[senoralee]

[cahr412]

this isn't the real video but i like this better cuz of the monkey

[richgilb]

2:39 = The Best.

[rftgf08]

Just watched this with my 2 year old. Here's his description of the last scene: "Diaper-monkey go (to) his mama's house. See mama-monkey. Diaper-monkey and mama-monkey dancing in (the) house".

Yes, son. That's what he's doing. He's dancing with his mama. :D

[MrRare442]

As perfect a song as you will ever hear. That coming from a metal, hard rock and punk fan!

[zkxv]

Someone with the username Falcon uploads a video called Landed. Makes sense to me.

[SICKSxNINE]

Come pick me up, I've landed.

[josieradomski81]

[ItsUnderstandableful]

Ben Folds should be more famous than he already is.

[12345l6789]

OOO CHIMPANZEE THAT!

[nowandforever117]

This intro is one of greatest riffs i've ever heard.

[surfangryseas]

Worth living the dream, if you get an ape....

[pablineek]

[schoontube]

This video is comic genius.

[mrjimmyos]

[kevchod]

The best Elton John song Elton never wrote. Great song.

[jjballer03]

thegreatarloman - check out brick, emaline, the battle of who could care less, gracie, password, and ummm...lots of his other stuff lol

[TheGreatArloMan]

I think this is his only good song...

[sabbathmcfreely]

@FarSightOfTheMoon you know it!

[evelinlusby84]

GORGEOUS ¡¡¡ just downloaded the full album from downloadmusic.im

[DJStevieSteve]

It's not a monkey, it's an ape.

[AngieJo18]

ben folds is defently the chatroulette guy!

[Kullg4r]

Ooh chimpanzee that!

[JonnyFeltonMusic]

HE HAS A MONKEY!!!

[TheBalletchick]

i love thiss song it was one of my best friends brothers favorite. he died last september. it always reminds me of him. RIP ryan<3

[linkrocker1]

Not counting the acappellas, this is the best song by him.

0:01-4:02 is the best.

[alf7645]

loving daaa beeeetttttssss

[die203]

this song reminds me of /sounds similar to Fire & Rain by james taylor the begging part anyway.FYi i'm not saying he stole it just saying it sounds like it a bit. great song by ben here!

[GarthAlgar567]

i prettty sure this video is about a monkey who has ben make a song for him so he can get liad...genius

[HeWh0Thrashes]

 so come pick me up... I've landed.

[lilleo1968]

I saw him live a few days ago. Brilliant musician.

[adamstokke]

I've loved Ben Folds Five and his singular, solo self for a long time. This is resounding and the orangutan basically seals the deal, so to speak! Amen, Ben.

[WellBalancedGuy]

He's better than Elton, because he writes his own music and lyrics. Eltons a great performer, but he's singing Bernie Taupins tunes and lyrics. Lets get behind Ben and attend all the shows we can, and let him know the difference his music makes in our lives. Love to you all.

[gan1455]

@WellBalancedGuy Bernie taupin doesnt write music he only writes lyrics, thats the reason the record label put them together, because Elton cant write lyrics

[mpizzuto15]

Plays like Billy Joel

[FarSightOfTheMoon]

@mpizzuto15 No. If Jesus played piano, this is how it would sound.

[gelchert]

Ben Folds is such a nice guy. To get up in the middle of the night just to go to the studio to record a tape for an orangutan.

[azurebass24]

@gelchert I just made this comment my status and quoted you as gelchert. kudos on best youtube comment i've seen in a while :D

[gelchert]

@azurebass24 Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Thanks a lot!

[loungecruz]

awesome

[7ali7]

Get a lobe of this court case.

[iamthemovieHGB]

geeky ? man , this guy could get any girl he wants..

[awesomeatitsfinest]

@iamthemovieHGB i would definitely have his illegitimate children. Just saying.

[bluberrypenguin]

i love the orangutan (:

[lemon2992]

he makes the piano part look so easy

[rafiramoon]

2:13 Air Guitar Lol

[italianballs]

11 people have had their ears cut off it seems

[gRaCi3La89]

if only i could play piano like him...soooo nice!

[daliarinc]

one of the best songs of this decad! BEN !

[googoplexable]

pa pa pa pa paaaa iv landed

[sailorkill]

its so funny when the monkey grabs shatner

[sailorkill]

i never knew that was shatner. man that guy can do anything.

[xbrinx]

what an adorable monkey...orangutan?

[Radiohead54321]

Am I the only one who, after having watched this video at least a hundred times, just realized that the guy on the mixing board is William Shatner?

[chumshot1]

@Radiohead54321 LOLZ no ur not!

[ctrlaltdlt01]

my favorite ben folds song.

[AdrianV71]

Why compare him to Elton John? Ben Folds is Ben Folds, a creative genious on his own.

[bestevez1]

What is "rage" ? I saw that logo also appear in the music video for This Year by The Mountain Goats.

[uruk245]

@bestevez1 rage is an Aussie music video show.

[videodude4]

@bestevez1 I think its a "series" of classic music videos. Done on many other videos I notice.

