"The Last Polka" by Ben Folds (Cover)

Update: All four of us ran into Ben after the concert in Philadelphia on 9/6 and we asked him if he'd seen any of the contest videos. He responded with "what contest?". We hope he eventually gets to see this! :D

We recorded and filmed this for the Sing Your Heart Out contest, originally by Ben Folds Five. Mike Stein on Piano, Justin Bulava on drums, Lauren Fairweather and Nina Jankowicz on vocals.

the music's decent. but the vocals are a little to broadway-ish. Try less vibrato and see if you can get your voice to crack a little.

Good-luck

Thanks for the constructive criticism, jazzpiano10! :)

Lauren! This song is so addictive. I've listened to it like 800 times today!!

I'm not a big Ben Folds fan, in all honesty.

But as soon as Mike started stamping on that piano with his foot all that went out the window.

This is absolutely amazing, the vocals, piano and drums are all amazing, and so is the editing!

I love that 'Music is Love' t-shirt. Where's that from?

You're all gorgeous. (:

This is like, the 7th time I've listened to this in about half an hour.
