I haven't heard that, that explains everythingTMBJon wrote:Around the time of Poodle Hat, I recall Al saying something to the effect of this song starting out trying to be a Ben Folds Five style parody but it morphed into its own thing. I would guess that they set out to do a BFF style parody but once the two of them got into the studio, the song got away from them and became its own thing of beauty.
Having said that, the opening piano riff as well as the solo are quintessential Ben Folds, as good as the best of his own songs.
