because I forgot it was Tuesday

I forgot it was Tuesday.  

How does one forget Tuesday?  

In lieu of a proper Tunes Tuesday post, here are some of my favorite Ben Folds songs.  First up is "Annie Waits" because I love it.  Because the clock never stops, never stops, never stops, never waits, she's growing old, and it's getting late.  And that's why.

Here's a much younger Ben with Ben Folds Five singing "Selfless, Cold, and Composed."  Love the lyric "you just smile like a bank teller, blankly telling me 'have a nice life.'"  It's a break-up song.  A bad break-up song.

And now for something completely different, this clip is from a real British morning show that obviously didn't know what kind of guy Ben was.  Ben and band lipsynched to the album track, a roadie sat in on drums, the drummer was a back-up singer, and Ben was awesomely cheesetastic.  Love it, makes me laugh.

And for those of you who may not be big Ben Fold Fans, there is one special song, a song you have to hear live.  Fortunately for you, it's on the You Tubes.  You see, Ben plays live A LOT.  Once in Chicago in 2001, a fan yelled out "Rock this bitch!" and being Ben, he busted out a song improv-style called "Rock This Bitch," and it became a running thing at his concerts for years until he retired it.  Here is the masterpiece with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.
