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.

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

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.
