I was really hoping for Rebecca to appear. I feel sorry for that tone-deaf spoilt little brat. Hope she doesn't become too emotionally scarred from all this.

Don't worry, she has her own channel on Funny or Die, and they gave her videos a special voting setup - instead of "Die" Or "Funny" for choices you have "Monday" or "Friday". She is milking this thing for all it is worth, and good for her. She's still just a kid, yet she seems to be taking it all in stride rather than letting it crush her soul.

Besides, her 15 minutes are almost up, and at least it her song didn't rocket up the charts like some other crap did in the past:





Aye yay yay, how come so many people to this day still think MacArthur Park is anything other than a horrible song? We all may be part of the problem.

"Friday" co-writer Patrice Wilson explained that "I wrote the lyrics on a Thursday night going into a Friday. I was writing different songs all night and was like, 'Wow, I've been up a long time and it's Friday.' And I was like, wow, it is Friday!"

The prominent synth hook sounded good enough on this with a real band backing it that I just blocked out the lyrics and was almost able to enjoy this song purely based off of the fair compositional quality, but then I remembered that it stands for so much that I hate and it slipped away.

We mock Rebecca, and we are right to do so, but she has contributed more joy to the world, even if it's not in the way she intended, than most of us ever will. True beauty and joy can come from the ugly, the horrific, and the absurd. Own your ugliness, and laugh.

Well I believe the house band for the Jimmy Fallon show is "the Roots". Can't go wrong there...
