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

it's like Small Wonder hit puberty and made a song (note: haven't watched the video yet, too exposed at work)

KICKIN IN THE FRONT SEAT
KICKIN IN THE BACK SEAT

I still hold out hope that the rapper is saying "I BE REBECCA BLACK" because that would make just about as much sense as anything else in this song

J'Rose rockin the fake frown

omg dan if you haven't watched the video yet you have a TREAT ahead of you. seriously her charisma is something to behold

I can't wait for you to experience the full joy of the video DP

oh my God Dan you're seriously...no video yet? go home early, do what you have to do

The guest rapper looks like Gary Sheffield.

Discovered the video at 4 am with a bunch of my fellow students pulling an all-nighter in the library. Weekend-long ILX/internet break meant that our first exposure to it was on no sleep and very little sanity. Laughed so hard I cried. My brain is still singing it.

The rapper swaying along to the beat in the car at the end is an undersung moment.

Also, people who are the most "amazed" at the songwriting/performance of this song probably don't have kids/nephews/nieces and have been subjected to hours of Radio Disney, of which this would probably be a highpoint tbqh.

...or Frank Kogan^^^

so who wants to guess what late night show gets her first and whether it happens this Friday or next

Fallon would be all over this.

The part about how Sunday comes afterward is esp robot/vulcan

I would have gone home already but I am actually helping someone now

my lols will have to wait

There's a certain Phil Oakey quality to the lyrics too

surprised no one has intercut this with "WHIPPED CREAM POURING LIKE WATERFALLS" yet

So this is like some tween Rodd Keith song-poem shit?

the kid driving the car looks like my little brother

There's a certain Phil Oakey quality to the lyrics too

It'll be worth it.

as hideously lolful as this is, it's got nothing on that Mac Miller shit in the frat rap thread. they should duet together as the Sonny&Cher from Hell

totally pwns Pomplemoose, inspires thoughts of Friday Fun instead of suicide

I mean when it starts she looks like she's trying to make armpit fart noises and then it just falls apart. Even she doesn't appear to know what she's doing here.

hold on there's no way this rapper's name is actually Pato

KBP needs to be informed of this

The most compelling thing for me is the look of panic that intermittently flashes across her face, as if she realises the futility of her brief fame even before it happens.

Top PR work by Ark Entertainment though.

so were the other kids in the video actually her friends, or were they just paid to be her friends?

holy shit

OMG the gifs

i just feel sorry for her.

her daytime car friends look p overwhelmed by life, not incl. the enthusiastic backseat beckoner pictured above.

Its like a professional version of those insta-studios you can go to, karaoke it up in front of a greenscreen and then burn it to CD.

do you think she'd cry if she read this thread?

yes, but only because today is monday

45. That not only is Rebecca Black's school bus stop designated with a large, diamond-shaped yellow sign, like you would see for a curve in the road or a lane merge, it was 'shopped in for fear that we'd think she was just a LOSER loitering by herself on the sidewalk. Just in case we didn't hear her talking about the BUS TWICE in the lyrics.

guys i still have this stuck in my head

worse than even that, i think i'm beginning to like it.

i like how the lyrics expose the inherent mundanity of stream-of-consciousness, it's like...the brain in repose

Interview them all for a Guardian piece, Lex.
