One of many great songs from Ben Folds (Five). I can't believe it took me about 3 years to pick up this album. I'd really love to see him make the charts again, because in my opinion he's one of the greatest lyrical geniuses out there.  |

I love it.
However, I think that it being his most well-known solo hit is kind of misleading. The smart-ass stuff was much more a Ben Folds Five thing. The record was a lot more "Still Fightin' It" than this.
That being said, it hasn't gotten old with me after hearing it.
"Y'all don't know what it's like being male, middle class and white. It makes me so pissed off it makes me wanna say, 'fuuucck!"

It's by far the smartass-iest song on Rockin' The Suburbs OR Songs For Silverman. I suppose it was his best shot at an alternative hit though. |
