All week long debate raged in the Crikey bunker over whether we should make this a Video of the Day. On the one hand, it’s one of the most abominable songs we have ever heard and has unleashed a stream of hatred against its creator, Rebecca Black. Black is just 13-years-old and this music video was produced by Ark Music Factory, a company in the US that offers slick video production and pre-written songs for wannabe popstar teens. On the other hand, with 13 million views and counting, it’s become the latest viral hit and we feel Crikey readers need to keep up with the memes. Plus, it is Friday.
Note: Mick the Sub warns: “Being made to watch things like that is why some people eat their young.”
I do question your judgement on this, as you have given me an almost uncontrollable urge to cook my young, and anyone else’s. I’m thinkin’ a roast, specifically, a rotisserie.
Too late, I didn’t get through the first minute before I started gnawing my own leg off (having no offspring to at hand to satisfy my sudden urge to see lots of blood). ‘Creator’ is certainly a better word to use than ‘singer’, since I doubt much (if any) of her real voice comes through in the final sound. I’d give the author of the computer software the ‘creator’ credit though.
Hey, I can still type even after I jammed a fork into my frontal lobe!
