Ben Kweller(born June 16, 1981) is an American rockmusician and former lead singer of the 1990s band Radish, which was compared to Nirvanain Rolling Stone Magazine. The band grew in popularity in the Dallas, Texas music scene from its formation in 1993. However, the band was dismissed by critics as little more than an imitation of Nirvana with the novelty of an extremely young lead vocal-guitarist (Kweller was in his teens for the entire existence of the band). Nonetheless, Kweller and his two bandmates, bassist Bryan Blur and drummer John Kent, were signed to a major record label in 1995 by Mercury Records. Regardless of a much-hyped beginning, which included appearances on Conan O'Brien and David Letterman, Radish failed to strike big success with either its first record Dizzy or its sophomore effort Restraining Bolt.

Ben Kweller
I got a bad flavor
I got dirty clothes
I got a strange neighbor
Who doesnt have curtains on her windows
I got a pet hedgehog
Drinkin jaeger all day
You got me crate combo and a baby on the way
But its ok
Its gonna take a lot of time
Before I can cross that finish line
And when I cant take the fall
I really wanna make that call
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah
Thats my new best friend
Ann disasters her name
Were passin out on the carpet
And our attributes are the same
Its the slacker lifestyle
That we do so well
Bills are due on monday
Im oblivious, cant you tell
Its gonna take a lot of time
Before I can cross that finish line
And when I cant take the fall
I really wanna make that call
My brain is super-fried
It involves pain to look inside
Its gonna take a lot of time
Before I can cross that finish line
And when I cant take the fall
I really wanna make that call
