Favorite Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five song?

What are your favorites & why?

Mine:

1. One Angry Dwarf - I love it because he played this the first time I saw him live as the opening song.

2. Smoke - great breakup song...LOVE the lyrics.

3. Evaporated - again, love the lyrics

4. Battle of Who Could Care Less - one of the ones I first started listening to when I got into the Folds 3 years ago.

5. Don't Change Your Plans - love the piano on this especially & the lyrics. I am not crazy about this video though.

6. Underground - great song

Update:

I've met Ben too! He's awesome. I should have asked what his fave song to play would be?

    One Angry Dwarf -- I mean, come on. It's brilliant.

    Steven's Last Night in Town -- The irony and sarcasm just crack me up, plus the music is so different and happy sounding that it slays me.

    Battle of Who Could Care Less -- The piano in it is just great.

    Song for the Dumped -- especially the Japanese version. The lyrics are just exactly what you want to say when you've been dumped. The Japanese version is funny because of the random English phrases inserted, especially at the end where he predicts that he will be singing on a cruise ship in five years.

    Brick -- Breaks my heart.

    I like "Underground" the best. It's funny, because they used to play that song on the radio when it first came out, and I hated it. But now I love that song. "Officer Friendly's boy's got a mohawk." My other favorite songs are "Army" (I love the opening two lines), "Battle Of Who Could Care Less," and "Song For The Dumped"

    "Brick". It's so evocative & paints an incredible mental picture. I also like the work he did on the William Shatner "Has Been" album.

    I met Ben a few years ago. He's very sweet.

    Brick & evaporated. Brick coz i like the piano part... & it's melancholic.

    Evaporated coz the lyrics is purely remorseful.

    I POURED MY HEART OUT & IT EVAPORATED

    i feel that way often.
