There's a little song he wrote. The audience performed it note for note.

Blarghman · 08-03-2009, 10:37 AM

That reminds me of that time when I was on stage and I had people sing the pentatonic scale by moving around on the stage. Then I made a song. Then I found roughly $5.

Ben Folds does a lot of audience participation, here he turns the audience into the horn section for Army:

YouTube - Ben Folds - Army Live

Then he creates whole audience 3-part harmony for Not The Same:

And Ben has talent when it comes to every instrument known to man, and songwriting. Please don't try and compare Bobby McFerrin's "level of talent" and Ben Folds'. This isn't meant as a slight against McFerrin either. Ben Folds is an extremely talented songwriter, an extremely talented musician, particularly a phenomenal piano player. He'll freely admit that he doesn't have the greatest voice.

Only in OT could this thread turn into a Ben Folds / Bobby McFerrin flamewar. ****ing brilliant. Somewhere... waggonmonster is rolling over on his coffee table.
