'Worst song ever' gets 16m views after going viral - GoFuckYourself.com

DVTimes · 03-19-2011, 04:54 AM

A song by a 13-year-old American teenager has gone viral on the internet after being widely described as the worst one ever recorded.

Rebecca Black's pop song called Friday has been viewed on YouTube more than 16 million times.

It has trended on Twitter and been the subject of huge online comment and discussion.

Mainly because it's been derided by millions of people for what they say are its awful lyrics.

Ones like "yesterday was Thursday Thursday, today it is Friday Friday", "gotta get down to the bus stop, gotta get my bus, i see my friends" and and "we we we so excited, we so excited".

People have been quick to criticise the song for more than just its words.

The teenager's heavily auto tuned singing and video have also been labelled as terrible.

Future stars

The song was produced by Los Angeles based Ark Music Factory which describes itself as an Independent Record Label.

On its website it says its main objective is to discover future #1 artists and produce the next outstanding star.

Rebecca's profile page on the site describes her as "a fun loving, 13-year-old.

"She loves to sing, dance and act, and she is always looking to try something new.

"She landed the lead role in her school musical, Oklahoma!"

There are many parents willing to pay whatever it takes to make their children become the next Justin Bieber.

The now internationally recognised number one star was discovered on YouTube and later signed by Usher.

In this case though despite the criticism Rebecca may have the last laugh.

Tweeting on 15 March she said "My song Friday is now available on iTunes !!! Thank you all for your support. xoxo <3

".

It's now entered the iTunes chart and is currently at number 54.

Perhaps the most annoying cunt on GFY can garner similar success on Youtube?

I'm considering using Firefox for GFY so I can use StuartD's plugin to erase this asshole from the board.

The plugin works wonders for those who don't have the mental capacity to simply ignore, and not click into, threads started by people they can't fucking stand...

Lyrics maybe retarded, but it is catchy and I wouldn't be surprised if part of it it ends up in a commercial on TV, radio or in a movie - even as a gag.

TheDoc · 03-19-2011, 07:59 AM

That shit's pretty good for a 13 year old.... who cares what she's saying or how it even sounds, a freaking 13 year old did that.

Like any of us here at 13 where doing anything but playing with ourselves every moment we could.

03-19-2011, 11:40 AM

its not so much a 13 year old who did it all, theres a whole production team behind her and. . . theres more than her they are releasing so expect more from these guys!
She, along with several others have been manufactured for this sole reason... to create a youtube viral and to try and fidn the next superstar

Agent 488 · 03-19-2011, 11:52 AM

it's kid music for little kid's ... who cares? they will like it. hating on her feels like kicking a puppy.

Horny Dude · 03-19-2011, 12:52 PM

And then they wonder why the music industry is falling apart.

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 03-19-2011, 05:47 PM

No worse than any of Lady Gaga's lyrics...

babymaker · 03-19-2011, 05:52 PM

It's sad what passes for music these days. In the past we had The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson. Nowadays, fucking Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black.

MrMaxwell · 03-20-2011, 01:53 PM
