Hiro is sick..People should dare to venture away from the shit the radio stations spew forth and check out some real music

I love that Ben is still rocking the red pants. This song rules- thanks for posting.

Fantastic rock tune, and now the demo is on Ben's new album (best of)... fab

@W3LSH100 : The melody of both songs seem very similar, although Ben's version is obviously much more upbeat and both contain a Hiro and a Yuko. Blur's song is on an album called "The Great Escape" which, in a nutshell, is a concept album about mid-life crisis and desperate attempts to feel young, which is basically what Hiro in Ben's version is suffering from. I would be so shocked if Ben's song wasn't inspired by Blur.

If there is any connection i think the blur song "yuko and hiro" is much better.

I love this song! I bought this CD and still listen today.

Damn...Ben Folds, Millard Powers, AND Snuzz on the same stage. Oh, what I'd give for a time machine so I could see that in person.

this is from the dance game called Bust a Groove, it's the character Hiro's song (Karaoke Supernova)

[whereitsatodelay]

so its like he took the themes in yuko and hiro by blur and elaborated, made his own narrative to. unless yuko and hiro are names that are from some other narrative or something in Japanese culture. can anyone elaborate if they know?

[redsoxbean07]

It is on Songs for Goldfish.

[gregoe86]

I think it's from the Japanese version of Rockin the Suburbs

you can tell these guys are really talented musicians the way they can make something so simple sound so good and play it with such, for lack of a better word, flair without having to show off.
