Yahoo won't let you forget 'Friday,' so neither will I


I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you have already had the pleasure of hearing rising star (tee hee) Rebecca Black’s smash youtube hit “Friday.” If you haven’t, listen now.


How does it make you feel? Angry? Helpless? Loss of faith in this planet? You know what have to say to you? You sir and/or Madame are a sour-puss. Yeah I said it. It has been widely dubbed the worst song ever made which is, completely unfair. The only way that could possibly true is if you’re one of those that like to pretend the 80s never happened.

They don’t like you forgetting. They still have their whips.

But anyway, this post is too late to simply bag on or praise “Friday” it’s what? Two weeks old? Maybe three? That’s old entertainment news in the internet world. . . . Unless you happen to be yahoo.com, who has posted almost as many articles about RB as they have on ‘how to not get your food pissed in when at a restaurant’ articles.

 You can’t see it, but one of their flies is actually down.
Yahoo has recently posted an article proving once and for all that, though we like to believe it, not everybody can sing as well Rebecca Black. Now I’m not saying that this means RB should be trying out for American Idol any time soon, but just take a listen to “Sunday” by some other girl and you will see what I mean.

 On the plus side the rap part is actually much better.

You know it’s bad when you can’t even hold a monotone using auto-tune because your voice cracks too much. I blame it on her age, her body's still not done growing. . . Actually it's definitely not done growing. But nonsense! She's just a girl, making a video for the fun of it. I can’t hate on a little girl singing about church for Christ’s sake!

I can just feel the innocence pouring from the song.
That’s what everyone else did on Rebecca Black. Why is she getting this label of worst song ever? She made a song, which the producers clearly said wouldn’t make her popular and now everybody has heard it. Why? Because people like it on some basic level or else it would just fade away into Internet oblivion like every shitty screamo cover of Katy Perry’s latest song. Her song is being played over and over again, if it was truly so incredibly terrible nobody would want to listen to it. Yet instead, we keep returning to it. 

And it’s all because Yahoo and company won’t let us forget! So I say screw it! Let’s make ‘Sunday’ a multi-million dollar song too. Heck, phone your radio stations and tell them to just play youtube songs from now on, that’s obviously what people are listening too now anyway. It's like a friend of mine (who's not a fan of pop music) said, if it weren't for the comment section, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and Miley Cyrus, Justin Beiber or Britney Spears. Ke$ha is the same style as RB anyway isn't she? Yes, yes she is.

On the plus side, yahoo shared this version which I thought was pretty good.
