| Rebecca Black – Friday Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Well there are two options here. Either everyone involved in the making of this song is a complete and total idiot, or the lyricist has produced a genius work of satire. If it is the latter, the auto-toned, overly simplistic, and mindless lyrics are used to demonstrate the increasing trend of meaningless songs that all sound the same. The repetition of the words 'fun', 'partying', and 'Friday' are used the show how most modern day pop stars and their song writers have simply given up on originality and creativity. They simply repeat a chorus, line, or even a single word an unreasonable amount of times simply for the sake of wasting time until the song has reached the typical 3-4 minute play time. The verse 'Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday, Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin’)We-we-we so excited ,We so excited, We gonna have a ball today, Tomorrow is Saturday, And Sunday comes afterwards' is used to highlight the over-simplistic and meaningless lyrics used by most modern pop singers. Everything is explained to us. No ambiguity or metaphor or message. Nothing to think about. Songs where music is art and lyrics are poetry don't seem to be found in the mainstream anymore. 'Passin’ by is a school bus in front of me, Makes tick tock, tick tock, wanna scream' shows again meaninglessness, but also demonstrates how some songs are simply nonsensical with out any coherence. You have to hope that these are the realities that are meant to be conveyed, because if this song is taken at face value it is obviously one of the most moronic and annoying songs written. But, let's face it. The chances of this song being a brilliant commentary on modern mainstream music are incredibly slim... | |
