Here's an update... a special comment from good old Deutschland:



I believe that finishes the discussion :1orglaugh
 
thanks to Tosh.0 and the wonderful thing that is the internet, Rebecca Blacks song "Friday" has become an internet phenomenon for all the wrong reasons.

Are you telling me that Tosh was the one who exposed that song to the masses?? It was that lousy cocksucker??
You know, I already hated that unfunny prick back when he was just a standup comedian, and more so when I watched a few episodes of "his" show.
Now I seriously want him dead.
I'm thinking he should be chained to rear bumper of a semi truck, have painfully loud speakers in each ear, playing that "song", so loud that his ears bleed and each word feels like a red-hot knife stabbing him in the brain, pull each of his fingernails out, one by one, jam lemons onto each finger, take a blowtorch to his eyes, let wolves devour his testicles, repeatedly throw a bowling ball at his face, insert his teeth up his nose, sew his ankles to his head, set his hair on fire, and let the truck drag him at top speed until he is nothing more than a Picasso painting on the road.
Die, Daniel Tosh, Die. :flame:
 
This is clearly not the worst song ever written, it is mindless pop aimed at the youth audience. Yes its rubbish to 'grown up' audiences but hardly merits the title of worst song ever written. That title belongs to anything by U2, REM or Coldplay. Mindless dirges for middle aged white guys who still think they are cool (I am referring to the band members as well as the audiences).

I never understood the appeal of Tosh and his show either. The funny part about the show are the videos, not the comedian, but it seems like everyone I know thinks Tosh is some type of comedic genius.
 
Please read these lyrics. If you make it all the way through, congratulations. You're not very smart.

(Yeah, Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ark)
Oo-ooh-ooh, hoo yeah, yeah

Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah

[Rebecca Black - Verse 1]

7am, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’
Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin’ forward to the weekend

[Rebecca Black - Verse 2]

7:45, we’re drivin’ on the highway
Cruisin’ so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My friend is by my right
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

[Chorus]

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday

[Rap Verse]

R-B, Rebecca Black
So chillin’ in the front seat (In the front seat)

Makes tick tock, tick tock, wanna scream
Check my time, it’s Friday, it’s a weekend
We gonna have fun, c’mon, c’mon, y’all

[Chorus]

You know what I hate more than anything about this song? It's the fact that only in America you can fail upwards. If you release a shitty song like Friday or create a trash movie like The Room you become a celebrity and you make money from that garbage. If you're a drug addict on a reality show then you become a star and the media can't get enough of you. I guess I'm old fashioned in thinking that we should reward skill and not incompetence. My friend tells me I should watch really bad movies because they're so funny and I'm thinking Fuck You that doesn't make it good or worth my time.

If I have a website where I film myself running around completely naked in shopping malls and Walmarts as security chases me would that make me famous millionaire in America? Is that really all it takes? I guess it would because I'd be making a complete fool out of myself and people would watch my videos just for laughs.

But that's not really the point. Regardless of the merits or otherwise of this song reading lyrics proves nothing. Lyrics are not meant to be read in isolation, they aren't poetry regardless of what some people think. You can read lyrics from a lot of songs & they sound stupid because they are meant to be sung not read like a poem! :brick:

Bieber is an okay musician...
Gaga is a fantastic musician...

I must have missed something. No offense, but both Bieber and GaGa are mediocre musicians and personal taste is not the matter here. Every musician who studied music could tell you that they are indeed mediocre musicians.

Of course, if we measure a good musician from their success and ability to market themselves then they are fantastic musicians, but music skills wise (composing, playing, writing) they are mediocre. Gaga may be inspired by The Queen and Freddy Mercury like she keeps repeating at every interview, but the similarities with fanstastic musicians stop there. This was true also for Madonna imo, so it is not a generational issue.
