A good Ben Folds video is always worth a watch and this one is even more so as it features The Fraggles. Whilst they may inhabit a lonely third place in the list of “most famous Jim Henson shows” for people of a certain age the Fraggles are pretty much canned happiness. When I was two, I insisted my parents buy me a Red Fraggle to give to my newborn baby brother. The result was all the other babies in the ward crying because they couldn’t handle the Fraggleness.

The song’s a stonking bit of American indy-pop too. Just make sure you watch to the very end for a lovely little extra bit.
