1 | * "Underground" is an epic rock song about alienation and fitting in with an underground rock scene. Early on, there's a moment wherein Darren (the drummer) declares "[[LargeHam Hand me my nose ring!]]". |
2 | * Ben Folds doing improv piano for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB1do0pULJY Chatroulette]]. |
3 | * The first two lines of "Army": |
4 | --> Well, I thought about the [[TitleDrop army]], |
5 | --> Dad said, "Son, you're [[PrecisionFStrike fuckin']] high." |
6 | * From "Draw a Crowd" |
7 | --> Ohhhh oh, if you're feeling small, if you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall! |
8 | ** From the final stanza of the same song: |
9 | ---> Taste my Vanilla Thunder! |
10 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34u_3Z9_LUw video]] for "Rockin' the Suburbs", which consists of really angry suburban white persons trying to look like a hardcore rock band. For extra funny, they're all played by Ben. The fact it was directed by Music/WeirdAlYankovic does not hurt, either. |
11 | * His explanation as to why Ben Folds Five only has three members: |
12 | --> "Because Ben Folds Three sounds stupid." |
13 | ** There's a behind-the-scenes video for "Do It Anyway" where the [[Series/FraggleRock Fraggles]] remain in character - at one point Red wonders aloud when the other two members are going to show up. |
14 | * His ''soft rock'' cover of "Bitches Ain't Shit." |
15 | ** ...and then his friend asked him to play it ''at his wedding''! |
16 | * Ending "Fired" wth a [[PrecisionFStrike precision]] MotherFBomb. ''In harmony!'' |
17 | * The fact that his most recent songbook transcribes the parts on some of his songs where he slams his elbow down on the keyboard. The man is thorough! |
