Oh, I've heard it. And it's the worst/best thing ever.
In case you aren't familiar with this new classic, Rebecca Black is a wannabe teen pop star whose song, "Friday," has become a viral hit. (She was on Good Morning America today, which means your mom will be asking you who this "Rachel Brown" girl is any minute now.) Why has it become a hit? Because it is literally the worst song ever written. It's the kind of generic, awesomely bad teen pop that plays on a loop at Coldstone Creamery. And also in Hell. Everyone is watching just to make fun of it.
The video is so cheesy, it must be seen to be believed. Let's watch it right now...
Everyone should just stop making music right now. Pop culture as we know it can only go downhill from here. Every line is an instant classic. "Gotta have my bowl/gotta have cereal." "Partying Partying! Partying Partying!" "I got this, you got this, now you know it!" "FUN FUN FUN!" And was she seriously just listing the days of the week towards the end there? If nothing else, this song provides a helpful service for anyone who doesn't know what day comes after Friday.
Also, how fake did it look when they were all in the car? I've seen bar mitzvah videos with better production values.
Apparently the song comes from something called Ark Music Factory, a company which churns out terrible "Kidz Bop"-style songs in the hopes of finding the next Justin Bieber. (Check out a hilarious video of their totally real and not at all staged "official launch party.") It's pretty sad, really. All those untalented kids trying to be pop stars. Is this what the world has come to? Just like the rest of Ark's output, "Friday" is pure, calculated garbage, right down to the generic rap solo in the middle.
You know what? I changed my mind. "FRIDAY" IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN! DON'T BE HATIN'! It's officially my new end of the week jam. Sorry, "Working for the Weekend."

We we we we so excited.
Who is the dude at the end? :/
Thank you Nick, for a laugh & a smile, it was much needed. I only wish the hardest decision I made today was “which seat can I take?” Oh..., & it’s Friday! Where am I going to sit? :o)
What makes this more shocking is that she's like 13. What the weekend really holds for this girl is her crying cause at random she get's her "lady dot" for the first time (i mean she is 13). Her mother would then subsequently explain how Rebecca should be "so excited" to be a lady, as her friend-filled car (who can't drive cause they are also pubescent) watch on in horror. I mean it's FRIDAY for goodness sakes, they were not prepared to accommodate the bleeding fucking freak. They speed off in a fast fashion, and Rebecca begins to realize, Friday is (and should be) just another day - besides getting a break from school - when you are 13 years old.
Yeah, really. What parent allows their 13-year-old to ride to school alone with other kids? Why is a 13-year-old driving? Where are they all hanging out during the party scene? So many questions.
CG, you rock:) But please take back the last sentence!
She really does just list the days of the week...
I feel like the entire song is bad grammar, and a horrible conversation put into a tune... I hate to hate on the girl, but her voice is a bit annoying. But then again, so is Miley Cyrus..
Ummm my question is why did they put a rapper in this video who is way too old to be anywhere near that 13 year old? And who probably doesn't care if it's "friday, friday, friday."
Yeah. It seems like they just inserted him in from a completely different song.
Also, "FUN FUN FUN!"
Holy AutoTune! This better not get stuck in my head at any time, ever.
it's already there....
BWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Yesterday was Thursday...Today is Friday...Tomorrow is Saturday...and Sunday comes afterwor-or-ords...
It's like a car wreck...it's painful to watch yet I can't turn it off...
Thank you for making my Friday, Friday, Friday!!
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Cool, we're getting some questions that aren't stupid relationship problems. Not cool: that song. I am scarred for life, sir.
Oh my God. My ears will never forgive me. That was.. just.. I hope my son doesn't see this, he's 10 and is all about cute girls now - please God don't let him see this crap.
Haha just a warning, the first few times you hear this, you'll hate it....and then it will slowly start becoming addicting. Still horrible, but SO ADDICTING. The sad thing is that if her parents had spent that money on getting her some voice lessons, she could maybe be ALRIGHT. Ark just gave her a terrible song with a ridiculous video and some atrocious auto tuning. Maybe if she just sang normally it wouldn't be quite so painful. I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt since she's such a little kid, but still, that song was ridiculous. Also, in case you were wondering, Ark made about 10 more awful videos that you can find on YouTube =D
one involves drool...
Yep. I had that same reaction. And I've been driving my girlfriend crazy with it for days.
I highly recommend watching the other Ark videos.
Her voice.. Never heard anything more annoying. And they allowed her to sing? And they call "lyrics" the supidest sentences stuck together? Oh my gosh. Music industry IS going through a rough time right now..
Hahaha we found our new ROBIN SPARKLES!
hahahaha Let's go to the mall everybody!
