Indie rock piano man Ben Folds is readying his third solo album, titled 'Way to Normal.' The album's first single, 'Hiroshima,' is brought to stop-motion animated life in a video that features Folds living large with a go-go dancing Kewpie doll, among other bizarre images. "I laughed until I cried. It's not the way to normal, that's for sure," Folds told Spinner of the clip. Enjoy the new video exclusively on Spinner before the album's September 30 release date.

I love love love this song - but the video is not good.

I must say, speaking as a die-hard Ben Folds fan--seen him live 14 times (twice with the five)--I'm a bit disappointed with this new single. It's a bit catchy, I suppose, but musically it's horribly repetitive and bland. The lyrics arent bad, I guess--with Ben's good sense of humor--but I've just come to expect so much more from someone as incredibly talented as Ben. That said, I am a fan of "You Don't Know Me," his other new song that is available now on iTunes.
