Ben Folds and Sara Bareilles duet “Baby It’s Cold Outside” (with the help of some Sing-Off contestants) on The Sing-Off Christmas.
(Okay, I replaced the video link with a better rip, still with the funny intro.)
- NYMAG: What song do you wish had become a hit?
- Ben Folds: That was happening a lot for a while in the era when we were releasing songs like 'Still Fighting It' and 'The Luckiest,' which has proven to have real longevity, but the label wasn’t even going to release it as a single because it didn’t have drums. And now I don’t walk through a day in public when someone doesn’t tell me they used it as their wedding song. I’m sure if there was a wedding top ten chart I’d have a hit. I also think 'Landed' could have gone a little further. Even 'You Don’t Know Me,' it did okay, but songs like that are more universal than the people running the business understand — they just don’t sound exactly like everything else.
"Milwaukee’s just got a lot of soul, that’s the main thing. It’s a good combination of soul and brains. They get pretty drunk at those Summerfests. A lot of happy, smart, drunk people is what I usually think of."

Listening to this on repeat while I try and chip away at some of this homework. Tufts Beelzebubs do an a cappella cover of Ben Fold’s “Cologne.”
Four, three, two, one
I’m letting you go
