The Best Show on WFMU - Take a Chance on Me

[drcheesemeat]

I like the way everyone is going spa at Ben and how bad it is etc,it's a record for charity,just let it be fun which it is!

[memnoker]

And he thinks Al Green sounds moldy? Ugh.

[saturdayskids]

He also started the BABA BA BA BA part at the wrong time, further fucking everything up. What a goddamn fat loser.

[saturdayskids]

That Tom Scharpling idiot ruined the whole fucking thing

[holtaprid]

Oh, if only you knew the glory that is Tom...

[saturdayskids]

Like I need to know a shitty MoRnInG ZOoOooOooO host. Give me a break, he's a fucking lame idiot who felt like he needed to interrupt and sing in the song to boost his ego- just to be beside someone great like Leo, Oswalt and that random guy who is also talented.

[holtaprid]

1) You strike me as very obnoxious, what with the profanity and all. I don't enjoy you.

2) Ben Gibbard isn't talented.

3) He didn't interrupt, he was probably going to sing that part to begin with.

4) It's WFMU

[Ogilvie14]

agreed, although Ben Gibbard is talented.

[holtaprid]

Maybe so, maybe I'm just still disappointed with Narrow Stairs. I love Ted, though.

[Ogilvie14]

I like Narrow Stairs.

Although it's nothing compared to Transatlanticism.

[Kkibou]

Did Ben sing nothing but "take a chance" from beginning to the end...

well that's lovely

[holtaprid]

Go Tom!

[twistedimagev2]

OMG LET BEN SING

[gstampgirl]

I love this video- I watch it over and over again, and have shown my friends. They pretend to be impressed, which makes me happy.

This video is timeless. :)

[DorvidBarnas]

Put this one in the time vault.

One of the greatest things ever.

[Soapking1965]

Where's SPIKE????

[vb7000]

Right here!

[darkx602]

I think Tom has nervous hands. He's always touching his shirt and stuff. Come on Tom, are you Monk?

[CBondraJr]

Wtf Tom Scharpling. Stop shouting.

They should've let Ben sing that part. :/

[thankuveramuch]

no they shouldn't have. Tom is always right and does no wrong. don't you listen to the Best Show?

[pggyyr]

Tom could've at least used his voice modulator.

[carlybonzai]

um they should have. ben's voice is way better.

[Kibblesmith]

OMIGOSH.

[therottingstrip]

BEST SHOW FOR LIFE SON!!!

[nightclubdwight]

THAT...

is some true shit.

First intelligent YouTube comment? I think so!

[nightclubdwight]

And I am responding to tex, not the dis to Teddy Rockstar. That may not be immediately apparent because I do not know how to work internets.

[JoanNutmeg]

Why is that other guy even singing?

[vb7000]

what? who?

[JoanNutmeg]

I guess it's the Tom guy? I don't know who he is. I wanted Ben to sing :(

[battlehappy]

Yeah, obviously this is all about personal preference, but I am seriously, seriously, seriously bored with dude rock. I can think of ten nondescript bar bands that sound exactly like Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. If that is your preference then good for you. Go to it. It's impossible to argue taste, but I've heard this sound a kerbillion times and it's about as lively as the bags on Keith Richard's face.

[battlehappy]

Having to listen to Ted Leo sing is a steep price to pay for getting to look at Ben Gibbard's pretty face. Know what I mean?

[scottyyz]

Having to see Ben's face is a steep price to hear Ted sing.

[putitinyourshoe]

oh hell yes.

[watkinscopicat]

ya can't beat the best show!
