I have never heard "Running From The Concrete" before

this is much more lolworthy/memeworthy than "Chocolate Rain"

the next We are the World needs to feature all internet meme artists...Chocolate Rain, Chris Crocker, Rebecca Black, et al..

This works surprisingly well if you lower the volume on Rebecca Black (which I know many people want to do anyway)...

every time people make fun of the seat thing i want to mount a half-hearted defense about how the lyrics were clearly supposed to refer to choosing among which of many seats in the bus, and which group of friends to sit with (which is admittedly still kind of dumb but less bizarre), and then the video totally changed the context of the line to a car with one empty seat, but it's not really worth it, is it.

some dude, Friday, 18 March 2011 21:06 (thirteen years ago) link

sure looks like a slammin party in the video, what with everybody gathered around watching Rebecca sing and nobody with any drinks or food in hand

xp idk though because then the whole song would be "hell yeah it's friday, and after we arrive at school and make our way through a seven-hour school day we're are TOTALLY going to party!"

but the lyrics are:

kickin' in the front seat
sittin' in the back seat
can't make my mind up
which seat should I take?

... so she's already seated in the back, kicking the front seat, and she still isn't sure where to sit...?

also re: the video screwing up the song, I love LOVE "my friend on the right"

ancient, but very sexy (DJP), Friday, 18 March 2011 21:09 (thirteen years ago) link

(I will grant that maybe they butchered the slang term "kickin' it" in a rare attempt to make the lyrics scan)

ancient, but very sexy (DJP), Friday, 18 March 2011 21:09 (thirteen years ago) link

I thought it was like her friends are kicking it in the front seat

lol xp

Rebecca singing that "we so excited", "we gon have a good time" almost sounds like someone who learned english phonetically

11. there's this moment around 2:53 that makes me feel like Kristen Bell and NatPo fucked and then had a baby and that baby grew up and then fucked the Bird Lady from KitH and then that baby reached adolescence, and then made this music video.

this is still making me lose my shit btw

I genuinely like "Chocolate Rain"

It reminds me of things I wrote when I was in high school

ancient, but very sexy (DJP), Friday, 18 March 2011 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link

(admittedly I only like it in 45 second chunks)

ancient, but very sexy (DJP), Friday, 18 March 2011 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link

even though the lateral mic breathe thing was a beloved trademark, an artist is like a shark he has to keep moving or he'll die

he could have switched it up and leaned back, or ducked

I barely even remember why I found this funny, now it just seems like an awkward but damn catchy song. The only bit that still brings it reliably is when Pato shows up.

i thought she was weighing her options like "kickin' in the front seat seems fun, but hey, sittin' in the back seat has its upsides as well!"

some dude, Friday, 18 March 2011 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link

Whether she can sing or not is irrelevant.. she's been immortalized as an autotune singer. Millions of people now associate her voice with how it specifically sounds in this song and for better or worse nothing will change that.

wait i'm pretty sure the tweet about the airport came from a fake rebecca black twitter, yes? (i am assuming _RebeccaBlack_ is fake)

Why would someone set up a fake Rebecca Black Twitter a year before she became famous?

Joseph Beuys II Men (jaymc), Friday, 18 March 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link

running from the concrete is good!
friday is kinda boring?

I just want to give a shout-out to Buzzy Beetles (forksclovetofu), Friday, 18 March 2011 22:06 (thirteen years ago) link

Also the video lies.. in the song she's supposed to be choosing her seat on the schoolbus, but in the video they used a car because they couldn't find a schoolbus for the videoshoot.

billstevejim, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link

And yes it really did take me all week to figure that out..

billstevejim, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:12 (thirteen years ago) link

What's more fun: kickin' or sittin'? I feel like the front seat is the obvious call.

dlp9001, Friday, 18 March 2011 22:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Next Friday I'm going to push the boat out and try kicking in not the front seat but the back seat

Do you think she ever handed the essay in?

Rebecca Black otm! Her sentence construction leads me to believe that she could do a much better job writing her own lyrics than the Ark hacks.

also, she should cover Big Fun (Big Fun Fun Fun Fun?)

there should be more "asses" threads imo (Pillbox), Friday, 18 March 2011 23:16 (thirteen years ago) link

wow way to tell it Rebecca

partyin partyin

i don't know much about how twitter works since i do not have one but i read somewhere that whoever owns it changed the account name once rb got big

in any case, the ark page said at one point that she did not have any official facebook/twitter/etc, until they put up her (sadly quite boring) @REBECCAFANCLUB twitter page

teledyldonix, Saturday, 19 March 2011 01:02 (thirteen years ago) link

Let it be noted that the actual lyric is "my friend is by my right", which isn't even "here's my friend!" but is more "i have a friend in the general vicinity of this side of me"

but the lyrics are:

kickin' in the front seat
sittin' in the back seat
can't make my mind up
which seat should I take?

... so she's already seated in the back, kicking the front seat, and she still isn't sure where to sit...?

Naw, it's enjambed:

"I see my friends kickin' in the front seat, si'in' in the back seat"

The whole damn thing is just so harebrained that it's hard to let yourself register that the writers had a thought that sustained itself over a whole line break.

I don't buy the bus thing - if it were truly a bus, "front seat" and "back seat" would be plural, since there are multiple front seats and multiple back seats in a bus

dayo, Saturday, 19 March 2011 02:22 (thirteen years ago) link

plus cool kids would never sit in the front seat on a school bus.

Bus driver would kick u off for kicking in the backseat btw

RB's friends are cool?

some dude, Saturday, 19 March 2011 02:27 (thirteen years ago) link

kickin' in the front seat
sittin' in the back seat
emergency exit seat
wheel well cramped seat
the one with a cigarette hole in the fabric
gum underneath it, no way I'm'a grab it
behind the driver, he smells like garlic
WHICH SEAT CAN I TAKE?
