YouTune no.13: The Last Polka

Posted by rich, 17 Apr 2010

YouTune2.0 continues apace, leaving YouTube1.0 and all previous entries languishing in the music archive. No longer do you need to click through, dear reader. Instead you can click to play.

That's progress, and this is Ben Folds Five doing The Last Polka:

The first I ever heard of Ben Folds Five was in a Counting Crows lyric. The second I ever heard of them was in the launderette at uni at the end of my first year, when my best friend leant me the album with The Last Polka on it. That pretty much sealed the deal.

OK, you've stumped me - which Counting Crows song mentions Ben Folds Five?

Love this one, btw! Have you heard his acoustic solo version of it? Also very good.

The Counting Crows song is Monkey, off Recovering the Satellites.

Haven't heard the acoustic version - would be great to hear it! Do you have a link?
