unbelievable!
which reminds me when i was a boy one of my fav tv shows was double dare - oh man i used to sit there thinking of how i would crush that obstacle course - anyway the girl contestants when asked abt their hobbies would typically include writing pop songs - i remember not really understanding wtf they were talking abt - like im sure i knew what a pop song was, maybe i didnt realize that someone had to write them, or maybe i just couldnt imagine little girls writing them, or what theyd do w/them - not sure that any of them actually did write pop songs or what particularly that meant in context or if it was just a cool thing to say on double dare or w/e - anyway friday is a song by a double dare contestant basically

yeah if an actual 13-year-old girl wrote this it might well still be bad but it would be bad in a v. different way.

Patrice Wilson = Pato i assume?
― some dude, Wednesday, 16 March 2011 16:46 (thirteen years ago) link
i assumed the ark wrote it because i assumed that footage of pato had been shot months earlier and plugged in

Right but are 13 year olds really THAT vapid?
If my niece's FB page is any indication the answer is "Yes, but more so."

Like the 13 year old me writing a song would have at least talked about DOING SOMETHING on the weekend, like dying your hair blue or going to Hot Topic or pinning a Fugazi patch on your hoodie or something

"13-yr-old girls to be exact. they kind of weird me out w/r/t r.black b/c she's not remotely sexualised"
yeah, lots of projection going on. but maybe everything is so sexualized now that people see it everywhere no matter what. like when people were talking about that other video and saying OMG creepy abandoned house who are these perv music company people! and it IS kind of a weird scene, but on the other hand, little kids explore outside all the time! and go into weird abandoned buildings and stuff. so, really, its kinda cute or something? interesting how people read these things though.

well, in her case a NeverShoutNever bracelet instead of a Fugazi patch

I mean, 13 year old girls do not party on the weekends, okay? They just don't.
― Sheneneh et Caro (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 16 March 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't think a 13 year old would write that.

you're hanging out with some lame 13-year-old girls, dude
― brigitte beardo (donna rouge), Wednesday, 16 March 2011 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
It's just this laughably generic and meaningless idea of what a "fun time" is supposed to be, without any sort of real thought or substance.

Why do you hate partying?

I feel like rich 13 year olds probably have more 'parties' than not rich 13 year olds

It doesn't make sense, it's like if I wrote a song about how excited I was move to Florida and retire and work on my Precious Moments collection.

they want to party, because they have heard partying is cool thing to do in a song
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 16 March 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link
um, I remember 13-year-old girls partying quite a lot back in the day
I also remember a startlingly high number of teen pregnancies starting around age 15
FUN FUN FUN FUN

So Friday is #69 on US iTunes - I'm surprised that anyone has bought this, but do we have any idea what kind of sales this would translate to?

But my whole point is that it isn't even "they"! It's two guys' idea of "they"

i'm guessing this song's chart ascent will be so widely reported that it's just a matter of time til we get exact sales figures

Will it chart higher on the Hot 100 than "Bed Intruder"?
