Synopsis!
"Ben" is a number-one hit song written by Don Black and Walter Scharf and recorded by the teenaged Michael Jackson for the Motown label in 1972. The song, the theme of a 1972 film of the same name (the sequel to the 1971 killer rat movie Willard), spent one week at the top of the U.S. pop chart. It also reached number-one on the Australian pop chart, spending eight weeks at the top spot. The song also later reached a peak of number seven on the British pop chart.
The song became the first of 13 number-one pop hits for Jackson in the United States and his first number-one as a solo artist.
Later included on Jackson's album of the same name, "Ben" won a Golden Globe for Best Song and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

About Movie!
"Ben" is a 1972 film about a young boy (played by Lee H. Montgomery) and his pet rat, Ben. This film is a sequel to the 1971 film Willard. *Where Willard Ended... Ben Begins. And This Time He's Not Alone!.*

A lonely boy befriends the rat that leads the swarm of trained/telepathic rats found in Willard. This rat, whom the boy names Ben, becomes the boy's best friend and keeps his spirits up in the face of bullying. However, the balance of power between the human and rat begins to shift, with Ben beginning to control the boy and the swarm becoming increasingly irrational and violent. Eventually, the police destroy many members of the rat colony, while others are sent to testing labs; Ben, however, survives.


.....Lyrics.....

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben....End

@nomme20 Nope hes a redneck 

[dutch4ever65]

My rat is named BEN! XD

[Carnage1235]

I really don't know if this film is meant to be touching or not. The same goes for Willard. I mean, in Willard Ben is an evil little rat, and in the movie Ben, Ben himself sends his colony to attack the townspeople.

LOVE IT such a touching song an it dosent have to be about the rat its an awsome song to any guy you love or care about

this is the theme song for willard. willard is a movie about a gut you has a dead end job and no friends or future. he makes friends with the rts in his basment.he finds out the rats will do anything he says. he end up telling the rats to eat his boss.the rat the leads name is socert. the boss ends up killing that rat so the new leader rats name is ben. that explains the name. at the end the rats eat willard.but willard comes back to life and is put in a nut house.he also killes ben at the end
