YouTube Classics: Watch & Learn Kids

I couldn't bring myself to post this under the greatest songs thread, but the real measure of a classic video is not the quality of the video itself, but whether the video creates a whole new genre of video (much like that crazy furniture store commercial).

The song has generated a slew of parodies, most of which are better than the original song.

The world has long needed a song dedicated to fried eggs.

I think it could be argued that the parody teaches a more important lesson than the original video did - which hand is which vs which day comes before the other. After all, can you really say Saturday comes after Friday if Saturday comes before Sunday, which comes before Monday, which comes before Tuesday, which comes before Wednesday, which comes before Thursday, which comes before Friday? The days of the week are all so circular it could make a person dizzy (especially if the person is blonde).

I was also going to put it in best songs but, random thoughts was right next to me so I went for the RT thread.

I have never seen any video that has this bad ratings:
102,495 likes, 855,543 dislikes

But, she is just a little girl, and donated all her 30K revenue from his video to Japan which is good.

The company that wrote and produced the song write and produce songs for lots of aspiring artists (provided the artist or their family pay the production costs, kind of like a vanity press type company). All of the other songs they wrote are just vapid fillers, making all of their artists resemble generic beer. Only the artists friends and families would ever be proud of them (that butterflies song might be an exception - her family must have had to pay extra). And what's with the rapper cruising along in his automobile - he gets patched into practically every little girl video that company produces.

As vapid as their standard song is, Rebecca's family must have only been able to afford songs even Ark Music rejected - and somehow they managed to get a song that crossed the line from vapid to so incredibly stupid that no one could resist it! She's almost as transfixing as William Hung!

The bad ratings are only because the viewers hate themselves when they start singing along.

Party, party ... yeaah!
Party, party ... yeaah!
Fun, fun, fun, fun.

That's almost as fun to sing as "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes; knees and toes".

Here's the original version of Rebecca Black's song - before her parents heard it and ordered it redubbed with the computerized voice on the released version:

I like that Friday video. But then I also like Mento's commercials.

Here's the Bob Dylan version:

Here's the Bob Dylan version:

Wow! I was so ready to laugh at that, but I...I...actually like it!

 

[BobG]

Wow! I was so ready to laugh at that, but I...I...actually like it!

I know just what you mean. The wisdom, emotion, and just pure memories formed into lyrics that could have no equal. Bob Dylan is an absolute genius at creating the humans greatest love, music. I had this song played at my wedding and when the chorus came in a tear rolled down my cheek as I stared into my partners eyes. She smiled, wiped it away, and said to me "Gotta get down on Friday."

The reason I had this played at my wedding was that back in 1984, the year before I was born, I played this song at my cat's funeral, which was on a Friday. What Dylan did here was encapsulate the meaning of Friday, partying, and fun - so much so that I had to name my cat Friday. Every time I play this song on my digital phonograph I remember the good time's I had with Friday, and how we partied, spent many a hours choosing a seat, and had fun/cereal.

I didn't see that coming

I'm glad Friday has been posted here already. It's only been a few weeks since the song was posted on Comedy Central, yet the song has beaten Justin Bieber on iTunes, and the bed intruder song on YouTube (86 vs. 78 million views).

Here are some Friday-related videos I liked:
(Good Morning America interview)
(Friday without autotune)
(Benni Cinkle FAQ)

I have seen it earlier and I wonder whose fault it is.

I have seen it earlier and I wonder whose fault it is.

NTSB is going to go through the flight data recorders on both aircraft. If you follow the rule of the highway, the person who rear-ends another is always at fault. We'll see what they find though.

I had heard about it before seeing the video. It's amazing how the smaller plane just got tossed aside.

Poles are nice.

The ethnic cultural craze known as Pole-dancing is really catching on.

Poles are nice.

Video was posted by a Pole, but they are not Poles - no idea what language they speak, but it is not Polish, sounds Scandinavian to me.
