Ben Folds' cover of Such Great Heights

Ukulele Videos

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? http://wokeupwaytoolate.com/fi... 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.

Look at the description of the video: "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."

You people aren't getting it. It's not necessarily about the song, or how well Folds performs it. It has to do with his improvisation, and as the woman at the beginning says, his spontaneity and innovation. He just showed up and played the song without looking at any sheet music. He just made the chords up. Look at the percussionists. You've got a guy playing a box covered in a towel with a wooden spoon, and another guy playing a wine glass and a metal coaster with chopsticks.

Hey glad to help :) Yeah it's weird cause you don't often get cover's of the single ON the single!! And they're Never as good as Iron & Wine's cover lol Anyway it doesn't really matter who wrote it. The song is brilliant either way!! and I DO own the EP Blubberlips....sorry lol

Oh, i always thought they wrote it! thanks for telling me something in a nonrude way, unlike "blubberlips". there username probably fits them somewhat well. i didnt mean to be rude, but im just stating my opinion about this.

Ben Folds has the shittiest voice ever and that host looks like she was raised in a barn. 1 star for this shitty video.
