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

xp apparently fuck you is #1 in airplay right now: http://www.billboard.com/charts/radio-songs

yeah it's had a kind of weird surge of renewed popularity in the last few weeks, even starting to hear it on R&B stations now

gonna assume that 90% of the downloads are from the ~youtube generation~ of kids (same under 16 sort that makes conscious and well thought out efforts to post youtube comments), so it strikes me as a bit weird that this is actually being sold on such a huge-scale (considering kidz these dayz have likely never bought a CD in their lives)

i mean i bet rebecca's been robbed of at least the entire US deficit w/ the number of times this has been pulled from limewire or whatever the hell the under 16 crowd uses to download music.

it doesn't seem weird to me. iTunes gift cards are pretty much the default birthday gift for t(w)eens these days, and they have to use them on something, right? plus I'll bet there are loads of 12-year-olds (as opposed to, say, 17-year-olds) who buy mp3s with their own money because they haven't yet been exposed to the evils of that new Napster thingy. squeaky clean folk hero Rebecca Black doesn't really appeal to file-sharers, who are likely to sneer at her (and Justin Bieber, and Disney pop) while they download edgier shit like Paramore.

but those people really matter, because there are plenty of innocent, law-abiding kiddies who are flipping out over "Friday" and throwing their $$$$$ (or their parents' $$$$$) in Ark's direction. I mean if you program a computer to write music for the target demographic of "kids who actually pay for music", it'll take all of 2 milliseconds to spit out something like, "gotta have a bowl, gotta have cereal," bleep bleep bloop you're rich.

(oops, I mean, "those people don't really matter." good lord I can't type lately)

It's at 60 in the real (UK) chart, up one place from last week

why do they refuse to pay someone to write passable lyrics to go with their passable music?

if the point of this above track is to say "hey, let me into the Dr Luke earworm business, someone else can write the words," great, but if it's actually meant to sell Pato as a celebrity in his own right, wtf

fyi "friday" was the first song i bought on itunes in like 5 years

my name is pato
people call me patrice
i am living my life

and so is my niece

reminds me of that mr show sketch where the CEO is going on about how his business has been in his family for generations "SO DON'T YOU CALL ME FAT!"

Oh man that 30mins version forks posted upthread <3

seriously though, if this guy is making these tracks, he should get a job in a genuine bubblegum factory

so i said what seat should i take
should i take the front seat or the back seat
realizing that we were supposed to have a school bus
guess what, we didn't have no money for a school bus!

My name is Pato
That's Spanish for duck
Why does everybody
Say I suck?

I have feelings too
You should be more considerate
I'd write an angry letter if I wasn't illiterate

I like young girls

I know, it sounded like the Cocteau twins... (xposts)

realizing that we were supposed to have a school bus
guess what, nothing really rhymes with school bus!

Yes, Cocteau Twins indeed, that's it!! Wau.

xp

Stool flush xpost

He should name his album Patophile

ts: pato vs. blotto

was Dom's piece the first to coin the "fat Usher" nickname???????

I want to weigh in on this before the 2,000th post...It's a bus song; not one of the best, but a bus song nonetheless. Kris Kross, the Guess Who, the Hollies, the Who, the Vengaboys--I like bus songs. I'm going to play this over the school P.A. Friday morning. I'm at a K-8; two-thirds of the kids will love it, one-third will groan mightily.

RIP clemenza

it is a shame that you are about to be torn apart by annoyed 5- through 14-year-olds

torn apart in the front seat
torn apart in the back seat

Murdering murdering yeah!
Death
Death
Death
Death

Ironic death: Clemenza tossed under the wheels of a school bus.

RIP dude.

the front wheels or the back?

Wishbone I will taaaake

You've got me worried now. I'm picturing something like the end of Freaks, with me locked in my room as dozens of kindergarten kids try to break down the door and exact a horrible revenge.

Exciting!

Fun fun fun fun

Guys, just to clear things up:

http://cherryhillmall.com/about_us/news/read/6086

CJ Fam still gonna show up though

yeah, i had to let my friend down on FB about that the other day

I've heard this song once almost all the way through, and i've heard a few Bieber singles in their entirety. I can't remember anything about the latter but the former is definitely some kinda earworm.

I am saddened because the Cherry Hill Mall was gonna be the mall I went to if Rebecca Black mall appearance I went. I knew the tour was a hoax but the finality of that press release is soul crushing.

"LOL" is not the next single. Bad move imo.

I have been watching the 'girl in pink' livestream for like an hour. She is p chill.Feels weird tho. http://www.livestream.com/thatgirlinpink

i don't know what makes that sound like porn more, the url or the way you posted it

There isn't really a good way to explain the joys of watching a 13 yr old girl on webcam, I've discovered. It was entertaining. "I don't know what a meme is"

(calls Chris Hansen)

it would be funny if her live stream was just an endless loop of her going [shy smile] "this is sooooooo weird!" [giggles].

Or an endless loop of her doing the dance?

Okay, this livestream is really awkward. She seems like a really nice kid, though.
