Michael Jackson's song Ben

[Dustparticle]

 We think Ben by Michael Jackson was a good song? It probably was. But who was really Ben? http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1408

 

 Here are the lyrics: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/michael+jackson/ben_20092592.html

 

 Here is the last 2 minutes of the movie and Micheal Jackson name will pop up at 2:08 or 2:09

 

 

 

 Can you imagine singing a song to a killer rat and became a smash hit?

As Snoppy would say "Rats. Foiled Again"

We went to see this rat movie thriller (no pun intended) as a kid...and can never forgot the expression on Ernest Borgnine's face when the Rats turned on him.   

 

The song Ben was Jackson's first number #1 Solo hit

It was his first solo hit and it is about a rat.

You're right Sis...I was just a kid when we saw Willard and Ben at the theater.  Used to have nightmares of rats and couldn't even set on the toilet for too long...fear of rats coming up through the pipes!

I was in Chicago in the early 70's at Buckingham Fountain. There were rats everywhere. I had no problem with them.

I knew Ben was a rat. But don't start hating on rats. Those are my babies at work

I love rats and bats too. If not, I know who is going to get mad at me.

Very mad, if not

Even though the song is about a rat, I think it's the melody/music that made it a hit.  It really is a beautiful melody.

WHEW!!!!

I think a lot of younger ones don't know about Ben. Poor Ben.
