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

wau her family owns the Air Force Academy

generally speaking, most people say "my uncle" or "my grandfather" if they mean someone in the extended family

True. But I can imagine someone like Paris Hilton saying "my family" to refer to the Hilton Empire.

xpost -- Those chinchillas REALLY need urgent care.

Back a few posts -- no indeed, it wasn't a gamble at all, it was this indulgence combined with a 'why not?' approach -- like Dan said, she's "someone who was trying out something she really wanted to pursue." When I was 13, it was 1984 and videos and pop were the center of EVERYTHING for me and I can't imagine that this is any less so for her in a different context. Had I been someone in that circumstance and I had enough talent to do a little something and reasonable self-confidence to go with it, parents who were both indulgent and a little practical as well who had been approached by this bunch of, indeed, cost-effective hacks who make a business out of such a vanity-press approach, I would have gone for it.

xxxxp Huh, public humiliation and psychiatric commitment turn out to be a great weight loss program for SW kid!

It's possible that it's Sioux Falls instead of Colorado Springs. She tweeted @VederaMusic on May 23, 2010.

Here are VederaMusic's tweets from that day:

OH WAIT, I just noticed that RB's May 23 tweet has a 1:12 AM timestamp, so it's almost definitely Sioux Falls.

(Though I'm not sure how Twitter timestamps work -- is it local time or my time?)

has rebecca met zack yet?

Things that just have to be Tim and Eric skits

has anyone done a YouTube with the song set to clips from the Ice Cube movie Friday yet? the possibilities for "gotta have my bowl/ gotta have cereal" alone are endless.

yes they have

so they have!

disappointed they slept on the potential for "bowl" double entendres though

and another:

Now that Zack thing I can totally imagine he wrote, though idk abt the video

"gotta get fresh" w/ Johnny Witherspoon on the toilet spraying air freshener is pretty inspired

running errands w/ my dad today (fun fun fun fun), tho he got all weirded out when I chose to sit in the back seat.

okay now I want to go watch Friday again

^ Always the right attitude

:D

surely ARK will now start charging a heck of a lot more for their services?!

"as seen on TV"

what's the deal with pato? (might be discussed about the skip)

He's an excellent rapper/He looks like Usher

More than anything, this song needs the Peter Sellers/Spike Milligan (or whoever the other Goon was) spoken dialogue treatment they did for "She Loves You."

super impressed by this girl.

morning radio was playing clips from her abc (?) interview, and i just couldn't listen

I would love to hear some awkward Pato verses on every established pop single going forward. At $2000 a pop they should be lining up down the block.

ar-ar-ara-ark only joined fbook this week. suspect?

you just know somewhere Pato Banton is really pissed off he didn't get the call for the videoshoot

Chris Brown explains nude photo, weighs in on Rebecca Black
Pelican stuck in tree

lololol

Are those related? "Yeah, I've got this nude photo out, whatevers. And that Rebecca Black song is pretty good; I'm listening to it right now! Let's see, what else is going on with me...oh, my pelican is stuck in a tree. That kind of sucks."

Gotta say, this song has a lot more resonance for me now that it's Friday.

you know what it is

Now that Zack thing I can totally imagine he wrote, though idk abt the video

Zack's dad wrote the music and directed the video (there is a credits sequence at the end).

there is a decidedly dope (...) rap in that as well if you didn't watch it all the way through ("they shut down the factory/when they invented Zachary")

NOW IT'S BENJAMIN P AND HE'S RAPPIN' 'BOUT ME

no less than 5 of my fb friends made some reference to this video in their statuses today

fucktyler: "This Little Bitch Is Tight! Friday Friday"

I'm happy today.

idk if a family feels they can blow 2k on a what is essentially a vanity music video instead of on, idk a SAT tutoring class or something,

lol fuck an sat tutoring class, get outta here with that shit!

i did horribly on my SATs and my life turned out okay.

also isn't she 13? she won't be taking the SAT for like 5 years

honestly, if you've been to a few bar mitzvahs, you'd realize that a family blowing 2k on a vanity music video for a 13 year old really isn't all that crazy

i didn't have a bat mitzvah. but i did have a college education, and no loans to pay back.

imo ilx should do one of its occasional whip-rounds and get something popping with ark

(my parents have a little money, but they would have never shelled out for something like this. even if it's not *that* expensive.)

i'm not justifying the existence of the video -- all of us made it thru teenage life just fine w/o our own music videos -- but parents can be much crazier
