Rebecca Blacks Song 'Friday'

Well happy Sunday to you all, i trust you are having a pleasant day?  Good stuff, then let's begin...

Haha so i just heard Rebecca Blacks song 'Friday' for the first time - ok so it's not got the most profound lyrics: 'Saturday is the day after Friday', and then a bit later 'Sunday is the day after Saturday' although that being said it could be really good for children who are learning the days of the week...they could just play that section over and over again to get them to learn some stuff...but they'd probably need to add some more lyrics about the other days of the week, so that those days didn't feel left out.  And so that the children can know about the other days too...

Also, i wasn't expecting the AWESOME breakdown rap towards the end of the song, sweeet!  I quite like surprise raps that just come out of nowhere, great stuff.  I also quite like that she doesn't think that she's anything she isn't.  I don't mean like a strange wild animal or something...well i HOPE she doesn't think she's a strange wild animal, like a Rebecca Black Mamba or a Rebeccasaurus (or even, a 'Tyrannosaurus Bex')!  Raar!  But more to the point what i mean is she doesn't think she's the world's best singer, so that's kinda cool, she's not under any false pre-tenses.  So I say well done to you Rebecca, for helping to teach children about (some of) the days of the week, for writing a song that's become quite successful and also, for not thinking you are a strange wild animal.  Hats off to you :-)

Peace out friends, and have a lovely Sunday.

  1. Regardless of how bad the song is the numbers speak for themselves:
    - $2000, the money spent to record and produce the song and video
    - 3, the number of consecutive days she has now been worldwide top trending topic on Twitter
    - 29 million, the number of views she has had on Youtube.
    - 19, the position she reached in the iTunes charts.

    Not to mention endorsement from Simon Cowell and plenty of TV appearances.

    Whether we like it or not chances are that she is here to stay at least for a while, presumably until after her first album has been milked as much as possible.

    I say good on her for living the dream.
