The Childish popped up on my YouTube autoplay, and with all the brilliance going on in the Sweatpants video, I had forgotten about this little gem of automotive nerd bait at 1:45.

2014, man. A simpler time.

Great song great vid. I remember the first time I heard it. I remember thinking he’s wrong about the Tesla. But that self-awareness was gold

No doubt - I think history will reveal him to be one of the all time greats.

As a Ben Folds (Five) fan, the “Got five on it like Ben Folds” got me into this song, and his work.

And they worked together on Community, which I was involved in helping to leak this song of Ben’s from the show onto the internet:

I first heard about him on Community. Then I heard his music and was floored. I don’t usually like music like his but damn he makes it hard to dislike.

Oh man, no way!

Adam, of course, gave Ben a shout out, too. I saw the Ben Folds 5 in concert years ago, and they were incredible.

I missed out on seeing them before they broke up, but made it to the reunion show in 08 in Chapel Hill. Saw them again when they re-grouped for a bit, but mostly saw Ben solo.

He and I had a bit of a falling out, but I used to be somewhat involved with his internet presence back in the day.

I got nuthin’. I wasn’t even logged into Kinja an hour ago. In fact, I’ve been having a hard time logging in to Kinja at all today. And, uh, I don’t spend much time over on Jezebel. Which reply was it?

No idea. Link doesn’t go anywhere. I figured you didn’t visit Jez too often.
