Does anyone join me in seeing Ben Folds as Joe Jackson's bastard love child? (in a good way, I might add)

Easily one of the top 10 opening lines ever. |

Sounds like your musical appreciation rivals your spelling/cleverness. |

Once again.............For those who haven't noticed Excelsior hasn't been around for a few weeks. I don't know if Bill finally gave him the axe or he just plain gave up. Either way, please stop re-posting his comments. Thank You.

Oh, so you think you have the standing to comment on tone-deafness? Sorry dude, you gave that up approximately 897 witless comments back. BYE BYE. Excelsior wrote:This tone-deaf joker should have been left in the 80's where he belongs. |

Great song that doesn't get nearly enough airplay. Thanks for playing it!
(Farah does an excellent cover, too.)

A 6'6" British dude producing music much more relevant to a Hoosier kid than anything played on commercial radio - what great memories and this tune stands the test of time. He's 6'6"? Cripes. He doesn't sound that tall. |

Back in my college days I had the live version. (Thanks to a great bootleg) It is really great, I wish I still had it, or better yet someone would upload it for Bill. |
