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.
