♪ (Rebecca Black, "Friday") ♪

- ♪ 7 AM, waking up in the morning ♪ - (laughing) Oh, no!

♪ Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs ♪

♪ Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal ♪

♪ Kickin' in the front seat ♪

♪ Sittin' in the back seat ♪

- I love this. - ♪ Gotta make my mind up ♪

- ♪ (singing along) ♪ - ♪ Which seat can I take? ♪

Do I have to listen to the whole song?

- ♪ It's Friday, Friday ♪ - (laughs)

She's so bad. (giggles)

- ♪ (humming along) ♪ - ♪ We-we-we so excited ♪

♪ We so excited ♪

What is wrong with her? She can't even speak proper English.

Is this a real song?

♪ And Sunday comes afterwards ♪

- ♪ So chillin' in the front seat ♪ - What happened?

(laughs) What happened? That's not a teenager!

♪ Check my time, it's Friday, it's a weekend ♪

Oh, gosh. I've seen this video so many times.

- ♪ Partyin', partyin' ♪ - No.

She's not even singing.

It looks like she's just talking with her nose plugged.

- ♪ (song ends) ♪ - Yay, it's over.

(children) Question time!

(FineBros) What did you think of the music video?

It was lame.

That was definitely off.

It was horrible beyond measure! Mass hysteria!

It was entertaining because it was terrible.

(FineBros) What did you think of the lyrics of the song?

I understood it was Friday.

Fridays are really fun,

but I wouldn't go out and write a song about it.

You don't really talk about what you do every single day.

(FineBros) So, you think the song was good?

- Yeah. - I liked it.

I loved it because there was a girl

and it was like pig supreme-- pig fer-preme--

It's a dessert with a pig on top.

I think it's pretty bad.

Horrible. It shouldn't even be on YouTube, and that's just sad,

'cause some people post some really weird stuff on YouTube.

- (FineBros) That we make you watch. - Yes.

(FineBros) Did you ever see this before?

No! I never wanted to see this!

(both) Nope.

We've heard this song plenty of times at school.

They play it on Fridays at my school.

(FineBros) Do you think Rebecca's a good singer?

- Ehh. - No.

I couldn't really tell. I mean, it was Auto-Tuned.

She became famous for being terrible. That's just not fair, okay?

Who wants to make a bunch of money

off something that people hate?

(FineBros) What about the part

where she's talking about the days of the week?

I don't know; that made no sense.

I know that Friday is before Saturday

and that Saturday is before Sunday.

What this, like, for a little kids' show or something?

It sounds like my kindergarten songs of...

♪ Today is Monday, now it's Tuesday ♪

Rebecca Black, I didn't know my days of the week before,

and now I know them thanks to her.

(FineBros) What about the guy

in the middle of the video that started rapping?

I have no idea.

"Yeah, I'm a gangster wannabe."

A black rapper and then some teenager singing?

I think they're trying to make a girl version of Justin Bieber.

I think he just wanted to take over.

Does his mom know that he's doing that?

(FineBros) What do you think about all the mean things

that are being said about Rebecca?

Well... they're all true.

She's tormenting little children

when you listen to her eerie witch voice.

(FineBros) But does she deserve it? Is it her fault?

For some reason, everything is her fault.

Why is Gaddafi killing his own people?

Oh, it's Rebecca Black's fault!

(FineBros) What if I was to tell you

that this song was written, produced, and uploaded to YouTube

by a company that charged her parents thousands of dollars

to make it for her, under the guise

that it's gonna be an awesome video?

Well, that'd be bad. If I was the parents, I would sue.

I think they're just trying to make money. That's really mean.

It's just not right. They're scamming her.

(FineBros) Does that change the way you feel about Rebecca?

Yeah. Now I feel more understanding.

Yeah, I feel bad for her, because now she has to sing

this really dumb song that no one likes.

Now I feel kinda sympathy for her,

because everyone hates her because of that company.

She didn't want to do it! She didn't want to look like an idiot!

I'm sorry, Rebecca.

(FineBros) Do you want to make one of these music videos?

No, thank you!

No. No, please.

Yeah, I mean... if I didn't have to pay.

I don't want my parents paying thousands of dollars

for a sucky video.

(FineBros) That company comes to you and says,

"Hey, Jake, want to make a video?"

- (makes smacking sound) - (FineBros laugh)

(FineBros) What do you think's gonna happen to her career?

What happens now for Rebecca Black?

♪ Wah, wah, wah! ♪

(makes whistle, explosion sound)

Oh, no. People are gonna hate her and...

she's gonna grow up.

I think she may get more famous by writing more bad songs.

If I was her, I would be like, "Okay. I'm gonna make a video

and apologize to the people that I've tortured,"

and then be like, "Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

This song-- it probably made a thousand people throw up,

and I'm a horrible singer," and all that.

(FineBros) And you'd forgive her?

No.

- Thanks for watching. - Thanks for watching!

Let me know of videos I should watch next.

Try to find a video I haven't seen.
