She didn't sing, "Dawnser's lee light," so that's good.

really the most lolsome thing about the acoustic version is the fact that she's singing a tender guitar/piano ballad about being confused by car seats

this is much more lolworthy/memeworthy than "Chocolate Rain"

This works surprisingly well if you lower the volume on Rebecca Black (which I know many people want to do anyway)...

every time people make fun of the seat thing i want to mount a half-hearted defense about how the lyrics were clearly supposed to refer to choosing among which of many seats in the bus, and which group of friends to sit with (which is admittedly still kind of dumb but less bizarre), and then the video totally changed the context of the line to a car with one empty seat, but it's not really worth it, is it.
― some dude, Friday, 18 March 2011 21:06 (fifteen years ago)
sure looks like a slammin party in the video, what with everybody gathered around watching Rebecca sing and nobody with any drinks or food in hand

i mean couldn't whoevers mom it was have sprung for some Ecto Cooler
xp idk though because then the whole song would be "hell yeah it's friday, and after we arrive at school and make our way through a seven-hour school day we're are TOTALLY going to party!"

but the lyrics are:
kickin' in the front seatsittin' in the back seatcan't make my mind upwhich seat should I take?
... so she's already seated in the back, kicking the front seat, and she still isn't sure where to sit...?
also re: the video screwing up the song, I love LOVE "my friend on the right"
― ancient, but very sexy (DJP), Friday, 18 March 2011 21:09 (fifteen years ago)
(I will grant that maybe they butchered the slang term "kickin' it" in a rare attempt to make the lyrics scan)
I thought it was like her friends are kicking it in the front seat
lol xp

11. there's this moment around 2:53 that makes me feel like Kristen Bell and NatPo fucked and then had a baby and that baby grew up and then fucked the Bird Lady from KitH and then that baby reached adolescence, and then made this music video.
this is still making me lose my shit btw

I genuinely like "Chocolate Rain"
It reminds me of things I wrote when I was in high school

(admittedly I only like it in 45 second chunks)
even though the lateral mic breathe thing was a beloved trademark, an artist is like a shark he has to keep moving or he'll die

I barely even remember why I found this funny, now it just seems like an awkward but damn catchy song. The only bit that still brings it reliably is when Pato shows up.

i thought she was weighing her options like "kickin' in the front seat seems fun, but hey, sittin' in the back seat has its upsides as well!"
― some dude, Friday, 18 March 2011 21:23 (fifteen years ago)
Whether she can sing or not is irrelevant.. she's been immortalized as an autotune singer. Millions of people now associate her voice with how it specifically sounds in this song and for better or worse nothing will change that.

wait i'm pretty sure the tweet about the airport came from a fake rebecca black twitter, yes? (i am assuming _RebeccaBlack_ is fake)

Also the video lies.. in the song she's supposed to be choosing her seat on the schoolbus, but in the video they used a car because they couldn't find a schoolbus for the videoshoot.
― billstevejim, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:09 (fifteen years ago)
And yes it really did take me all week to figure that out..
― billstevejim, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:12 (fifteen years ago)
What's more fun: kickin' or sittin'? I feel like the front seat is the obvious call.
― dlp9001, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:38 (fifteen years ago)

Rebecca Black otm! Her sentence construction leads me to believe that she could do a much better job writing her own lyrics than the Ark hacks.
also, she should cover Big Fun (Big Fun Fun Fun Fun?)
