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

lmao after it got 200m views they wanted to start charging $3 to watch it

maybe pato could finally afford that school bus

this shit is kinda funny; growing pains from nobody knowing how to make money of something this unique
they'll figure it out faster next time or the time after that

well that's not quite right -- they got the song on iTunes within days of the video blowing up, which made it probably the most profitable meme of all time

after hipster puppies, obv

they call me broke, broke, broke usher

the broadcast rights alone for glee are gonna pay a tidy sum for years to come

the issue is between ark music and black's management (parents?), iirc the original contract was a work-for-hire deal, which would mean ark music gets nothing out of this besides what they were already paid, black owns the songwriting and publishing rights

sounds like ark was trying to charge on youtube so they could get some cut of the gravy train and black's team brought down the hammer

yeah but they didnt have to punish US

internecine beefs almost certainly cost both sides a shitton of cash

$3 to watch this thing? that's less than $0.20 per "fun"! and if a tiny "fun tax" is what it takes to restore Ark Music Factory to its glory days of late 2010/early 2011 (remember CJ Fam? remember Britt Rutter? maybe some of you don't) then I don't think RB or her handlers ought to make a fuss over it.

and it's frustrating that we may never get to see Friday rise to the top 10 most viewed youtube videos ever. it's like FloJo dropping out the 100m race half a second before she's about to make the record books. "Friday" was just days away from beating "Evolution of Dance" ffs, but nevermind now I guess. the dream is over. happy BLACK Friday, y'all.

don't waste your time on me, Rebecca Black, you're already a voice inside my head (singing about cereal, car seats...I forget what else)

it had to come down on friday

the ouroboros always goes after its own tail, not some other ouroboros's tail. Rebecca Black just ate her own tail.

i bet you put that on youtube and you can definitely get $3 a watch

This wouldn't be so bad if my fucking iTunes version had the rap verse in it, but oh wait, it doesn't.

I still can't believe ppl paid money for this

I torrented it, but still.

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black." :((((((

lol people seem to be reposting it on fake vevo channels (that just have "vevo" appended to the username) but sadly these are also being pulled down

remember CJ Fam?

Never forget.

"Gang Fight" is still on Youtube and still awesome.

Fun fun etc. from the purported mastermind.

shades of tommy wiseau retroactively labeling the room a "black comedy" in that interview...

Guys ... guess what day it is today.

yesterday was Thursday (Thursday)

shades of tommy wiseau retroactively labeling the room a "black comedy" in that interview...

I'm assuming this refers to... Wilson said at the time he basically meant for the song to be dumb. "That was the whole point,"

Yeah, that has to be a lie.. There is no way they weren't writing the lyrics while she was in their bedroom studio with the mic in front of her. There was no "plan" other than taking her parents money and throwing some shit together. And "The Room" is more than likely autobiographical.

that time tommy wiseau killed himself

But it's a metaphor! Look what they did to him!

^^^SPOILER ALERT

Rebecca Black To Release New Single Next Week

The new song will debut on her YouTube channel July 18 at 8 p.m.

Following up the single – and making “The Moment” last even longer, Black will self-release a five-track EP album in August.

!!!!!

It would take some amazing luck and/or intensely careful planning to actually make this song more popular than "Friday." I hope it happens.

maybe popular but MORE popular than friday? no.

yeah, that's not happening

This Moment
cereal
This Moment
cereal

they tapped me to help w/lyrics, it's gonna be hott

make it happen aero. this could be the greatest ilx prank of all time if you could offer pro bono songwriting services and work in references to captain lorax

they would take you up on this offer, don't even front
the only reason it's not happening is because of your own selfishness

and a five track EP comes after wooooooords.

The girl in pink has the right perspective on it all.
