Kevin Marshall's America
Good morning! Here’s something awful.
A few things…
1. I no longer think “God, I can’t wait until Friday.” Instead, I trudge through my work week with the constant fear that Friday is coming; that terrible day where people just say all the things that are happening and auto-tune everything to death.
2. Did Rebecca Black write these lyrics herself? If not, who did, and is that person going to come forward or do we need to find him/her?
3. Why is she waiting for the bus if her friends are picking her up? Why didn’t they offer her a ride in the first place? Did they steal that car?
4. When you can’t auto-tune somebody into hitting the right notes, then maybe they shouldn’t sing.
5. Who’s the grown-ass man rapping in the car at the 2:30 mark? She’s just a child, likely pushed into this hideous project by an overbearing parent(s). What’s your excuse? Shame on you, sir.
6. IT’S FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY
7. PARTYIN’ PARTYIN’
8. FUN FUN FUN FUN
The music video is put out by The Ark Music Factory, an independent music label that specializes in what can generously described as auditory terror. The label specializes in young (pre-)teen girls, and also has that one rapper (“Pato”) that shows up in the above video and just wraps about school buses and stuff.
Suddenly, what the SUNY Albany kids did doesn’t seem that bad.

This is only the beginning. Biebermills like Ark will be popping up everywhere soon, and youtube will be flooded with even more autotuned, trite-lyric-singing kids.
THE END IS NIGH! REPENT!

Isn’t that your ringtone.
Megan - Only when you call.
The whole island of Japan just moved 8 freakin’ feet, and now this…
My advice: If the Earth opens up, jump back. If the sky opens up, jump in!
Are her friends old enough to drive? Why aren’t they wearing seatbelts?
Glee and High School Musical give false hope to the youth that anyone can and should sing and dance.
This girl reminds me of the Glee star who sang at the superbowl…. and bombed.
I was really glad she outlined where everyone was seated…I was wondering that but couldn’t figure it out :(
When reached for comment, Justin Bieber said, “Umm…she seems nice but it’s not just my thing…too ‘pop’-y, ya know…kinda annoying. I prefer a ‘harder’ sound…”
GenWar - re: seating. What I find fascinating is that this is a continual dilemma for her. In the morning, waiting for the bus, they pull up: front seat or back seat? Then, on their way to a party after school: front seat or back seat? Then, everyone’s partyin’ partyin’ fun fun fun fun, and again she asks: front seat or back seat?
Maybe we’re taking these lyrics too literally. Perhaps “front seat or back seat” is meant to represent all those hard choices we make as a teenager when in these delicate social situations that can change the course of our entire lives.
Two notes:
1. “Biebermill” is perhaps the greatest word I will witness being invented in my lifetime.
2. If the young talent got to LA, couldn’t cut it, needed to make ends meet, and got taken advantage of, wouldn’t you rather it be by Ark than the porno biz?
3. I think you guys are underestimating how fun this song is. To remedy this, I’ve isolated the most fun part of the song (the monotone chanting of “Fun fun fun fun”) and put it in a minute-long loop. Stare into the abyss and see if it gazes back at you: http://www.mediafire.com/?eput0m6kx8pg48v
(Or three notes. I needed a counting lesson instead of a days of the week lesson.)
Roz – You should trademark that advice immediately. Words to live by.
If you look hard enough ,you can see the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse in the back ground…..
She must go to a good school, at least she got all the days of the week correct. My parents thought N’Sync was bad…this is what our kids have to listen to? It’s a sad sad day.
That was real? This happened? People spent energy, time and money on this?
Patrick - Not only that, but they probably high-fived each other and said “this is going to make history” afterwards.
…which it sorta did…
@ #12 Erin’sDad: I would trademark it, but I learned it from one of my friends from “up north.”
SOme funny takes on this girl…

“Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’”
Are there discrete drug references in this song? If so, shame on you Ark Music Factory.
If anyone actually wants to see a GOOD band, Sebadoh is playing in Northampton on 4/8. I highly suggest getting tickets ASAP.
Why is it so hard for her to choose the seat? There’s only one seat left. The seat everyone tries not to get: back middle. No-one would give up shotgun for her.
I’m not sure she even knows what makes Fridays so cool. At least Ke$ha tells you exactly what she’s doing to have fun fun fun fun.
It looks like eating cake is fun for Ke$ha because she suuuuuuure looks like she’s eaten a lot of it lately. Hi-yoooo!
