Three Bens, one song and a lot of instrument-swapping: "Just Pretend" comes off The Bens, the 2003 EP that teamed Ben Folds, Ben Kweller and Ben Lee. All three wrote it, all three produced it, and all three sing lead, passing the tune around the way they pass the gear.
Folds plays piano and synthesizer and takes turns on bass, drums and guitar; Kweller splits the drums and guitar with him, and Lee handles bass and guitar. Marc Chevalier engineered. It's a round-robin of a record, and the pleasure is in hearing three voices trade a song without anybody grabbing the wheel.
