[samharriswenttoparis]

This probaly costed dollar to make... still awesome, good songs don't need fancy videos :) x

[tayyyy94]

my name is not kate.

[Katieandthedimonds]

My name is kate also and i was born in 1997! Maybe my parents named be because of the song.......

[RoboticPrawn]

@Katieandthedimonds

Or maybe they never really wanted you....

[PatrickAureus]

"Hey guys! What shall we do for our next video?"

"Uh, do we have any cool sets we can use?"

"...no."

"Okay. Can any of us act?"

"...no."

"What skills do we actually have here, apart from music?"

*awkward raising of hand*

"I'm pretty good at...pretending to be asleep."

"..."

"...Alright, got it. Top off boys, we're about to make ART!"

[eternalz15]

Best video ever.

[halfhumanhalfzombie]

First time seeing this video and its gorgeous.

[reven212]

Check out the one on the right! Someone is a snuggly sleeper! lol Great song!

[smoogirl]

The guys should have started doing stuff ;) xD

[TheFlossyMachine]

8 people are called Katie, unlike me i'm called kate!

[Akanechan13Kagome]

ben folds 

[Umbramancer]

OMG! I was laughing all the way through this music video! Whoever directed it deserves an award :D

[GranulatedStuff]

mind boggling song quality to video budget ratio. Unless it was amazingly well edited it looked like one take.

[GranulatedStuff]

@GranulatedStuff

I should mention I dont dislike the video

[DoctorMiracle]

That bar of 9-8 in the intro always throws me.

[tauria]

wish 3 guys would lay in bed singing about me :D

[jonthaitai]

Fuck people. Get a grip on sexuality.

[bradeism]

This clip is absolutely glorious. And totally not what you'd expect after listening to the song for years and never seeing the clip.

[PerfectSkySerenity]

I smile and its a rainbow :)

[iamthesoof]

heheh i have a frien that named kate and shes happy theres a song justfor her and have shirtless men siging it for her heheh

[faintingeagle]

[faraoseth]

[faintingeagle]

@faraoseth Im just sayin'!

[mcdljen]

I'll be Kate for the guy on the left!

[1122avery1]

[skaters05]

[cuzcowy]

zajebiste



[sparsematrix]

Funny. As. Crap.

[ib12jo]

@sparsematrix haha crap is funny

[thexskating]

i just realized its not gay lol its just supposed to be funny lol i love this song

[mysterybananatree123]

I really like this video, but I feel a little uncomfortable with Eminem staring intensely at me.

[TheFistness]

Guess who has two thumbs and wants to be in that bed? THIS GIRL

[mysterybananatree123]

I'm so happy!

[thexskating]

lol this was kind of gay lol but a great song

[MyCoolRedShoes]

....i dont understand this video... please help

[jacknicklaus99]

she wears the same thing everyday, i think she smokes pot,

wow that would be everything i want

[palookaland]

or the longest time, whenever I saw that symbol; this thing: "<3".... It just looked like balls to me. Seriously. I thought that people were stating "balls" randomly at the end of comments. I had no idea why. I was also trying to grasp the connotation. For instance, "This is 'balls.'" Meaning "This is great!" Or "balls." Meaning, "This is really crummy." I am not sure what is more homo-erotically revealing. The simple fact about me seeing balls where there just are not or this video.

[ladyoftoomanywords]

@palookaland I think that is one of the funniest things I have ever read in my life.

ever.

[RedGhost0]

@ladyoftoomanywords I second that.

[xXkatewasherexX]

my name is kate...:)

[mysticlynx]

The guy in the middle looks like he makes a great pillow.

[BoBtheparrot7]

@mysticlynx  THAT WOULD BE BEN FOLDS THERE COPERNICUS

[savvysav425]

@mysticlynx "The guy in the middle" is Ben Folds...of COURSE he would make a great pillow.

[robbyunruh]

OMG MY NAME'S KATE <3.

Shut the fuck up.

[silvertoungue420]

i like a gurl named kate

[illusions142]

This is totally like me and my friends... fucking adorable.

[MilagroFashion]

All the other wonderful Kates out there who searched their name in youtube and got this awesome song thumbs up :) so my new favorite tune forever!

[MsAlainn]

My name's Kate! I love that guys are cuddling together yelling my name. ;D

[FamousOrange]

[EPICbenfolds]

[urbanr0cker]

This is my first time seeing this and I absolutely cannot stop laughing. That was 3:15 minutes of my life well spent. Fabulous!