[Crazynessful]

I want to marry this man. Greatest musician in the history of this world. All his songs... gorgeous and passionate! Why can't their be more people like him?!?!?

[mekyle13]

Lovin the ending. Monkey sex scenes always make for happy endings.

[jesterline]

I love his "rock stance" when he plays standing up. Best. Live. Performer. Ever.

[bennytheboy101]

"Jellyfish are 97% water just add another 3% n make em water" Karl Pilkington

[MrJimPercy]

One of the greatest musicians to have walked our earth

[TaylorTayMusic]

This is one of my favourite videos of all time, which is interesting considering it's not a very well known one. It's a very sweet little story.

[LdZful]

Dude just needs to take my heart out and stomp on it already. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Will never get tired of his voice.

[danielportermusic]

57 on vocals?! that's awesome.

[phildea]

simply fantastic

[jquigley92]

Ron Jeremy at 4:01 lol

[REAL72769]

This guy is a wonderful arranger; but he is not on the same level as Elton John. Elton has had many amazing songs; had a way better voice when he was Ben's age; and a more creative and technical piano player.

[luancoelho]

I dont actually like Elton John so much, but well... I have to admit there is a kind of influence here... btw, I LOVE THE RESULTS! this song for example is simply AMAZING!!!

[ctune1]

Is that Cheech Marin on the audio board?

[vveq]

Beautiful song. Forget about digital recording --- whip out the 24 track machine and lay it down on that 2 inch wide analog tape. 30 ips of course !

[ShayneMaglay]

is this the guy from chat roulette improv?

[Xypsilonz]

@ShayneMaglay yeah :p

[rachel24442]

@ShayneMaglay hes not merton but he does stuff at his shows like him bc everyone kept saying it was ben

[AK74inCali]

This song *SO* speaks to me right now. Except I get to replace the SHE with HE.

Moving back soon, I guess. :-)

[sorukai]

He's singin' about his monkey? Haha, what a trip.

[ericbrian1975]

Ha monkey sex is always funny!

[bikelane]

Dig Shatner on the mixing board

[iisgonnasmackurface]

i hate that fucking monkey. i want to eat it.

[f150eagle]

This used to be United Airlines theme song a few years back. Great Song!

[flyofdamosquito]

This is the second time I hear a Ben Folds´s song, the first one was Cologne 5 minutes ago, and in both cases I had the very same reaction: WOOOOW I Was missing such a great composer.... <3 Lovely music!

[TimOaks]

Monkey!

[hazelnut299]

Ben. Folds. Is. My. Favorite. Pianist. Be jelous.(:

[iloverendering]

Haha, pianist envy.

[andrewtaguey]

hahahahahah YourMumsBottum is a hilarious name

[ChicoCabra]

Is nobody going to mention the Say Anything reference?

[taterii]

how does one get such talent?!?! this is amazing....

[WeAreTheChampz215]

i dont see many comments on the monkey. THAT MONKEY IS THE SHITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! i want to buy one. ben folds is my favorite pianist.

[fishlip3]

I love this song.

Awesome piano :-)

[ZeOshua]

in school we got a ipod and we here this song its awsome

[taybyers]

Way to go! You've expressed an opinion!

[YourMumsBottom]

Great song and love the videa but where's Shatner's bassoon?!

[xvaughanx]

haha cake

[Defn28]

He does not suit the long hair and glasses mind

[JROCK5323]

ina wa y i guees i w

a's 4sho############

[jessicalba7]

I'm sure Karl Pilkington would love this video!!

[odtftf4]

This generations Elton John..great voice and storytelling ablity, makes you feel the music not just hear it..great artiist..

[SuperNevile]

@odtftf4 Seconded ~ this guy is brilliant, seemed to come from nowhere like E.J. He's not a EJ impersonator tho' (just looks like early EJ) ~ he's got his own unique style. Must be his home studio in Nashville.

[jimmiw]

@odtftf4 i think bens a better pianist which makes it even better

[niksarmy2]

nope im sorry hes a cool guy not geeky at all

[spa9876]

@niksarmy2 I disagree, he's definitely geeky. He just makes geeky sexy

[rebelsbaseballizbom]

@niksarmy2 dude, hes hella geeky, that brings his awesome level to OVER 9000!!!!!!!!

[dajinsta]

@niksarmy2 You're wrong, actually, he's TOTALLY geeky. But what you did not mention is that geeky IS AWESOME and cool. We're in the generation of geeks. You know that when the military has been taken over by them.

[adamstokke]

@dajinsta Actually, it was long ago. What you see as the frontmen for the military are just that -- take a look a the black ops and such to see where the 'geeks' have gone :)

[sabbathmcfreely]

@niksarmy2 nope. he is a geeky guy. but, honey, hgere you have made a rather large mistake. geeky= mde of awesome. not the other way around.

[FarSightOfTheMoon]

@sabbathmcfreely Nerdfighter?  :)

[Gondorian9]

@FarSightOfTheMoon DFTBA.

