'Friday' song is simply fun, fun, fun, fun

It's Friday

IF you haven't heard this song by now then you must live under a rock. I had no idea what the song was until my friends told me there was a video that I "just HAD to watch!" Personally I said "this is awful why do you watch this?" Which is true.. why are people making fun of a video that she had the right to make and we have the right to watch it or not to watch it.

Currently the official music video, with the "artist" Rebecca Black, has 40 million views and a lot more to come.  The lyrics have been bashed by almost every person who has listened to it. And the 339, 494 comments have ranged from "this is a hunk of crap i want to buy this so i can burn it" to "she sounds more manly then justin bieber." 

The Daily Collegian columnist Erin Rowley refers to the comment "“Go cut yourself” when she says, "Hurling insults like that at a middle-schooler is cruel and doesn’t do anyone any good. It’s one thing to criticize; it’s quite another to suggest Rebecca should slit her wrists as vengeance for your offended ears." I have to agree that this is not the best song that I've heard in my lifetime but what do you expect?

The article 'Friday' song is simply fun, fun, fun, fun about the reviews of the song and the music industry in general. She made a lot of points that I have to agree with. "I don’t take baseball bats to the cars of cheating boyfriends. I don’t brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack. I don’t kiss girls and like it," (Rowley). We are criticizing this teenager when we listen to songs that have idiotic lyrics and ridiculous music videos. I'd rather watch Rebecca drive around with her less than legal friends than a video with girls shaking their asses on the hood of 50 cent's car. Hopefully you agree.
