Theoretically, I’m a little old for Ben Folds. Okay, a lot old, particularly for his repeated preference for cuss words. But his piano playing is fine and some of his lyrics are quite funny, or insightful, or both.
"Rocking the Suburbs," for instance:
"We’re rocking the suburbs
We part the shades and face facts
They got better looking Fescue
Right across the cul de sac"
Also "Army":
"cause my peers they criticize me
and my ex-wives all despise me
trying to put it all behind me
but my redneck past is nipping at my heels"
Most of his clips on YouTube have terrible audio. This one of his hit song "Brick," about a guy accompanying his girlfriend to an abortion, is admittedly a little weird. But the music and lyrics (despite the absence of the F-word) are a good introduction to him.
