The Ben at the end of the song is in reference to the song Ben by Michael Jackson for the movie of the same name. In the movie, a young boy befriends the rat Ben, but then the rat turns evil and recruits other rats to attack people.

actually, i think it refers to Ben the rat in the story Ratman's Notebooks, which became a movie in the 70s called Willard, now redone as a new movie more recently. The man befriends Ben and Socrates, 2 rats, and he gets payback from all the people that treated him bad with his legion of rats that will do what he says.

the "ben" lyrics are referencing Michael Jackson's song "Ben" which references the "Williard" movie, so technically you're both right on that one :)

Read the lyrics synically (sarcastically), then they'll make sense...
