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/filedump/Solo%20Tracks/Ben%20Folds%20-%20Such%20Great%20Heights.mp3 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.

Nov 11, 2008 - None taken. But I fuckin' love this man's voice.
minwav Says:
Nov 11, 2008 - Is he gay? Does he have autism? Is he mildly retarted? No! It's Ben Folds and he's vocally pitch-challenged with the head of an astronaut in the down-dressing attire of today's gay Southern Alt Rock youth! Give him a hand people!!!

Nov 13, 2008 - minwav, you lack brain matter as well as good taste in music, to say the absolute least. (: anywho, this cover is great, i love ben folds and he never fails to amaze me with his music, whether its a cover or an original. plus he picked a song that was bitchin in the first place.

TheArcaneAvenger Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - For having "off" vocals, he is sure as hell richer than you are. No offense.
sawderjame Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - having off vocals? are you an expert on every single persons opinion? his vocals are amazing and a hell of a lot more creative than you'll ever be! what about other famous musicians? jim morrison, elton john, connor oberst! do they have off vocals too?!!!
saosurvive126 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - No shit, just because he doesn't have the same voice as Ben Gibbard or Sam Beam doesn't mean he has off vocals. Although I will make the argument that Connor Oberst has so-so vocal skills, but extremely mad lyrical skills!

DARTHROCKER1 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - his voice is pretty good but not incredible
laneigeblanc Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - actually, the postal service covered such great heights by iron and wine... :P a cover of a cover that's still amazing.
laneigeblanc Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - my mistake. iron and wine did the cover. but i like his version best :)
ElYanMan Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - Actually, you are an idiot. The song is by the Postal Service and is covered by Iron and Wine, but we do appreciate your condescending post!
sawderjame Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - saosurvive126: I agree with you conner oberst does have semi off vocals, but whose to say the sound is not appealing? It obviously is appealing to a lot of ppl. And his lyrics are fuckin awesome! I mentioned conner because i was trying to prove a point to some dip shit that doesn't know what he is talking about :)_ Thank you for backing me up!
laneigeblanc Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - i'm so glad you read the second comment, and enjoy being a dick. have a wonderful day!

Nov 21, 2008 - He's a great piano player. The way he sings it is not pleasing, at least not to my ears. I do like that song he did with Regina Spektor.
Quest1989 Says:
Nov 21, 2008 - Ben Folds EXCELLENT
eliguerra1990 Says:
Nov 10, 2008 - His vocals are so off. He needs to reassess his singing it's horrible. No offense to his fans.
