So, not Ben Folds himself, but this one comes from his a capella CD.
I love the original, no doubt, but this is an excellent cover and arrangement. Not to mention it solidifies my want to be in an a capella group or show choir.
Side note: Kay Lewis and I do an awesome job singing along to this one, by the way. Especially when in my car.
1. Flip Flops.
2. Freeze pops.
3. Driving with the windows down and the volume up.
4. BBQs with friends.
5. Sunshine. Warmth. Vitamin D.
Crowd participation for the win!!
Ben Folds – “Army”
As I’ve mentioned recently on Twitter, I recently realized how much I enjoy mashups that include this awesome Jay-Z song. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like the song on it’s own just fine, but it just seems to make for some really sweet mashups.
I’ve decided to try to pull together a list/playlist of the various versions that are out there. Lofty goal, I know. 😉
I already have 3 versions – 99 Luftballoons, from the Grey Album, and a track with Limp Bizkit Linkin Park (thanks Meaghan for the correction)- but I’m asking for some other suggestions of the good ones that are out there.
And on that note, I’m going to try to get some sleep on this humid Minnesota night.
Continuing the Ben Folds theme. . .
Five things I did during this perfect Minnesota weekend.
1. Took my dog on a 1.2 mile walk around my neighborhood.
2. Did a bunch of yardwork, including weeding, mowing the front & back lawns, and prepping window boxes for planting.
3. Had a DQ Blizzard (M&Ms made with chocolate ice cream)
4. Listened to music while reading on the couch with the windows open with a sleeping pup at my feet.
5. Drank a ton of Arnie Palmers.
