Come here one time, what's up y'all.

To my home boy out there in LA:
Wussup boy? Wussup yo? Come on.

Oh, goddamn.

Yo this goes out to my home boy Tre,
Going on in Chapel Hill.

They all said it.
Mmm-hmm.
They all said it.
Ugh!

Mmm.
They all said it.

Yo shouts out to my main manager-man, Al Wolmark,
Known as aka, "Ill Pride of Motherfucker".

Yeah, I said for those of y'all with fannie packs:

Yah, this song goes out to
My main-man at The Point in Atlanta
Wussup, G? Gimme more fucking monitor man!

I'm sorry, I can't give you any more monitor than that.
It won't go any higher than that because the transistors,
The resistors, they won't go any higher!
Yo, yo eh!

Alright, yo, take this motherfucker out
With a piano solo.
Goddamn, ugh!

Ugh, goddamn.
Uh.

Alright.
Turn that shit out.

Ugh!

Ha ha ha! I hoped you taped that!
That's our next single.
Oh, they left.
They gave up.
"These guys are fucking idiots."
Ha ha ha!
That sucked!

More than an improv. I think this song is an attack at Neu-Metal (mainly Rage Against the Machine).

A lot of the lyrics in this song come from famous saying or quirks frequent in Rage songs, like...

take this motherfucker out...

bring in the bass...

Alright, let's break it, break it, break it down...

Ugh.. (said in the exact same voice)

Bring this shit in!...

Bass in your face!...

take this motherfucker out!...

Given the conflict between BF5 and Neu-Metal groups and the word-for-word lyrics, I would have to say this would be a jam session with a bit of mockery and critism (like "Rockin' the Suburbs")

Also, The singer (I'm geussing its Darren Jessee because Slegde and Folds are both playing and talk to the singer during the song) mocks De La Rocha's singing style and voice

this song is hilarious.

although, if you're not already a fan, it might just come across as bizarre.

uhh.. Even as a hardcore fan.. this song still comes across as bizarre.. : )

i thought it was a joke or someone being stupid....lol

This song IS a joke. Ben wrote on the liner notes for Naked Babies Photos that this one was just the guys screwing around before a show. A direct quote: "Engineers tend to go out for coffee while we're on these kicks and luckily they often leave the tape machines on."

Well, i think they are just making fun of rap songs. Which i personally don't like rap. So if someone makes me listen to this song, i jsut turn around and listen to this and realize what a much better artist that ben is than rappers. rap isn't even music.

This song was ALL IMPROVISED on the spot when it was recorded...Thats why he says "I hope we taped that" at the end...They didnt mix it or anything before releasing it on "Naked Baby Photos"...and even though its bizarre, its not intentionally making fun of rap because the lyrics are FREESTYLED

Cover art for For Those Of Ya'll Who Wear Fannie Packs lyrics by Ben Folds Five

this..uh..."song"..is awesome. i found the naked baby photos album in my house the other day and listened to it, its effing cool.

Basically, Ben Folds is completely hysterical. If you can, try and get your hands on Short Bus Benny. It's only ever been done live, I think, but it's another rap. It's SO unPC and SO the funniest thing you've ever heard.
