I survived "Friday" on Friday. I could hear a big commotion in the hall once it started up--I'm in a wing with mostly grade 6 classes, a couple of 4/5s, and two grade 8s. One of the grade 8 teachers told me a bunch of 8s were congregating and dancing, half of them sincerely, half ironically. I'm guessing there were even some on the fence--half-serious, half-ironic. In any event, it got much more attention than "Whole Lotta Love" on Wednesday (albeit the edited 3:10 version) or "Girl You Know It's True" on Thursday, neither of which anybody even noticed.

Next week, I may venture into completed uncharted territory...Bieber. (If I can find a song I like.)

I am glad you encourage hallway dancing...my 8th grade self thanks you!

I haven't heard the "Message From Pato" thing yet, but I've been told he addresses that they didn't have the money to put a school bus in the video.

The song is about the bus.

I got bored after the first post. I see I should have persevered a bit. I'm gonna blame my kids because 1) they are clearly 4 weeks behind the times and 2) they're not here.

She's not even wearing a fucking pair of jeans

cost of hiring a pair of jeans = cost of hiring a school bus.

Those comments on that story.

I'm more surprised people still care that much.

Chord Overstreet

He's an actor on the show, yes.

jaymc, Friday, 15 April 2011 13:52 (thirteen years ago) link

Chord Overstreet sounds like a nefarious yuppie property developer trying to get the school bus taken away in the 80s movie 'Rebecca's Crazy Friday' co starring John Cusack

Exactly. I was just c&ping it because I honestly couldn't tell if that was his real name or his character's name. For his sake, I hoped the latter, but I looked it up and saw the truth. Poor kid.

10 gives you 1 he changed it to that to be more 'noticeable'

Mark G, Friday, 15 April 2011 14:30 (thirteen years ago) link

According to my very brief research this morning, his dad is the country singer Paul Overstreet and Chord and Nash are his two sons' real names.

Not sure the ultimate meaning of it all, but has there ever been a song more than this one that everybody knows despite almost no radio airplay?

Lee626, Thursday, 21 April 2011 11:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Did that Bed Intruder thing get much airplay?

President Keyes, Thursday, 21 April 2011 13:58 (thirteen years ago) link

don't think so, pretty sure it never showed up on any airplay charts anyhow

teledyldonix, Thursday, 21 April 2011 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link

it charted on billboard. And they played it at the BET Music Awards and everybody in the crowd sang along!
but no, not as big as friday.

My bad Van Buren! (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 21 April 2011 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link
