Top 100 moments in Rebecca Black's "Friday" music video

LOL FUCK YEAH -- 2011 is the year of the amateur novelty hit! Me and My Puppy is a fucking jam!

this all sounds like a return to the 'song-poem' days of yore...

She's got this permanent look on her face like "oh no, I just wet my pants, hope nobody notices"

I like that she's donating the proceeds to Japan! Hope that's for real.

The song sounds better with this arrangement.

Wow - she's handling all this extremely well. This might sound ridic, or spell ~#TheEndOfMusic#~, but no meme has every received this much ongoing, propulsive celebrity... I really don't see her going away.

Leno was a way more gracious host than the sadists at Good Morning America.

Those Tonight Show total pros help the song a lot. Ark Music coming off chumps.

She's now officially my hero.

Also notably, teen internet sensation Rebecca Black enters the Hot 100 at No. 72 with "Friday." The song bows on Digital Songs at No. 57 with 37,000 downloads sold.

Radio, however, is so far largely avoiding playing Black's widely-panned track. While morning drive programs are discussing (and, thus, adding to) the song's buzz, it garnered just 12 plays in its entirety in the March 16-22 tracking week among the more than 1,200 stations monitored by BDS for the Radio Songs ranking.

People still listen to the radio?

People still make jokes about people still listening to the radio?

"bows" means "enters the charts"? jesus.

they use it like the theatre term (such-and-such play "bows on Broadway" with its debut performance)

oh jeez I finally watched this thing. Knowing the world's reaction in advance while watching all that naive optimism made it feel like Carrie and now I'm super bummed.

like i don't really mean anything serious by that, just had a gut level "don't do this!" feeling

same woman who wrote that awful piece for salon on odd future does "satire"

I really like Me and My Puppy.

A+ rap

She looks like Winnie from The Wonder Years. Was she called Winnie? The one Kevin was obsessed with who looks like Rebecca Black.

I don't know about Stateside, but in the UK, it is most definitely Friday.

rebecca black and FUN FUN FUN still trending on twitter - honestly didn't think it'd last this long

Anyone done a footwurk remix of 'Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun' yet? That would slay.

Charlie Brooker etc etc last night.

OK, my first, and final, unique opinion on this.

It's not brilliant, it's not total crap.

wow. that was worth saying... OK, here's a different perspective.

In a box...

It's fully, I've always known that everyone that writes sings, usually does a song about the days of the week at some point. (Just knowing that means I never did).

Someone I know had a lot of money put aside for their musical career and education. Before I met the dude, I saw this video, it was a 'funky lil number' about each day of the week, Monday, no fun day, etc. Kind of like Jamiroquais crossed with Lloyd Cole singing, if you can imagine that.

It was 'alright', but the second time I saw the vid I wa already 'bored' with the song. Which is not a great result....

Anyway, many years after we 'worked together' sort of, I saw that he was in the lower reaches of the chart, musical style much the same, although some of the lines were blatantly lifted from StereoMCs... Not my cuppa, but fair play he got there a little.

A few years later, he has a hit for The Tweenies, with the same song slightly rewritten. Oh dear.

And then, a few years after that, some award ceremony, I hear Will Young thanking him specifically for writing his latest chart topper.

So, the moral of this story is...

Um. carry on regardless, I guess...

pssh: my typing

It's funny, I've always known that everyone that writes songs, usually does a song about the days of the week at some point. (Just knowing that means I never did).

Carry on.

no way, that's operating on a way higher level of songcraft

well yeah, usually flimsy copies are more functionally retarded

Thanks, internet. Now I have "Gang Fight" stuck in my head.

"Gang Fight" rules!

i honestly thought this would be "over" within like a week but somehow views-wise and sales-wise this is STILL getting more popular, more popular than it has ever been right now

gang fight more catchy than friday, imo

<3 Gang Fight.

I played this for my kids (Bieber/Kesha fans) and they were merely bored with it. It's not even good to press their buttons and get them screaming "TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!" (like they do with "The Leanover" by Life Without Buildings). Disappointed, really.

Party hats party hats, yeah!

gang fight is completely legit

Ha, this is going to be like the viral "Avatar." Everyone gives it a listen, everyone either loves it or hates it, and then the next thing you know, it's grossed over a billion dollars.

(OK, no one loves the Black song, per se, but she is in 3-D!)

just needs the hypocrisy of fans of Jordy criticizing the tune and it's settled

Is that it?
