Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me 

So I've been listening to this song for the longest time and I finally decided to watch the video and this is what I get. Tim and Eric. of course.

This video came out at a time when I had a pretty heavy obsession with Regina Spektor, Ben Folds, and Tim and Eric all at once so this video felt like the greatest personal gift ever

AHEAD OF ITS TIME

The song alone captures the bitterness of growing resent in a relationship really well. But I love how the music video takes it and turns it into a silly mockery of the dances we do and shows the two swapping places--stepping into each others shoes--and finding that love underneath it all. Also, as someone who is T4T, seeing the two happier after swapping presentations is making me emotional lol

I was listening to this song and thinking "man, this feels like a Regina Spektor song", and then she started singing. Well then.

THE REAL GEM HERE IS THE FACT THAT JOSH GROBAN JUST POPS IN FOR LIKE A ONE SECOND FRAME TOWARDS THE END

regina's voice = pure amazingness. MORE PLEASE!

Regina is still magic in the bridge, it gives me chills. The changes are solid, rhythmic shift, and the harmonies are are still rare.

DAMN THIS SONG HIT DIFFERENT WHEN IT REMIND YOU OF YOUR PARENTS’ CRUMBLING RELATIONSHIP

This music video is incredibly appropriate for the song. Thank god for Tim and Eric.

Seeing Ben play this in Virginia Beach last night and having the crowd sing the Regina parts was magical.

I love this song. It’s about how you can never truly know someone (even in the most intimate of long term relationships between couples) and that’s part of the reason for attraction in the first place, because attraction stems from our desire to want to get to know someone. It’s the act of learning about someone that is the attractive part, it’s not the knowing everything there is to know about them, it’s the learning those things little by little that we want.

What an amazing song. This is why I love Ben Folds. He was a huge influence in my life in 1997 and 16 years later he's still Rockin the Suburbs and my life.

this song has ended up on all of my pandora stations for the past 3 years

Went to Ben's concert in Iowa a few months back, and the audience sang Regina's part on this song. So much fun

Hella thankful for artists like Regina Spektor and Ben Folds for helping a weird and sentimental kid like me develop into an ever-weirder and ever-more-sentimental adult, hahaha 💜✨

the collaboration of voices of ben folds and regina spektor is amazing

Even after 10 years this song is great

This song just has such a lovely melody to it. Regina and Ben should sing more songs together.

is that fucking Tim and Eric

Thumb up if you knew this song existed before the nationwide commercial

"Hello?" "Hey Josh, it's Ben." "Oh hey Ben, what's up?" "Eh, not too much. Listen, would you like to sing and make a couple of faces for a few seconds for a Tim and Eric video I'm doing?" "Yeah sure man, that sounds fun."

I still listen to this religiously

This song has literally been on my mind since November. It's been years since I heard it, and I feel so satisfied knowing what it's called. Sucks when the only thing you can't remember is the lyrics.

Oh Ben... I love you so much. I yelled it at you after the show in San Diego a few years ago.

I didn't know that Ben Folds and Regina Spektor teamed up!!! I'm in love with this song!

The first line is what made me fall in love with this song. And now I'll love it forever

Can't believe Over The Edge showed me this guy

I used to watch this video as a kid all the time as my dad was a HUGE Ben Folds fan. I’m rewatching for the first time since I was about 12 and I JUST FUCKING REALIZED THE COUPLE IS MY FAVORITE PAIR OF COMEDIANS

If you remember this in 08-09... it will come full circle, it will eventually apply to life.

11 years later and this song is still awesome.

The best representation of projecting onto someone ever

OH MY GOD NATIONWIDE THANK YOU OMGOMGOMG I WAS GOING CRAZY OVER TRYING TO FIND OUT IT

i'm glad that this ben folds song is being used in a commercial. good for him.

Wonderful song , wonderful video.

The greenscreen work tho XD

*D I R T Y V E R S I O N*

What I don't get is how so many of Ben Folds amazing songs have less than a million views, yet so many terrible artists do. Love you Ben, your music is amazing! You've inspired me since a kid and I still love your music now!

I love finding Ben Folds on a Bobs Burgers playlist!! Makes me happy.

Its 2019. How did I not know there was a Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, Tim and Eric mashup?? This is beautiful.

Holy shit, Ben Folds and Tim and Eric. Where has this been all my life!??

when she said "Mmmm, ohh oh Ah ah ah ah ah Aha ah ah ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Aha ah Ah ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh oh ohh" that really hit different

I predict that this song will resurface in 2023 Edit: maybe some other time.

Ben folds is special to me! When I was a teenager I played bass and my close friend played piano, you know the rest.

Thank you nationwide i totally forgot about this song !!!!

I don't even know how I came across this song but I never hear it anywhere else and it's such a banger.

