My Best Friend Plank

My Best Friend Plank is a uniquely moony and "retro" music video that was created by the Swedish animation company FilmTecknarna. It features the Ed, Edd n Eddy character, Plank, hence the song title. It originally premiered on Cartoon Network on July 5, 2002, during the night of the premiere of the two-part season 4 premiere episode, "If It Smells Like an Ed.". It often aired during commercial breaks in between shows.

Lyrics[]

I'm never bored when I'm with you
We're pals, we're buddies through and through
I wish I knew what to buy for you
On your birthday

Our friendship goes against the grain
I've seen you swell up in the rain
I saw you - didn't see your pain
Was it termites?

It's never hard to talk to you
Though you stump me with your silence
I feel so naughty pining here
For your happy face is guidance

My best friend Plank
My best friend Plank
My best friend Plank

Sitting there so silently
What could you be thinking?
You're not saying; I won't axe
Is that sealant that you're drinking?

Man your hammer, nailed you, pal
Al Gore's wife's name is "Tipper"
I knew we'd be best friends for life
When I saved you from that chipper

My best friend Plank
My best friend Plank
My best friend Plank

Ooo, Plank
Count the rings, count the rings
Ooo, Plank
Count the rings

I'd walk you on the seven seas
But sawdust always makes me wheeze
I met your mom and dad the trees
But please don't get Dutch elm disease

My best friend Plank
My best friend Plank
My best friend Plank
You're my best friend, Plank

This video premiered on Cartoon Network on the night of the premiere of the show's Season 4 premiere episode "If It Smells Like an Ed."
At one point in the song's video, a tree stump shows several real world events, people, and items.
