What's It Called?

What's The Story?
Ben Folds writes top 40 hit Brick, yadda yadda yadda, teams up with British author Nick Hornby to make an album that can be filed under and-now-for-something-completely-different. The album is called Lonely Avenue; this is the tune that has a music video.

Who's To Blame?
Er... every music blog on Earth?

Why ♥ It?
If you've never heard Ben Folds' cover of Such Great Heights, this comparison might have no bearing; but this is one of those tracks where Folds has his usual vocal-piano basis, but has a percussion section that's a shame to miss, and a ton of fun things going on that are easily overlooked if you're song-skimming. I won't deny the track's weirdness, but if you like anything by Ben Folds or pop-rock pianists in general, the pleasant atmosphere and catchy hooks of this tune are worth your time.