Thank you RU-vid for popping this beauty into my recommendations and reminding me it exists

I wanna ask you - Do you ever sit and wonder, It's so strange That we could be together for So long, and never know, never care What goes on in the other one's head? Things I've felt but I've never said You said things that I never said So I'll say something that I should have said long ago: (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (at all) You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me) Any face that you wanted me To be seen. We're Damned by the existential moment where We saw the couple in the coma and It was we were the cliche, But we carried on anyway. So, sure, I could just close my eyes. Yeah, sure, trace and memorize, But can you go back once you know (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (at all) (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (You don't know me) You don't know me If I'm the person that you think I am (Ah ah ahh) Clueless chump you seem to think I am (Ah ah ahhh) So easily led astray, An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then Why the fuck would you want me back?! Maybe it's because (You don't know me at all) Ahhh ah Ahhh ah (You don't know me, you don't know me.) Ahhh ah Ahhh ah So, what I'm trying to say is What (What?) I'm trying to tell you It's not gonna come out like I wanna say it cause I know you'll only change it. (Say it.) (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (at all) (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (You don't know me) You don't know me at all (at all) What? (Mmmm, ohh oh Ah ah ah ah ah Aha ah ah ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Aha ah Ah ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh oh ohh)

What's not to love about this? Everything. I love everything. x

Regina ❤

Thank you Nationwide for bringing Ben Folds to the masses. Ben Folds is amazinnngggg!

My all time favorite music video. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it.

I've had this song stuck in my head for the past 3 days I love it

Regina's voice is how I imagine how an angel would sound.

Sometimes, I feel sad, but then I remember that Tim and Eric are friends with Josh Groban, and I feel better.

why am i still obsessed with this

This song is so relatable and catchy!

I love this song but I had somehow forgotten this video existed 😵

this song is pure gold

This video is hilarious. I love the close-ups of the people twitching. XD

I've been looking for this song for ever

Nationwide doesn't know me

This song has been one of my favourites for a long time💗💗

I think Ben folds is one of the greatest singers.

Eric fluffing that pillow kills me every single time.

Thank you Nationwide for reminding me of this song

I’ve been a fan of Ben since ‘97. Now that I’m older, I bet it’s almost impossible to carry on a relationship with him. It’s only a matter of time before he writes a song about how awful it is being with you. 😂

I want to cry. I was going through my photos and screenshots from 2 and 3 years ago, and I found a screenshot of a Shazam search for this song. I guess I'd heard it and liked it so I wanted to save it, but I never did. Now I'm getting into Ben's music (and also Regina's somewhat) and it turns out I could be deeper if I'd given it more of a chance, lol.😂😂😂

this man is an incredible lyricist and singer

that moment when tim and eric make you cry.

Only just realised that its Tim and Eric in this video!!

to me it's about sexual dysfunction between two people who get along in many ways, over years. communication breaks down, intimacy weakens instead of grows, as one reaches outside the relationship for comfort. our hero points out the dynamic/communication was toxic, and admits a lot of weakness, but inevitably comes to peace by accepting their independence.

I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS 9 TIMES ALONE TODAY!

The greatest piano player of the last many decades. I still haven't seen him live. My friend saw him a year or so ago and was blown away by the experience. I am not surprised. I look forward to that experience one day. PS: I know this song is not an example of his great piano playing. LOL!

Funny? Tonight my gf and I got in a fight, which is rare. It broke my heart, and I retreated to this video. Only now I realize that regina spektor is the female vocalist in this song, and my gf is her biggest fan. She blasts her music ad nauseam. Tim and Eric are my heroes, and Ben folds? Eh. I like him pretty good. Anyway, she and I ended the night loving each other, and I can’t wait to show her the common link I found between us in the morning.

For such a long time i could remember the rhythm but I could not fucking think of the song, thank you nationwide

Oh my god. This makes me overwhelmingly happy lol. This song is simply perfect. I will be sure to cover this with someone :)

Oh this duet is so beautiful.

BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG. THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD

Such a great song. I have battered the replay button. :)

So. I was in C town when Sufjan and Ben actually had the same concert time. It was a FFsake moment for me. I did get a Ben T-shirt, though I chose Sufjan. Best of both worlds I guess.

The feature of Regina Spektor makes this song 10000x better in my opinion.

Being stuck in a marriage with someone that you've grown so distant from that you feel like complete strangers. Thank you, Ben Folds, for my new recurring nightmare.

Regina is forever my favorite

This is... actually kinda depressing...

When I heard it on the commercial, I like threw my book, and started freaking out and singing. Then I realized the commercial was off, and they didn't sing. And I also remembered this song from the seventh grade.

Jon Cozart and Pomplamoose led me here!

I don’t know where I heard this from but I just randomly thought of it and had to find what song it was and now that I did I’m glad, this song is so good 😊

I first heard this song in ‘09 on the radio with my dad. Will never forget that day

I normally hate this type of music but this is rlly good-

The day you revisit the music video for great song by your favorite artist and realize that your favorite show for six months now has invaded>> Tim and Eric rule all

I'm so glad I was able to find this song I heard it on the radio coming home from Joann's haha

Sometimes great works of art come across as jovial...this is a masterpiece :-)
