Biografía:
El trio formado por Ben Folds, Darren Jessee y Robert Sledge con excelente sentido del humor y una inteligencia poco vista en el pop fue capaz de producir albumes como Whatever and ever amen o Naked baby Photos. Sus canciones son sarcásticas y con algo de humor negro como en Song for the Dumped o increiblemente trabajadas y bellas como en Magic.
El último trabajo de la banda fue en 1999 con The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. Suceso que dio pie a la fructífera carrera solista de Ben Folds, lider de la banda.

"Best Imitation of Myself"
by Ben Folds Five (music and lyrics by Ben Folds)
from the album _Ben_Folds_Five_
This song is originally for piano, bass, and drums but I
figured it out for guitar... It was actually really easy.
C Cmaj9
I feel like a quote out of context,
Am F G Am Dsus2
Withholding the rest so I can be for you what you wanna see.
C Cmaj9 Am
I got the gestures, sounds, got the timing down
F G Am Dsus2
It's uncanny, yeah, you'd think it was me. Do you think I should
G E7 Am G D/F#
Take a class to lose my southern accent?
F G F G
Did I make me up or make the face that is stuck
F G C
I'll do the best imitation of myself.
C Cmaj9 Am
The problem was your speech you gave me was fine
F G Am Dsus2
Like the theories about my little stage.
C Cmaj9 Am
And I sorta was listening till I started drifting
F G Am Dsus2
'round the part about me acting my age. Now if it's
G E7 Am G D/F#
All the same... I've people to entertain.
F G F G
I'll juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and
F G C
Do the best imitation of myself.
E7 Am
Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole...
E7 Am
Wondering...
F Am
Who I am when I oughta know
F Am E7
Straighten up now, time to go fool somebody else...
Am G D G E7
Fool somebody else. Last night I was
C Cmaj9 Am
East wind of them... a voice within...
F G Am Dsus2
Trying to be for you what you wanna see.
C Cmaj9 Am
But I can't help it if you, you wanna pack on through
F G Am Dsus2
Don't want you hanging out with no-one but me. Now that it's
G E7 Am G D
All... all the same... it comes from a sacred place.
F G
Yeah, if my mind's somewhere else
F G
You won't be able to tell
F G C
I do the best imitation of myself
F G
Yes, it's uncanny you'll see
F G
You'd really think it was me.
F G Am Dsus2
I do the best imitation of myself...
F G D/F#
I do the best imitation of myself.
