Ben Folds' cover of Such Great Heights

Uploaded by: ColdandComposed
Video Description:
from jTV in Australia, Ben Folds' Like a Version from 2006, The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights." AND! You may or may not believe it, but The Postal Service's version IS the original. NOT Iron & Wine. Check your facts before arguing about it.
Looking for the MP3? http://wokeupwaytoolate.com/filedump/Solo%20Tracks/Ben%20Folds%20-%20Such%20Great%20Heights.mp3
NAMED #70 on Triple J's Top 100 of 2006. Pretty good for a cover!
Ben says that he forgot that he was supposed to be on Like a Version and "had to cover a popular song, and turned on my ipod and this was the most recently listened to song and found some drummers in the studio" (11/5/06 in Columbia, MO).... and tada, here we are. On the spot first time thing. Check how he's doing it now on other videos.

oh okay I'm fucking stupid because I made a mistake because I've thought Iron and Wine did it first. I still don't understand why everyone is being a bitch over something as stupid and petty as who wrote this song. Really you guys are fucking stupid for making a big deal out of nothing.

FIRST) Everyone is ... ( 5 days ago by liss107)

FIRST) Everyone is correcting your dumb ass because you corrected someone on a misconception you've had. Second) It is not a petty thing at all, iron and wine are ok but to claim a half rate fall asleep to my music band wrote the ONE good single they have that someone else wrote is bull. You're fucking stupid for sticking your unsexy kayte face into something you obviously had no grasp on.

Iron and Wine's ... ( 5 days ago by AdmitItYourJealous)

Iron and Wine's version was great, and this is OK. But, still, no one can ever beat Postal Service.

I usally like Ben Folds music. I dont know what is wrong here but ben cant carry the vocals right. Its cool that they are using all that ordinary stuff as instruments.

So many "Bens." Ben Gibbard. Ben Lee. Ben Kweller. Ben Folds.
Must be a good name for music.

I think most people ... ( 3 days ago by hopeforrain)

I think most people here are overreacting a bit. It's not the best cover, but it's not terrible. Like when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs covered Bjork's "Hyperballad". Seriously, watch that and see if you guys still think this is such a bad cover.

Hey, the point of ... ( 3 days ago by wallmunky503)

Hey, the point of doing a cover in most cases is out of respect for the artist that created it in the first place. Ben clearly is doing this because of that reason. Of course, usually, the person who is doing the cover won't sing the song as well because that particular style of singing does not match his or her own. And Ben was also doing this purely out of fun! Couldn't you tell he was? He was using household items as instruments!
Awesome work, Ben. You're a genius.

Yeah, but it didn't ... ( 3 days ago by wallmunky503)

Yeah, but it didn't surprise me that he couldn't hold the notes; that particular way of singing isn't how ben would usually sing, so I don't blame him for not being able to hit the notes spot on.

I'm surprised you ... ( 3 days ago by SamFnLeonhard)

I'm surprised you all are downing this cover. It's spectacular. I'm even very impressed by the vocals. You all should keep in mind that it is a pretty hard song to sing, especially live.
