so, i don't know if you've ever heard of this song called "friday," sung by rebecca black. it's really, truly bad--i think it was recently voted the worst song on the internet. and you know that's saying something, when you think about all the crap on the internet. aside from her monotone, the lyrics are just awful:
"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 after...wards
I don’t want this weekend to end."
Although i don't recommend it, if you want to watch the poor girl, here you go:
anyway, stephen colbert and jimmy fallon recently did a version of "friday" on fallon's late-night show, and frankly, i loved it. not because it was sung or arranged better (though it was)--i loved it because they really sold it. they really got into it, had the NY knicks dancers, taylor hicks, props, and most importantly ENTHUSIASM. here's the colbert/fallon version for your viewing enjoyment:
and i think that's the difference between crap and a good time: enthusiasm. may your cheerfulness and moxie turn all your irritating and perhaps junk situations into (to take a line from "friday") "fun fun fun fun"!
