This is the GOAT LaV.

[@bedwyr84]

Hands down

[@ricky7973]

Aaaand of course removed from Apple Music.

[@SimoWill75]

I unliked this so I could like it again

[@robpallot5058]

17 years later - still good as gold, Ben Folds...

[@gemmaedwards9095]

How did this not get in the top 100 😢

[@mab8485]

I voted this as my number 1 and was also shocked when it didn't even make the top 100. It's too old school I suppose...... oh well! Let the kids miss out 😂

[@phenel]

I have been looking for this since I first watched the show in 2008. I wish you'd added the part leading up to it. how he gets the file box and puts a tea towel on it, puts aluminium foil on the piano strings then uses a cup with some water and taps with a pencil. I loved this so much. it's been 15 years and it's finally available for me to show people I know.

[@rnehrenz]

I love that you are adding a bunch of older ones!

[@RivaldoDeniz]

How have I only just discovered this despite being a fan of the original. Incredible

[@regfries8279]

same!

[@barbeerian]

I've been lucky enough to see him do this live. He's been doing it for a long time.

[@honouredaussie]

I used to be able to play this after watching him do this masterpiece years ago, sure he makes a mistake at the end but omg playing this for 3 minutes like this is actually extremely tiring. Its like playing ascent of stan but on speed.

[@PatrickMcGerr]

Look up the MySpace (yep lmao) concert he played it at

[@bennyfranklin]

This is so good Ben. This song is making a huge comeback and is being used in films again this year. Best version I’ve heard in the 20 years of this song existing.

[@jijinae7396]

My parents always put on triple j and listened to them especially in the late 2000s, and I've just started discovering the songs i grew up on by finding them on KZbin. A lot of nostalgia with them 💜

[@glumplum]

plz for the love of god put this on spotify

[@BenFoldsFan421]

I first heard this song about a leather or 12 years ago… It made me absolutely ridiculously happy then and it still makes me absolutely ridiculously happy now… All the way into 2024… I like the original of this song I like the iron and wine Version of this song and this version is gotta be probably like the best one of all…

[@JonatanGGomes]

This guy has made me very happy at some point in 2006 and now again. :)

[@eric_wiley]

My sister visited nyc with her college friends when I was 11. I had a huge crush on her friend and she put me on to a bunch of 2000s artists from Maroon 5 to Postal Service. Now, I live in the LES just blocks away from the very spots they’d go and watch all their friends and SO bands play.

[@marksilvasilva]

I'll be voting this as #1 in Hottest 100 Like a Version :)

[@ianfromnsw1]

As did I.

[@sbz8620]

What a beautifully written song. Great cover too

[@gravy4624]

This one is the best.

[@dingus153]

CORE MEMORY

[@zwibak]

Goosebumps

[@mikemontgomery8407]

That put a smile on my face 😊

[@artpinsof5836]

Best outro to a song I’ve ever heard 😂

[@lukepeterson3541]

this is fucking incredible

[@phillip7928]

Wow

[@ricky7973]

Big "2006 older brother that goes to university in new hampshire playlist" type energy

[@lucasunger2720]

[@mp-db5nq]

[@BodhisattvaBabe]

[@Karamazov9]

This was made for me

[@erikoverland5305]

Just when I thought Ben Folds had one of the best covers with ‘Bitches Ain’t S***, I dig this up. Thanks for always keeping listeners on their toes like in ‘Macarena’ Ben!

[@MauiMR]

I really hope this returns to Apple Music some day!

[@mowgli2071]

Natural fit

[@alexherban4741]

[@matthewsimmons4597]

EEEYYYYY MACARENA

[@snakepliskin440]

When I was on deployment around 2007, we listened to Ben Folds while we bombed Iraq and Afghanistan. Brings back memories

[@JeredtheShy]

Tell Ben Folds I'm down with his Late Nina Simone phase, give me more

[@daveclark8337]
