"The best song ever written (for now)"

Saw a video today for "RoF**king The Suburbs" by Ben Folds Five.
The video has the singer wearing a red baseball cap baF**kwards and acting really dumb.
Lyrics are here, wonder who they are singing about?
Any ideas? Limp what?


Let me tell y'all what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
It's a beetch, if you don't believe
Listen up to my new CD
I got sheet runnin' throught my brain
It's so intense that I can't explain
All alone in my white-boy pain
Shake your booty while the band complains

I'm roF**kin' the suburbs
Just like Michael JaF**kson did
I'm roF**kin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm roF**kin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sheetty traF**ks

I'm peessed off but I'm too polite
When people break in the McDonald's line
Mom and Dad you made me so uptight
I'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight
I don't know how much I can take
Girl, give me something I can break

I'm roF**kin' the suburbs
Just like Quiet Riot did
I'm roF**kin' the suburbs
Except that they were talented
I'm roF**kin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sheetty traF**ks

In a haze these days I pull up to the stop light
I can feel that something's not right
I can feel that someone's blasting me with hate
And bass
Sendin' dirty vibes my way '
Cause my great great great great Grandad
Made someones' great great great great Grandaddies slaves

It wasn't my idea
It wasn't my idea
Never was my idea
I just drove to the store
For some preparation H

Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white

Just like Jon Bon Jovi did I'm roF**kin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say
'F*F**k'
Yeah that’s right I’m gonna say that word
Because I’m angry and you can tell
Word

I just downloaded the MP3 of it, what a frickin good song.

Sheepy, Ben Folds is fantastic! Good choice.

Also, anyone know a release date or album or anything about this song Goaty has mentioned?

Just reading the words make want to her it!

Genius

I heard that and Army.. now I am exploring days of Ben Folds Five... Top Stuff

Excellent... glad somebody else agrees

Saw it about three times, not bad song, humurous video and cool I guess.

I like this guy... saw his last one which was not bad. Did he not have a band before Ben Folds 5 something :-)

I like it.

Durst cap and Korn video extracting the urine out of them... excellent.

I swear to you it's pants-wettingly funny!

I would have to beat myself up for downloading Vanilla Ice.

MP3, that is...

The greatest track of all time has to be "Havin a Roni" by Vanilla ice.

Go to www.kazaa com, and search for it.

You will not regret this!

That song is so good. Especially the bit in the video where the producer makes the song rock. Inspired.

ben folds five are pretty good. Brick is an very good song. Not seen the video for this one though, i'll try get my hands on it.
