Uncle Walter (song) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Uncle Walter (song)
"Uncle Walter" is a song from Ben Folds Five's 1995 self-titled debut album.〔(Amazon: ''Ben Folds Five'' )〕 It was written by Ben Folds.〔(BMI Repertoire Listing )〕 The song is about a young man left alone with the opinionated, possibly crazy, relative of his significant other. ==History== Uncle Walter is that relative who has soured with age. Opinionated when he was younger; vitriolic as he got older; now swathed in an air of righteousness and contempt without self-awareness or regard to repercussion, drowned in beer. The song of "Uncle Walter" recounts an afternoon or evening where a young man is left by his girlfriend or wife for an extended period of time to listen to the unrestrained rants of the eponymous relative on life and the ways of the world. The point of view of the song is from the young man dressing down his significant other after her return. Folds, Sledge, and Jessee were known to have fun during interviews and often give false, misleading or intentionally humorous answers to questions. True or not, Folds has said that Uncle Walter Charles Leahy, first cousin of songwriter (and Folds' former wife) Anna Goodman, corroborates this in a June 2006 interview:
