That video was a level of suck that I've not previously experienced. Thank you Trekker.

I don't mind the song. It's poppy and zippy, and while I'm not a 13 year old girl (I've way too much facial hair), I can understand why young teens would like the song.
The black dude in the video is actually the guy who wrote the song. I think it is a law now that all pop songs song by white chicks have to have the obligatory guest rapper appearance and since he obviously was available he chose himself.
I've never seen or even heard of that video until now. It looked like a Robin Sparkles parody video, and the lyrics were pretty bad. Then I got to David's post and listened to the Bob Dylan version, and wow, what a difference. Seriously. Really poignant and heart-felt. It's amazing what kind of difference a right or wrong approach can make.
I didn't see it that way. I just saw it as one of the many instances where a guest rapper is featured to add a little something to the mix.While the song is assuredly terrible, and Black is way too made up, there is a kinda sweet earnestness and comparatively scrappy feeling to it all... until we get to the equally random and terrifying rap interlude from a 30-something gangsta grinning while he looks forward to partying with a 13-year-old girl. I feel as though people have either been missing or tiptoeing around this, but seriously, wtf?!?
Well, that's the thing, young teens DON'T like the song, they just like to make fun of it.
The video became popular because it was spread on many sites calling it "the worst song ever." She even appeared on the morning talk shows to discuss the various slurs and threats she's received as a result. She seems to be taking it well though, she basically said that the comments bothered her at first, but now she is just glad that her song is out there and people will remember it.
I mentioned it!
Though, the Taylor Hicks bit made it clear to me that the tune of "Friday" is surprisingly similar to the Narwhals song.
I had never heard of this song before this moment (one of the pecks of living in a different continent... not that we don't have this kind of inanity here, but still).
Now I feel dead inside.

I can't believe I'm the first person here to post "Gang Fight", far and away the best parody inspired by this song:

Seriously, what's better than 13 year old white kids having a gang fight with frozen chicken, party hats, and routine vaccinations with sweet carp on the side?

I made it to 0:26 before I couldn't take any more!
^ Oh man, you missed the best bit
"Kicking in the front seat, sitting in the back seat!"
What I also like is that isn't she 13? How are all her friends driving a car? I know you can drive young in America but not that young surely?
Also just look at them, there's no freakin way I'd let any of those liitle sods anywhere near a car... well maybe under the wheel

I guess I'm going to have to do this in stages. This time 0:47 before danger of head exploding.
Well, at least it's not autotuned.
The first time I successfully made it through the song was the death penalty version. It somehow made it more pleasant.
Mostly building model spaceships and jerking off.. . . Besides, what were you doing when you were thirteen?
I haven't changed a bit in 44 years.
That's a common but historically inaccurate misconception. Rosa Parks was arrested, not for refusing to move to the back of the bus, but for refusing to give up her seat to a white person when asked to do so.
And that song really does suck.
Hell, most states in the country are RAISING the driving age from 16 to 18. (Because, you see, experience and knowing how to drive comes with age not with, you know, doing it.)
That's what get me about this song it's just horribly and over AutoTunned, it doesn't even sound like a real voice anymore. Fuck, The Chipmunks sounded more realistic.
Heh, heh, you said doing it, heh, heh, heh</Beavis>
And, to you know, actually contribute to the thread, Colbert, Fallon, Hicks, and the Knick City Dancers FTW!
