About This Track

“Effington” was originally as an impromptu song Ben Folds performed on April 2, 2007, at Braden Auditorium, which is on the campus of Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. It was introduced to the crowd as “Mother-effing Effingham.” Though most of the final product is not what was performed that night, some of the original still remains.

    I must be in the minority for liking the album version better? The acapella one threw me off...

    hammer, you played it at your dad's funeral! that is so cool and sad and touching and amazing all at once. i haven't let my son hear this one yet. he's 12 and he will sing it over and over in school... it's awesome, but not school appropriate. i think it is the only song on the album i've heard so far that i like.
