Song for the DumpedBen Folds Five

Ben Folds Five – Song For The Dumped

Ben Folds Five is a three-piece band from the United States, known for their piano-driven sound.

The Japanese title of this work is “Give Me My Money Back.” In this case, the Japanese title faithfully reflects the song’s content: essentially, “Give back all the money I’ve spent on you!!” While most people wouldn’t actually do such a thing, there are surely men who, in a heated moment, might think that way.

It was released in 1997.

Best Thing I Never HadBeyoncé

Beyoncé – Best Thing I Never Had (Video)

I don’t think a Japanese person could write this song.

It sounds like they’re thanking the person they broke up with, but they’re not at all—they’re casually throwing in words of resentment.

And yet there’s nothing messy about it, and in the end they thank God.

I think it’s interesting and a good song.
