The Single: You Don't Know Me
The Artist: Ben Folds (featuring Regina Spektor)
Ben Folds is one of the masters of sad clown. Pay attention to these lyrics, and you'll hear one of the saddest relationships ever: a couple, who has lived with each other for a long time without ever really understanding the other... and probably realizing it will be this way forever. But with Regina Spektor's lovely caterwall, Folds creates a pop window for us to look into... and the song isn't just pleasant, it's enjoyable to watch. That's disturbing... but it's also kind of cool.
