Karaoke Supernova

Sorry...I couldn't resist! This is "Karaoke Supernova" (aka Hiro's Song) by Ben Folds. Ben Folds kicks ass! He's a piano genius - like Elton John meets punk. This song is crazy - about a Japanese salaryman having an affair with his daughter's friend. Ben Folds is big in Japan, and I think all the touring he did there inspired this song. I also first heard this on Inter FM, which he also did a bunch of station ID promos for. This song is only the tip of the iceberg. You got to check out all of his back catalogue. Rock on with yo bad self!

I love Ben Folds. The whole concept of the song made me think of Blur for some reason and when he said "Yuko and Hiro" that was weird. I love that crazy song by them.


Aren't I glamorous?