[earlthekitty]

[millionsdead420]

[retroradwhoaa]

[dnsecrets]

Interestinqq [:

[keishabob1]

what the

[Kaichita]

yum. 

[juliantoms]

I've never seen this and I think this is FUNNY AS HELL!! Love it!!

[Snarkymom]

How utterly ridiculous! I can't stop laughing.  I love how the drummer wipes his drool. They're all obviously dreaming about the same girl.

[mimickick]

What a joyful noise they make.

[lazykat88]

my name is kate and because of this song i tattooed daisies on my foot so they will always be in my footsteps

[KATEMCGOWANYAY]

@lazykat88 That is a good idea. I may have to do that.

[apokryltaros]

@lazykat88 Butterflies?

[itfahkenichz]

@lazykat88 that is absolutely lovely.....

[Katieandthedimonds]

@lazykat88 oh I love this! my name is Kate too!

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Jessee's really getting into it. I love these fellows so very much.

[Fishingpoleprod]

My absolute favorite music video of all time. -Travis

[stringztoo]

One of these days I'm going to get off my F'ing ass and finish my video clips from Lost to this song... I've been at it for 2 years, I mean, damn... the show's over... grr

[dvkillz1]

@stringztoo i doubt anyone wants to see that anyway.. you probably just shouldn't bother. why don't you do something productive with your time, or at least something thats not utterly fucking lame lol. Get a girlfriend or go volunteer at a homeless shelter or something lol.

[LittleLucrecia]

As a Kate myself, i can assure you all Kates are this nice. Every one.

[kidcloneinteractive]

extremely comical. exactly what i expect from ben folds five.

[adag63]

Yep,,,They are making money laying in bed,,,,,,,,But you are not ..JELOUSE?

[GudToast]

@adag63

>JELOUSE?

>JELOUSE?

>JELOUSE?

[Autoxdriver]

There is no corner of Rosemary and Cameron...

[hannahjulia364]

I think this may be the best music video of all time!

[12796addison]

Kind of Creepy(: But cute ;D

[robotchickens4rmdell]

i wonder how many of you guys on this page have woken up in this same situation after drinking to much?

[gumborific]

@robotchickens4rmdell you have to drink too much???

[yellowdello]

oh my god. the guy on the right at 2:26 is my favorite! LOL

[SchmuckoftheIrish]

@mrchrmedone Dear Jesus. Although I find your comment ridiculous, disgusting, and utterly disturbing as you hate homosexuals, you are entitled to your opinion, but please portray it in a somewhat readable matter! Regardless if we share the same opinion, your type ethic makes you come across as both uneducated and lazy.

So next time, before you try to lash out on someone for being different than yourself, try using proper English. And come up with something better than "Eat shit and die."

[KateBorges]

I wanna meet her so that

I can say...hey Kate

Response- Hey lol

[pippacummings]

You homophobes are silly. This is comedy and talent. Get a grip.

[Jackal0321]

1:20 I have nothing against gay people or this video but the guy on the left's mouth gets a little to close to Ben's nipple for my comfort

[mrchrmedone]

u fuckin' fags!!! lol

[majorrockstar7]

@mrchrmedone your the fag! It is a joke you cum eating asshole

[Chaos9122]

FAGS

[manifestdestiny17]

that looks like gerard way on the right

[fillXinXblankXstares]

This makes me smile.

[iMattFriend]

I am not seeing one comment that says "Wow. This is so gay."

[Ineedwords1121]

@iMattFriend Cuzz people don't love Jesus anymore... damn hippies

[2010profile]

What is with these poor-grade commercial songs as a 'related' suggestion?

[batlewitch]

ooh, what the hell was he drinking. it looked nasty

[nealmyq]

hahaha. Ben Folds Five, what a great band. It has little to nothing to do with the lyrics but who the hell cares?

[ehample]

hm i dont think i have anything to say other than i would like to be in that very bed with them

[maryellenvdvd]

i am the owner of this accounts friend. yeah, my name is kate. therefore- im pretty fucking amazing

[donnellyk]

kate i don't know you but I would say with a fairly high degree of confidence that you are really not that amazing. . .sorry

[ChuckyTheGoat]

@donnellyk Amazing enuf for Ben to marry her!

[MilagroFashion]

@donnellyk you've got to meet me to judge mr

[maryellenvdvd]

@donnellyk i am

[maryellenvdvd]

@donnellyk she is, and bc ur randomly putting someone down its pretty clear ur not... sorry

[fillXinXblankXstares]

This is possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. But I feel as though I've posted that exact same comment on about 10 other videos containing Ben Folds or Ben Folds Five. Odd... I see a pattern here...

