Many remember Rebecca Black's song Friday very well from when it went viral
almost 3 years ago. While it was annoying to almost everyone who had the
displeasure of hearing it, including Rebecca Black herself, as she so recently
stated in one of her newest videos, she has now released a sort of parody to
her original song. Titled Saturday, the
song is very similar to the style of Friday. Like many songs in modern pop-culture, it is themed
with non-stop partying during the weekend, although it is a bit catchier and
definitely less painful to listen to. The music video and song starts with many
references to Friday, making a clear connection that this is a continuation of
her original song. This song is not a bad song. Actually, it is indirectly
genius. Throughout, Saturday consistently
makes fun of Rebecca's song, Friday,
which was her first professionally released song. Apparently Rebecca decided
that it would be easier to not fight the current that was her image as in
artist rather that avoid it any longer. In fact, since the release of this
song, many have gained a new perspective on Rebecca's music and she is
beginning to be viewed as more of a respected and professional artist. Now it seems everyone
wants to ask, 'When do we get a
song about Sunday?'One of the many references in the new song, Saturday. The words fun are repeated over and over in Friday. |
