Masochism is apparently more popular than you realize. For example, how else could something like this generate the hit count it has, not to mention the scores of parodies?The Rebecca Black- Friday video officially has over 23 million views...
Got a tip for us?

I HATE OWL CITY!!!! That guy has ZERO talent and he sings about the dumbest ****! I get super angry hearing it too!
The song has a lot going for it - it's educational (learning the sequence of the days of the week), it deals which difficult real-life choices (do I sit in the front seat or the back seat?), and it's just a lot of fun (it even says so 68 times!).
By the way - here's the original Bob Dylan version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FISHEO3gsM
I hate Bob Dylan. I think he's awful. If I wanted to hear the sound of a kazoo I'd play one on my own time rather than putting in a Bob Dylan record. (EDIT: I also am having fun telling people this is real! Even though its not
)This is my take on worst song ever. When I heard it I was on a bus in Kuwait and EVERYONE on the bus was begging the driver to turn the station.

And then for fun, shock and horror, I have to post this gem (NSFW!) Its more funny than anything.

EDIT: I just punched my desk because I heard crappy owl city on a commercial for some crappy owl movie since whoever made the preview has no imagination and instead of putting in a fitting score they though it could be cute to play owl city for a preview of a stupid owl movie!
Owl City really does incite anger!

Ok I just saw the music video and I'm in shock.
I was like this at the beginning:

SO AWKWARD

Sure it's not a great song or great video but it's probably more accomplishment than most of us office chair referee's put together in a year. At least she's enjoying what she is doing...
No, I don't like the song Friday, but I don't agree with people giving her so much s*** about it. Just leave it alone if you don't like the song.

Brian Haner rocks. Yes, that is Guitar Guy from the Jeff Dunham shows, and Synyster Gates' father (Avenged Sevenfold).
BL.
No, I'm not gonna flame you.I have seen this elsewhere, over the last few days, and I will cut off the limb I'm sitting on by saying that I like it.
Sure, it will wear quickly, but I get a kick out of the youthful vigour.
OK, flame me.
And it's not the worst song ever. I've often seen this posted as the worst song ever.
The one in the original post certainly doesn't brim with sophistication and originality, but I have a hard time criticizing these teeny-bopper* singers. It's like picking on little kids.
I do think she reminds me of one of those Nick stars, like iCarly or Victorious. That's not a good thing...but then neither am I their intended audience.
* If you needed any proof that I'm an old fart, my use of that word right there should do it.
The fact this video is so popular says something.
There are PLENTY of awful music videos on the internet which achieve no where near the fame this one has - some of them are far worse.
My thought is the reason this one got so popular is the song is catchy, yet has absolutely AWFUL lyrics (though they are definitely memorable) and she's reasonably attractive.

She has another song. Titled Prom Night.
It's on iTunes....

I'll admit it is a bit catchy. But the lyrics are vapid and her voice sounds like a robot.
friday, friday... do do-do lol
btw I love how everyone in the video has zits and braces.

That may be one of it's few redeeming values.
Teaches the target demographic that it's ok to look like this during your teens.
Take that air-brush and put it where the Sun don't shine.
Ah, she was able to top herself.
OK, in spite of what Jacqueline Susann says, once is enough.
Keep up with the singing lessons, little girl.

I think I just accidentally found a music video that makes most of what's been posted in this thread look like quality music. I followed a link from this thread, then clicked on a related video, and... this came up:

Any song that uses actual instruments and vocals instantly is better than Friday. Except maybe Nickle Back songs.
Still, good for her for making that money.
