I spent most of earlier listening to Emeralds-esque stuff and the "synth doo DOO dado" makes this fit right in.

you guys the idea that this one hadn't reached bed-intruder saturation level by yesterday morning is hopelessly quaint

you guys in that 5x slowed one it's really, really worth hanging on 'til she gets to the chorus at about the four minute mark. Huge empty space suspension between "take" and "Friday" - and in the space, peeking through, it's God
whoa @ that moment
― lex pretend, Thursday, 17 March 2011 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Aero, if you're referring to my question about whether "Friday" will outrank "Bed Intruder" on the Hot 100, I think that's a slightly different issue. (Though I do now think it's inevitable.)

I wish I could adjust the tempo because the Busta a capella is just slightly off.

― zappi, Thursday, 17 March 2011 17:27 (thirteen years ago) link
You should do it - much as I like the one as it stands, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for in terms of a 'spiralling into insanity' chant. It only really works for me with Bieber.

I laffed a lot at this, thx.
This record is terrible to the point where I actually feel kind of sorry for the girl, I mean I guess she probably thought she was making a proper pop rekkid, maybe even dreamed of it being a hit? Now there are like 250,000+ people all calling her a moron. Poor kid. I guess if it got playlisted and became part of the autotune morass I hear on the radio when I'm out in the car, it's very shambolicness might actually make it stand out from the crowd. It would actually be hilarious if the thing was a hit, and you couldn't get away from it for like 4-6 weeks or something. Probably ark music factory or w/e they're called's only chance of continuing, they must be cursing all this meme-y shit, which rich parent is going to use them in future after this? They'll have to splash out some real $$$$ and hire Stargate. Also, bad as this is, I have heard worse in the last few years eg dolly rockers or "my humps".
― lycanthrope electrif (Pashmina), Thursday, 17 March 2011 17:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't get why people feel sorry for her. I'm guessing she's probably psyched about all the attention that she's getting and the fact that her crappy song probably will turn out to be a legitimate hit. She's probably making major career plans right now!
― Moodles, Thursday, 17 March 2011 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link
even as young as she is, she was waaaay more aware that her likeness was going to be beamed out to the internet for admiration or ridicule than the overwhelming majority of youtube superstars
― some dude, Thursday, 17 March 2011 17:34 (thirteen years ago) link
xp - Yeah but that's kind of unlikely to work out for her.

It's probably already worked out better than she expected. The rest is gravy.
― Moodles, Thursday, 17 March 2011 17:39 (thirteen years ago) link
i think what will bear her psyche up in these go-go days of meme overload is the thought that "there is something about me that seems to hook people, even if the song IS bad" and i don't think she'd be wrong

Am I the only one that sees a contemporary parallel to the whole song-poem "Beat of the Traps" MSR sort of pay someone to record your song scheme? I mean, clearly RB brought her own lyrics. Right? I hope?

That's it! I couldn't figure out what it reminded me of, other than the Swedish Chef. Someone really should replace "fun fun fun fun" with "bork bork bork bork."
