Ben Folds Five(1994-2000) was a three-member band formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who until their breakup in 2000 were a mainstay of piano rock. Much of their work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending. The members of the band were: Ben Folds, the lead singer and pianist, who also wrote most of the songs; Robert Sledgeon bass and Darren Jesseeon drums. The group enjoyed the success of the single Brickin 1998, a ballad written by Folds (with a chorus by Jessee) about his high school girlfriend getting an abortion. This song has, to a large degree, misrepresented the band to fans who aren't familiar with their other work; "Brick" is a serious ballad, whereas most of their music is characterised by jazz inflections and witty, humorous lyrics.

Cool Whip Lyrics
Ben Folds Five
Dont know much about birds and bees
About your cats and your mysterious appointments
Wondered where you coulda ducked outta sight
Deal with all your appointments
Hangin on your arm last night
Checking out, dont go checking out!
Cool whip, oh oh oh
That tops it off
We think you better cool it
Cool whip, oh oh oh
That tops it off
We think you better cool it down!
Seen it happen a hundred times
Its like a trap, or going off to jail
Remember ken and the girl who wrote the men?
Well she got fat, and now theyre living in a trailer
Your checking out, dont go checking out!
Cool whip, oh oh oh
That tops it off
We think you better cool it
Cool whip, oh oh oh
That tops it off
We think you better cool it down!
Got your pick of any girl in the world
I aint no sissy, but you could do much better
In brooklyn, Im the only one whos a mirror
No little girl is gonna tell me what to do!
You need to have your little fun with the boys
Out drinking on a friday,
Kick some ass and play some poker
Your sayin shit that dont sound too cool
Like lovey dovey hunny bunny
Give us all a break dude
Your checkin out
Cool whip, oh oh oh
Cool whip, oh oh oh
Cool whip, oh oh oh
Cool whip, oh oh oh
That tops it off
We think you better cool it down
