Ben
So I recently bought "The Essential Michael Jackson" on itunes because it was ridiculous that I didn't have a single song by him on my ipod. I was never a huge fan of Michael Jackson (musically speaking I mean). I never had anything against him, I was just never really crazy into his music. I think I was born at the wrong time, since when Thriller was released I didn't even exist yet. Anyway, I think it's safe to say that before today I never once listened to the song "Ben" in my life. But today I listened to it and it was familiar and I realized, "Hey! That's what Michael sings to Ben!" And then I paid attention to the rest of the lyrics and *meep* they're so perfect!


Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to

I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

Now I need to add "Ben" to my QAF mix, but I need to label it with an episode number (because I'm OCD like that). So which episode is it where Michael sings to Ben to try to win him over?

Ha, I thought Michael just made up that song on the spot.

I didn't know that song was called Ben. :)

That scene happens in 209. The viagra episode.

"Ben" by Michael Jackson was the theme song to a horror movie. Ben was a rat. About a social misfit and his pack of killer rats. Sequel to "Willard."

I grew up with the song and knew Ben was a rodent of some kind...but having never seen the movie, I was leaning toward hamster. *rolls eyes*

I think our Michael's use of the song was much better.
Seriously, MJ singing about loving a psychotic rat?

I think it is 209...but I suck at episode numbers.
Besa? Could you confirm this please?
*snicker*

Oh, Besa already confirmed it was 209 a few comments ago. LMAO.