[2010profile]

That is one ridiculously white bed.

[2010profile]

Yeah, the meaning to this song is definitely about being gay because they are hetero males singing about a woman named Kate. Sounds plausible to me.

[madisonksings]

when they actually did this video they were just messing around and they were just doing this as a joke but they made it the actual video.

[wunderbratsche]

Ben. Miss ya man!

[2010profile]

Is it just me, or does everybody have a different view of everybody named Kate after listening to this song? This brings me to... somewhere amazing.

[nayzany]

Good song. Interesting video. lol

[RubenRotar]

@ DungeonSF

youre an idiot

[DungeonSF]

what about closet queers with a wife and children? is that ok too?

{ok ok just don't let the Mrs find out!}

[DungeonSF]

in other words.... n i c e

[PteradactylKat]

Oh, good, you've cracked the code!!

Come off it, people.

[VloggingMolly]

adorable!!

[trubanco]

One continuous shot. I wonder how many takes it required.

[skank2dis1]

HAHAHHAHA! This song is Awsome! They must be a really, really, really close band. I mean... Darren's mouth is a centimeter away from Ben's nipple... Hilarious!

[taterii]

a abstract vid, yet........ amazing.....

[jasinski7]

i wonder the point of the video is

[belau101]

The point:

Being gay is ok, lol.

[poopdude]

I love the piano in the songs.

[CamisadoJr]

I LOVE MY NAMEEEE!!!!!!!!! =)))

[jasinski7]

why is darren jesse wearing a shirt and the others arent i dont understand

[hillbilliemoonshine]

Are you putting a dress code on sleeping? Lol

[RoboTakoYon]

Am I alone in finding this video utterly adorable?

[pippajeanette]

No. This is... superb.

[kdscher]

@RoboTakoYon yea hate to break it to you, but you are alone in that.

[mysterybananatree123]

@RoboTakoYon You are not alone my friend!

[mtb416]

Vevo annoys me.....

[popcornlover100]

haha this is the most awkward video of all time. especially with the guy on the left who keeps touching the guy on the right. haha it cracks me up soo much. but ben folds is amazing, so he can do anything.

[AnalogSummer]

@popcornlover100 The guy on the left is Darren Jessee (drums) and the guy on the right is Robert Sledge (bass). Ben Folds was not the only member of this band...

[adeerinheadlights]

My heart did a crazy flippy thing when I saw this in the sidebar :D Kate's my name!

[miamonrobot]

it's "kate" its all about me.

[sweetbee008]

i always wondered is this song based on a real person?

[Velocilover]

lol i thought this was fanmade at first. classy stuff :D

[sizzlin25]

Love It!!!! Think of Every TIME I see KATE on a People Mag at the grocery store!!! ESP with her new hair1 :) KATE!!!

[offhostproductions]

why are they ... being gay... like homosexuals..... are they homos? 2:49....

[offhostproductions]

well said

[MrMicraphone]

@PteradactylKat and petend to like the other gender ! wierd ! I doont feel so bad about my CR vids now .. lol

[finallyanunusedname2]

Vevo is making it look like they are bad lipsynchers.

[savagela]

are they shouting kate or gay? y

[finallyanunusedname2]

Kate; the song is called Kate.

[jasinski7]

this vid does certanily raise that question

[yourswiththestars]

I missed the question.

[KuraiAngel]

They very well may have lip-synced for the video. Some artists do that. But, if so, it doesn't seem too bad of a job to me. Love this video even more than I love the song. =D It's very...them. lol

[jasinski7]

hes a terrible lip singer

[CatSistersProduction]

Dude, THAT'S BEN FOLDS OWN SONG! And he is NOT lipsyncing.

[skilledkid88]

i made my friend a mix of songs that had the name kate or katie in them, i loved this one most!

[smvideoman]

great song the video and audio are off...

Still an amazing song

[xxstraight0edgexx]

Amazing video. I love BFF to death!

[gogators4114]

This song reminds me of my friend Kate.

[mojacherox]

Amazing song!

[mudman40]

Holy gay batman!! LOL

[connorconard]

pretty sweet

[kmh0116]

what. the heck.

[theblueteam10]

you mean, hell lol, this is weird enough

[greenflamigo]

how does this thing have no comments

[Seaton6017]

I was wondering the exact same thing. Haha. I think it's because this whole vevo stuff is new (I don't like it, btw).
