[bambi12099]

Ben played in a band with my uncle when they were like, 14 x) So proud!!!

[colbyraffthelegend]

MOUNTAIN JAM 2012!!!!!!

[jakegot86d]

sadly this is basically my life story if you change a few of the details. i.e.- chick-fil-a to papa johns.

[samharriswenttoparis]

@SuperZeldaBros64 Ben said he thought it sounded better than 'ben folds three' :D

[samharriswenttoparis]

@ThereIsNoSpoon0007 No there back now ben said they're recording a new album which should be released in spring

[interestingperson27]

I love this song so much because it reminds me of the praise band i sing in at church, and more importantly, it reminds me of Christian.

[1298129877]

@interestingperson27 Well since you find the need to announce that you are "interesting" in your name I assume you are pretty arrogant, seeing as though that isn't really something you can decide about yourself. Also stop going on about your dying cult and just accept that you have wasted your life on a book. Good luck coming back to reality.

[zikilovesgenesis]

I love the opening lines

[ITSrainingRAINA]

I like the random laugh toward the end of the song XD

[SuperZeldaBros64]

Why is the Ben Folds Five only have Three people in the band instead of five!??

[MrRedstonefreedom]

@SuperZeldaBros64 they be trollin the number system.

[RELOADEDEDER]

Ben may fold five but I fold six!

[Melaniciousness]

It's not auto-tuned. It's kept at clear tone without additional vibrato or echo effect they way almost everything is done anymore to enhance the voice of the singer. The vocal harmony is just that, vocal harmony. Kept in close, precise intervals

[Piercemxpx]

He's a judge on The Sing-Off.

[generalsam122]

chic-fil-a is the shit. dem waffle fries.

[btheking4]

Heard this today. I was not expecting that... Best Song EVER

[whalesNcows]

My favorite by Ben Folds Five. Love it.

[fugazi0311]

Oh, I see others have also commented on how it sounds slightly AutoTuned. I don't mind a little pitch correction, but I think they overdid it. I mean I'm just a casual music listener like most people, but the effect is pronounced enough for me to notice it.

[fugazi0311]

Folds' voice sounds just a little bit off somehow, sort of like a cassette tape that's been played too many times or maybe like his tone's been slightly corrected during production.

[chloroplastjeff]

I am going to the recruiter and making them an offer they can't refuse this morning.

[BravoSquirrel]

90's ruled.

[poopUCI]

this band blows asshole.

[MrLamppost34]

@poopUCI son, you're fucking high.

[leemoore99]

@poopUCI  Sounds like you know something about that

[sicitachi]

@Futurecop2012C shut the fuck up

[bigg10103]

alladultshere introduce me to this fuckin awesome song..

[texlonghorns112]

69,999 view!!!!



[superkobi321]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! =D

[MsMtnGrrl]

Tried to put it all behind me, but my redneck past is nipping at my heels.

[tiktoxtriangleman]

I hate that he uses autotune in this song. I noticed it a few months ago, and I can't listen to it the same way since. :(

[q0zi]

@tiktoxtriangleman Yeah, I don't see why he did it; none of the autotune bits are more than one second. Bothers me too.

[robbielandry]

@tiktoxtriangleman 'some producer with computers fixes all my shitty songs'

[tiktoxtriangleman]

@robbielandry These days...

[SirHatchporch]

@tiktoxtriangleman Autotune? Where?

[tiktoxtriangleman]

@SirHatchporch So I took **my old** man's advice"; if my memory sevres me correctly. I can't actually listen to the song at the moment, someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[ehendin]

This album is awesome... Musically and lyrically there was something about it... I used to listen to it obsessively.

[Cthulu54]

The distortion and sustain on the guitar at the end are cool.

[lolgurlyyy]

@mbasketcballb ???? no.......LOL

[Brettislame]

Been thinkin' a lot today.

[DREDD2001AD]

Just found this.

Really cool voice, was wondering if you would check my crap band out.

Try my Destroy Us video.

Thumbs Up on this, its great.

[rebelsbaseballizbom]

Love the song, but I honestly hate the recorded version. The live version is waaaaaaayyyyy better.

[ashkon52]

"Well I thought about the army

dad said son your fucking high

..so I took my old mans advice

three sad semesters

It was only 15 grand spent in bed

where I thought about the army"

--> I love his truth, wit and tongue in cheek humour. Brilliant lyrics

[DTMreviews]

"ah shit"

ftw!

[lolgurlyyy]

i like the random laugh at 2:50 after he says nipping at my heels

[germanbanger]

son, you're fuckin high!

[lolgurlyyy]

awwww shit....

[admr15]

aww shit......

[crzychk77]

i like the live version better where the audience sings the trumpet part

[derp103]

love this song

[TheAwesomepeople3]

BEN FOLDS HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!! <3

[stukosh]

awesome song!  Good morning!

[jcgamer107]

You can notice the slight autotuning in Ben's voice in this song :P. Such a great song, but might not even be the best song on this album - Narcolepsy, Redneck Past, Army, Lullabye, Don't Change Your Plans, Mess - all so great. Just speaks volumes about how freaking good BF5 is. This one probably rocks the hardest though :P

[TheBuffaloChips]

Hey my a cappella group recently performed this song at a national competition. Check it out!

[thegospelopinion]

merton? is that you?!

[kriss554]

i like the part where he gets all famous

[ooklathegreat]

ive been outta the loop have thes guys anything new i love them ?

[hpsnorlaxdirector]

They broke up more than ten years ago. I have all of their albums up.

[kchano]

@ooklathegreat

Ben Folds has put out lots of solo stuff, and a lot of it is good, but I think it doesn't quite have the same feel.

[apocwem]

Yep, but the basically just changed the name to "Ben Folds." He has 4 solo albums and the fith is coming out this year.

[hpsnorlaxdirector]

Yeah, I'm going to get around to putting those up soon. I've just been too lazy recently.

[ThereIsNoSpoon0007]

@hpsnorlaxdirector they got back together for "Best Imitation of Myself" quite an epic collection.

[ianmorsch]

@apocwem

so he never got a job at chik-fil-a?

[colbyraffthelegend]

@ooklathegreat they are in the studio currently making a new album

[leostiles]

Classic!

[laidback93]

So glad this version is unedited. This song and Radiohead's Creep are completely different songs when they are censored.

[Bobbo714]

My redneck past is biting at my heels...

[cocokate234]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daleksec100]

One of the best opening I've ever heard. This is like the only one of it on youtube that dosen't bleep it out.

[5LaxGoalie]

@Daleksec100 yeh, bleeping's better than the ones that open "son you must be high." also, at least it doesnt bleep high

[Sheldon66]

"Got a job a chic fillet", classic!!

[q12345q6789]

@Sheldon66

It's actually "got a job at Chik-Fil-A" (a Fast Food Chain in the South-East, USA)

[Sheldon66]

@q12345q6789 ....thanks for pointing that out! I know it's a fast food chain in the wonderful U S of A. Sorry, I didn't check out my spelling on that.

[Jakob2009]

@q12345q6789 Its actually "got a job at Chik-Fil-A" (a Fast Food Chain ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES)

[giselleb104]

@Jakob2009 chick fil a is not all over the united states, i thought..

[NFeraPro]

@giselleb104 its not your right i live in NY we dont have them

[mtb416]

If college was not necessary in this day and age I would've dropped out yesterday.

[the88thpianoman]

Always has been and always will be my favorite Ben Folds song.

[napalm5]

I love how he randomly swears in his songs

[drewh855]

torrets

[Ekofu]

@napalm5 That's the way it should be, easier to relate to the lyrics. Ben Folds keeps it real.
