Ben Folds

[madlori]

Okay, y'all. You need to RUN, not walk but RUN, to iTunes and download the
new Ben Folds album, "Way to Normal." Because it's brillant and piano-y and
funny and awesome and there's a duet with Regina Spektor.

I think "Effington" is my favorite song so far.

Sample lyrics.

Effington could be a wonderful Effing place

Done and done. I have loved Ben Folds since I was in high school (and that has been a while now, ugh). Effington is such a great song! It is classic Ben Folds. I also like how he works in the astronaut diaper lady into the song Cologne, effing brilliant!

We have an Effingham here in NH, don't know if that's where cleo lives. My boys used to die laughing when we saw the signs and drove through the place on some of our car trips. Our family calls it EFFingham, with a big loud accent on the EFF. heh

I saw something in a humor magazine where people were asked to send in made-up sports team names for real towns. I remember someone sent in the Effingham Damned Sandwiches.

Here in Illinois, we have an Effingham a little ways south of Normal. I read the lyrics and wondered if little Benny got the town of "Effingham" wrong, hah.

I actually adore Ben Folds. I saw him a few months ago, after having been a fan for 6 years. SO WORTH IT!

That song is hilarious!!! I don't think I've ever commented here, just been a silent reader, but we saw Ben Folds live on Saturday and he played this and it was awesome!!! And it was EffingHAM, he just got confused when he was making the song up :)

LOL, great lyrics.

It's probably a good thing he didn't call this song Effingham :P
