Who Is Your Ben?

by Bonachichi




Don’t tell anyone... I love this song. It’s so sweet and it says so much about friendship. Who is the Ben in your life and how did this person become “Ben”?

Until I look up the lyrics, I can't comment on the SMV.

Hmmm, maybe it's about a best friend, if my memory serves me.

Morning Glories!

Mo you look stunning this morning.

I used to love this song Bon and then I found out it was a theme song for a rat! Nough said.

lmbo......I was thinking of my cousin....and then I read this:

Don Black and Walter Scharf wrote this for the 1972 movie of the same name. It was the sequel to a movie called Willard, which was remade in 2003 starring Crispin Glover. Ben is a pet rat. In the movie, a young boy befriends the rat, but the rat turns evil and recruits other rats to attack humans. In the remake of Willard, Ben becomes an enormous super-rat.

Now I'm thinking of someone totally different!~

Ben was Willard's best friend, too. He got around!

Poor Willard. Poor Ben. Poor MJ!

Well I officially don't like this song anymore. It's been popping into my head and it's more annoying than the Backin' Up song. I actually like the Backin' Up song.

If you forget that the song was written for a rat, it says a lot about friendships. I don't think I have a Ben. I don't let people get that close to me. But it would be nice sometimes. I see a few "Ben and Me" couples here. I envy them.

Sorry to hear that Jennifer. It sounds very painful. I hope you feel better soon.

Maureen what the hell are you booming and binging so freakin early in the morning for? SOME of us would like to sleep in! At least Tina moans quietly!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

I thought this song was about a mouse, not a rat?

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Evening all you other Who Who's!

Dianne/Denver said...

I don't like mice or rat stories, songs or people--creeps me out

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Hi Guys!

BONACHI: I have this 45! I bought it before I knew that the movie was going to be about a man and his best friend the rat. I just can't think of it any other way now..it will always be 'the rat song'..too bad really..it has a really sweet melody.

YO MO! Badda bing badda boom Gorgeous! :D

TINA: Enormous Super Rat? Yikes! Sounds like my brother! ;)

DIANNE: I knew this song wouldn't be in your Top 10..lol..

SACBARB: Sounds like you guys had some wild weather last night..I hope everything is ok at your place!

Nikki is being a pest..I better get her fed..or let her out..or trip over her...or something..

Waving HI to all the Owls..Have a good night! :)

Bonachichi. I knew this song was about a rat and was puzzled when you posed the question about having a Ben in our life. I don't have any Bens or their cousins, meeces, either.

sacBarb said...

Mo, are you a Soprano now? Badda boom, badda bing back at ya. You and Cary are the prettiest today.

Zona, I survived the storm with relatively no damage. My Irish furniture (Patti O'furniture) got tossed all over the yard, but it's plastic so it is unharmed.

I just got home from a wonderful concert by a Polish Philharmonic Orchestra. It was pouring down rain when we got out and we got soaked but I am dry and warming up now.

BTW, I tried to call you, but YOUR LINE WAS BUSY! I thought you were going to get call waiting??????

Maureen said...

SAC BARB...LOL@ Patti'O Furniture!

ZONA...I hope you either fed or let out Nikki and didn't trip over her.
