"Ben" is the theme song from a horror movie. About a *killer RAT.*

But in the UK will forever be associated with a toddler who died of liver disease and sparked a brief upsurge in organ donors. It was his favourite song.

And this came into the conversation because....?

Apparently Ben the rat was friendly to the boy in the movie-- can't say I saw it, but that song did get a lot of airplay back in 1972, when I was in junior high and Michael Jackson was still black.

I was watching with a whole group of under-30s - they don't have that association.

(I'm at just the right age that "Bad" has been forever tainted for me by Weird Al. I see the wrong video in my head...)

I've never liked the song. Not back in the day, not last night. But I heard other songs that were new.

It was the only time I set my DVR for Glee!