[FarSightOfTheMoon]

@Gondorian9 Made me think of not forgetting things, which made me think about not thinking about things, which made me realize that I lost the game. You brought this upon yourself. :)

[Gondorian9]

@FarSightOfTheMoon Darn you! ;)

[frizzyfunyohoe]

i love this song!

i also like the a capella version :)

i just love ben folds!

[IceQueenHeiress2012]

we're doing a routine to this song in my winter guard!

[tichyha]

amazing song and hilarious video

[niksarmy2]

hes not a geeky looking guy ok? hes cool and a great artist

[jcgamer107]

He's both!

[sputnikowns]

Weird that I hear a Steven Page vibe on his voice.

[StacieLassila57]

I love this song and love him. I love that William Shatner is in this too. :)

[TheHuiGao]

he's the guy on the soundboard, he's wearing a wig and mustache and stuff

[jack69ist]

Oh yeh! No wonder i didnt recognise him.Good disguise dude

[westcardiffian]

beautifull song,great vid.happy days.

[jay11yenn]

i like the way he play the piano amazing...

[BlackedOutBoy]

The added strings at the bridge, the Orangutan, and the William Shatner cameo make this the best/most epic, version of the song/video. YES!

[roachdady]

just found out what it was all about... Man Ben Folds landed me on this song...Absolutely sweet...congrats Ben!!!

[newyorkyanks22]

im in to metal and old school rap,but ben folds is THE shit

[blahblahRocketDog]

MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!

[jizzy00jarsh]

hahaha, the ending is my 2nd favorite thing in the world! :D

[carisma1972]

Which one of both is Ben?

[rachel24442]

hes soooo presh

[mollieisalovelyname]

I love how passionate he looks when he plays piano :) it makes this song lovely

[FuzzyPingu]

I love this video of the song. When Landed had been first released on the internet, this was the video used and I watched it at least once every day before going to school. I loved it! Monkey <3

[tikalal]

What type/brand/model of glasses is he wearing? I swear I'm on a year-long quest to find out at the moment!

[xmoggiex]

what age is he? xx

love this song xx

[austin99203]

Isn't the band called Ben Folds Five?

[soziflip]

ben folds five broke up in 2000... ben folds started to do solo albums ;)

[FuzzyPingu]

He was previously in a band called Ben Folds Five, however, this song is from a solo album, Songs for Silverman. I believe the band is broken up by now.

[VanGoghsEar1890]

A fantastic break-up song.

[SophieFuzzy]

This song is out of this world, its perfect <3

[1983youknowsit]

Chimpanzee That!!!!! (I know its not a chimp)

[CraniumDrainum]

Although I like this song, the version without the strings is much better! The strings cover up too much of the piano and backing vocals. However, I like this video tho. Anything with Shatner and a orangutan involved is GOLD!

[panickingATtheD1SC0]

My best friend from Tennessee babysits his kids! They're so cute!

[catchthatrain]

anyone know who directed this video?

[ElectricSexPants]

Karl Pilkington.

[knoxIII]

This song should have won an award IMO

[fighterinferno1]

sorry if i sound like an idiot but whats an IMO?

[PorcelainAlligator]

imo = in my opinion

[fighterinferno1]

oh.... i feel like a dumbass.....anyways Ben Folds is a freakin genius.

[hicksfanbillhicks01]

in my opinion

[SpontaneityHappens]

2:12, the monkey is doing the air guitar. O. My. God. I officially love Ben Folds.

[ThurstAsh13]

I really want to learn how to play this on piano

[mrkemrk]

Ben Folds, William Shatner, and a monkey.  Perfection.

[blipdriver]

Have you seen the stuff BF and WS did? Fantastic. I bought it thinking it would be kitsch and ironic but it turns out to be the best CD in my collection!

[mrkemrk]

You mean 'Fear of Pop'? Hell, yes, it's great. I thought it would be typical Folds cheese myself, turned out Shatner has amazing delivery, a true stylist. : )

[FLPman]

WS does a great song with Henry Rollins too

[gunjohkei]

My favorite song by him. ♥

[zackpliskin]

From some angles Ben looks like Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords. I prefer Ben though... what a fine songwriter!

[foldsisgod]

Love the string accompaniment! :D

Ben Folds is God!

[godgie77]

Great song!!!

You often find that the best stuff isn't always the most listened to which for me makes it an even better find :-)

[zerocks88]

whats with the low views lol.

I'd of thought everyone in the entire youtubeworld would have searched this one already!

Freaking love this song.

[Spenca101]

I guess a lot of people in the entire youtubeworld aren't into amazing music like this :(

Brillant song! :D

[steponyouagain]

Best song ever written.

[knoxIII]

this is one of his, if not his, best songs ever!!

[BlackedOutBoy]

Oh SHIT that is Shatner lol!

[BlackedOutBoy]

2:44

[miray6972]

it's elton john.... only younger and not gay lol!

love them both.

i've landed...

[KenzyxFrenzy]

there should be an orangutan and william shatner in EVERY music video :) ah-mazin!

[cruise250678]

Such a great song!

[fleabassmasta101]

The strings in this song are SICK!!!!

[SimLees]

the end is sick but hilarious nonetheless.
