Difference between Rats & Rats(Ben)?

Can someone please explain the difference?
Thanks
Thanks
A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
I've spent so many years in question
To find I'd known this all along.

That's a reference to the film called "Ben" about a boy and his pet rat. A funny side note is that this film is a sequel to "Willard" which was nominated for the Eddie award in Best Edited Feature Film at the 1972 American Cinema Editors Awards (Wikipedia rules).
The end of the song is "Ben the two of us need look no more", taken from the Michael Jackson song. Apparently, Jeff used to cry when he heard the song when he was young. He told Ed and Ed tagged that onto the end of Rats as a reference to it. I guess now Jacko has passed they are using the ending as more of a tag.
But doesn't Eddie usually sing the Ben line in Rats?
I guess I'll have to wait to hear the bootlegs.

ok- if that is true, I love jeff even more...that was the one tune I played over and over even though I had to sneak into my sister's room to get the album.
I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
I want to go but I want to go with you.

I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.
That's exactly what happened.....
never heard that before. I know ed said his first favorite band was the jackson 5, so i assumed that the Jacko reference was more b/c of ed...
Yeah he did at the O2 arena show in London - the same place where Jackson would have been in the middle of his residency when PJ played. Ed messed it up, but it was a touching tribute all the same, and the end 'Ben the two of us....' part was pretty powerful.
And the rest was exactly like the album
