Can someone not be on the internet enough?...wait this wasn't what I was going to write about. The title does hold true though if you haven't heard Rebecca Blacks one and only song 'Friday'. By now most people have seen the original and quite possibly two or three parodies (my favourite being Stephen Colbert, Taylor Hicks, and Jimmy Fallon performing it together http://bit.ly/eKcemA ). The video has exploded and has surpassed Lady Gaga, the former queen of youtube music video hits.
People do not like the original though!
It has become the butt of jokes, facebook status, and water cooler talk, except how many of us really talk by a water cooler anyways. The songs lip synced, auto-tuned sound came off annoying at first, but over time I have begun to appreciate the song. Just like I appreciate Willow Smith, who enjoys whipping her hair back and forth.
The song isn't as awful as I once thought and at times I have found myself listening to it again and again. There is no god damn rational argument I can say in favour of the song, except that it sounds better than someone screaming and having their intestines pulled out of their mouth.
Where am I going with this you might ask? Don't worry I asked the same question and don't really have an answer. If I had to have a message I would say is to blast any annoying song you like loud and proud!!! Sing along and dance like a fool to it!!!....because someone has to enjoy it. Most of all, the money made from her song in particular is going to Japanese relief efforts. Help a child in Japan and listen to 'Friday' by Rebecca Black, you might even like it.
