Ben Folds considers the impact of bloggers' opinions in his song, "Working Day," on his new CD, Lonely Avenue. The song was co-written; Folds wrote the music and Nick Hornby wrote the lyrics. See the lyrics below:
I can do this, really, I'm good enough
I'm as good as them, but don't take it from me
Ask my friends, ask my sister
They all think my stuff is great
Up there with any of them
I just need a break
I'm a genius, really, I'm excellent
Better than them, I kick their asses
All of them, even that guy
Who thinks he's fuckin' cool
Gets all of the attention
He doesn't sell shit does he
Some guy on the net thinks I suck and he should know
He's got his own blog
I'm a loser
I'm a poser
Yeah really
It's over
I mean it and I quit
Everything I write is shit
Hey, hey
It's a working day
Hey, hey
