What the **** is this goddamn ********?
See Franklin, it's not that he's creepy. It's that everyone who's not like him is secretly even pervier. His vice is actually virtue.
How can you not see that?

This has to be the single worse song I have ever heard. Worse than William Hung even. At least with his music you expect it to be crap so you can just laugh at it. This song transcends stupidity and moves into the realm of all that is wrong with society. I am sure someone out there thinks this is a great song. That alone tells you that our advances in medicine and laws protecting person and property will be responsible for the eventual downfall of the human race, since there is no way to keep their inferior chromosomes from entering the human gene pool and forever tainting it with idiocy and ineptitude which in a natural setting would ensure they would not procreate.
Yes we are eventually headed to this:

I read that because of this video she is being cyber-bullied and getting all sorts of hate mail. I am not defending the song (not my cup of tea), but I live in America where people have the freedom to watch something (and here's the important part) or not watch something. I don't get why people are all over her saying they wish she would slit her wrists and die. Was it because there wasn't any nudity/profanity/vulgarity in the song? The part I saw looked like kids having some clean fun. If you don't like it, then don't watch it, let alone ask her to commit suicide because you didn't like it. What separates those who are attacking this girl from the bully who went after Casey "Defender of the Bullied"?

When you post a video of yourself on the internet to the world to see, you subject yourself to being 'cyber-bullied' - thats the way the internet works. Threatening her is against the law, and people crazy enough to go to those lengths should be subjected to whatever consequences go with harassment. It's a simple issue of responsibility. Don't want to possibly be made fun of by anonymous people on the internet? Don't post a music video of yourself. I don't know who Casey the defender is but I'm sure whatever parallel you're trying to make is way off base.
I think its wildly humorous that this girl, and most likely her parents more-so than her, hoped for fame beyond their wildest dreams when they made the video. They got it alright. LOL!!!
If anyone should be getting harassed it's the brother who sold his soul for the couple hundred bucks he got to make this.

Rebecca Black's magnum opus 'Friday' is a virtuosic study of the divertissemental aspect of the fifth day of the week (as it's allegorical title suggests) Friday; both it's necessity, and it's implications on human nature.
Inspired by the prose of Dostoevsky and the existentialist approach of Camus, Black gives us a running commentary on the way in which human society has developed into subsisting on repetitive chores; the obligatory reveille at '7 am', 'waking up in the morning' and having 'cereal' (clearly a reference to how we, like breakfast cereal, pale to existence in our society when conforming to such mundane activities).
Black opts for a technically prolific major keyed melody accompanied with a highly complex underlying 'oom oom cha oom' drum-line, deliberately contrasting with the mundanity of the activities expressed in the opening lyrics; hinting at the idea that maybe there is an escape from this Hobbesian-esque society, maybe there is a way to unlatch the chains of bourgeois oppression.
This disguised concept is fully explored towards the end of the first stanza (to refer to these poetic, epigrammatic lines as simply verses would be obscene) and indeed throughout the rest of this masterpiece as Black delves our conforming minds into the radically exhilarating existentialist world; what's this? 'my friends' are here? I don't have to 'catch my bus' to intrinsic tedium? indeed, Black suggests that this is the case.
Many critics of Black have suggested different interpretations of what is meant by our savior by our 'friends'; direct realists have claimed these 'friends' to be amiable companions in the literal sense, indicating that 'happiness is only real when shared'. Others have refuted this, resorting to the more symbolic approach, regarding the 'friends' as representative of what makes us human; our strife to be independent, or to reach eudamonia, as the Greeks put it.
The remainder of the piece forms an exultant proclamation of the human spirit; we can create change at will, and we shall; every Friday. We will 'kick' in the back seat, or should we feel like it, 'sit' in the front seat; we are masters of our own destiny, and we will no longer listen to you.
The stanzas after this consist of writing depth beyond the scope of Milton himself, and to view further analysis of these, please refer to Walter Benjamin's in depth study of this master-work, as I am certainly not qualified to do so. What I will parle is this my friends; Black has taught us a fundamental lesson about our innate capabilities as humans here. We cannot take our capacity to be free and 'party' for granted. We must 'scream', because 'we gonna have fun'. After all, it is 'Friday'.

"Funny thing about the weekends when you're unemployed, they don't mean quite so much. Except you get to hang out with your working friends."

I didn't think it was that bad at all, and at least the video made sense and followed the lyrics - on most music videos, the video portion makes no sense. And it's certainly not the worst I've ever heard. Much better than much of the "bubble gum" pop stuff from the 60's - 70's like this one:

by the way, TODAY is TWITTER'S 5th birthday...
I am so grateful none of this digital media crap was around when I was in junior high 'cause I know there would be a lot of goofy stuff posted that I'd never be able to live down...
