant find it :(

[etothemcg]

it's supposed to remind you of limp bizkit haha. =)

[cablejimmy]

I like how he's supposed to be parodying this kind of music, but ends up actually making one of the best rock songs ever!

[tamadrums621]

@cablejimmy in this case, all he ends up doing is falling victim to his own misplaced sense of irony. he's capable of so much better.

[hectorsatellite]

where can i find the one without the cussing

[guitarfishy529]

u is a fag

[kbeatles92]

guitarist cannot sing. he makes this song worse.

[magicmagicnosegoblin]

Cats

[tceis1]

LOL!

Ben looks liek a Fratt boy here.

[gla2005]

somehow reminds me of Tom DeLonge

[46747]

You're shit.

[GoatandCatandRam]

My mom says she doesn't know you. Are you sure you got the right person?

[torged19]

The guitar player looks stuped and eats dragon boogys. He's a voldemor's nipple!!

[DinosaurPajamas]

haha voldemorts nipple! Your mothers a ************

[5oranges5]

ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

[maddyz95]

ben foldsssssssssss <33

[KenyanSuperBaby]

YES! the keytar.

[tichondius]

a red baseball cap worn backwards, how cliche

[GoatandCatandRam]

Well. That's the point. I mean it's supposed to be a parody and a persona other than his own. I mean he's also wearing a shirt that says "Cats" which is hilariously stupid and inappropriate for a rock musician.

[eflkmlfk]

good songg:)

[kathyfiallos]

what a wierdo!!!!!a?

[brettbrettbrett87234]

god damn the guitar player is a douche.

[torged19]

you got that right!!

[torged19]

you got that right!!!

[AidanGraham27]

The fact that his shirt says Cats makes this video all the more awesome

[tikalal]

Yeah this song is a half joke. He doesn't normally play keytar and wear a silly hat :)

[tehditchdiver]

Wow, I've never seen anybody look so awkward with a keytar. I'm ashamed of him. =[

[Chezmat1]

He didn't look awkward at all. I thought he shredded it.

[bep003]

Ben is a bad ass, period.

[vikas]

Nice ending, though i prefer the one from Songs for Goldfish

[Ilopsen]

Amazing ending.

[machetemirage71]

story of my life right here

[rossrifle113]

What the fuck? This song is by Ben Folds???

Where have I been?? hahaha

[towerdefense]

lol

[oneslickjackrabbit]

that and the overblown, handheld electric piano just sent me rolling.

if nothing else, he's a master of self-parody. I wonder if he just does it because he's a genius and gets bored.

[AidanGraham27]

hahaha

his shirt says cats

hahaha

[laxguy888]

Keytar Hero!

[Ilopsen]

lol

[enanopower]

The keytar is the only thing that wins. YOU LOSE! GAME OVER! HAVE A NICE DAY!

[Sagensyg]

Some could say, in awkward situations, that I win.

[twdude22594]

hahaha did he say fuck on live tv?

thats so badass

you can say fuck on live tv here (Australia, of course) regardless. no one really cares. :)
