Ben Folds' cover of Such Great Heights

Back


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?

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.

For having "off" vocals, he is sure as hell richer than you are.
No offense.

minwav, you lack brain matter as well as good taste in music, to say the absolute least. (:

anywho, this cover is great, i love ben folds and he never fails to amaze me with his music, whether its a cover or an original. plus he picked a song that was bitchin in the first place.

Is he gay? Does he have autism? Is he mildly retarted? No! It's Ben Folds and he's vocally pitch-challenged with the head of an astronaut in the down-dressing attire of today's gay Southern Alt Rock youth! Give him a hand people!!!

His vocals are so off. He needs to reassess his singing it's horrible. No offense to his fans.
