Video: Ben Folds – You Don’t Know Me
Today we have a video that falls into the “who on earth thought this was a good idea” camp. There are a lot of whimsical songs on the new Ben Folds album, Way to Normal. You Don’t Know Me really isn’t one of them. Sure, it sounds upbeat enough, but we’re dealing with a couple realising they know sod all about each other here. You’ve also got Regina Spektor floating in and out of the song, giving it a certain dignity.
As such, a video seemingly about nothing more than cross-dressing bandmates doesn’t seem like the most appropriate theme. I have nothing against the video itself, however silly it all is, it’s just about the least appropriate song from the album to use with it. The whole album is surprisingly better than I expected. I was ready not to bother after the whole Silverman snorefest, but it’s a decent attempt to get the feel of the old Five back.
