Friday (Rebecca Black) by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson

It's wild how Friday has hit the American music and meme scene like a tsunami. Even Stephen Colbert jumped on the Rebecca Black volkswagon:

The song's spawned satirical analyses:

and even a PSA or two:

This thread's for you to vent how you feel about the composition and the video, to post your favorite related media, to discuss how/why she became an overnight media sensation, or to discuss any other related topics.

Ok, well I actually think Rebecca almost redeemed herself with that PSA. Probably much more effective than most don't drive underaged PSA's. THough again I will not credit her for the original idea - it came form one of the parodies - do not let your 13 year old drive or sing.

Oh God, that .gif image had me in tears from laughter. WOW. Who would think to do something like that?

But this is still my favorite parody of it, ever. (It's the one composer organist is talking about.)

It really shouldn't be that funny, but this guy just nails it.

I also agree with ComposerOrganist that the PSA was great. But it's a shame she kind of spoiled it by obviously reading from a sign at the very end of it instead of addressing the camera. Still, at least she's in on the massive joke that is "Friday".

"My hand is a dolphin!"

"My hand is a dolphin!"

That's my favorite line too! Yeah I have nothing against Rebecca Black. Like you said, at least she's in on the joke.

She has a new single and video. Is it as bad as this one? I'm afraid to go look.

:o

I'm afraid...
