Friday! (Rebecca Black)
« on: April 28, 2011, 03:28:25 AM »
SINCERIOUSLY!?!?!?

Rebecca Black!? Thoughts? I watched the video once and had to watch it a few more times ... I can't believe how weird the song is and I'm saying weird and not stupid because I don't want to go there. But ok, I searched a little and apparently she is into music for realzz. It's been a long time since I was involved in these internet jokes so I don't know what is this?

For those of you who haven't watched the video:

DOCTOR WHO VERSION!

It's still annoying but at least now it's got a slightly bearable theme.

THIS PERSON IS A GENIUS.... 

In contrast to the original work, this essay shows thoughtful consideration and an awareness of something real....

Arms So Freezy: Rebecca Black's "Friday" As Radical Text
By Dana Vachon | March 23, 2011

Rebecca Black wakes somewhat too perfectly in the early scenes of her viral video, "Friday." Her eyes open exactly as the clock beside her bed flashes seven. She wears full make-up. Rare for a teen, she isn’t tired, longs not for any receding dreams.

Her cultural debt is less to Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles than Evie Vicki the robot girl from Small Wonder, we realize, as in a voice controlled by Auto-Tune she enumerates the banalities of an anti-existence: “Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs, gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal… gotta get down to the bus stop....”

Read the whole essay. 

Unlike the original song, you won't wind up wishing you could have that 3min 48sec back.

Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

here's amanda cover.
best i heard yet,
but i enjoy the unique perspective a
sees life with

i believe this is the first time she performed it in public.
she also did a costume change just before it.
it was at last friday show, 20 Apr 2011, during her residency
at the SIM program at MassArts.

The funniest thing about Bod Dylan's version is that if you search for Bob Dylan in youtube this some of the first hits.

Let's see......

We've got:
- Death Metal Version
- Bob Dylan Version
- actual-singer pop-remake "epic" version...
- AFP uke-version

(and they're all better than the original)

What's still missing?  
Hip-Hop/Gangsta Friday...
Country and/or Western and/or bluegrass Friday...
Opera Friday anyone?  (I'm thinkin' big-overdone soprano aria...)
maybe Hair-Band Friday...

Anything else?

We need a bluegrass version. With banjos. Any shadowboxers play the banjo?
