A few weeks ago a little known 13 year old girl from California, with dreams of becoming a pop star, released a track called “Friday”, and in no way could she have imagined or anticipated the chaos that was to follow. Recorded on LA based vanity label Ark Music Factory, the track was uploaded onto Youtube in February initially, and became a viral sensation in March, receiving more attention than anyone could ever have expected. Millions of hits were received in a matter of days, and the media storm that has followed has been quite something.
Friday is without a doubt one of the worst songs ever put to record. The lyrics are quite frankly ridiculous throughout, and it is just all shades of awful. So much so that it is hard to tell whether it is just a piss-take or if the heavily auto-tuned song is for real.
That guy in the car doing the god awful rap is just too much!
As of March 26th, only a few weeks after it was released and uploaded, the video clip has attracted hits of around 53 million and counting. A viral phenomenon and has become one of the most infamous songs and videos ever.
She has certainly made the world sit up and take notice, and word on the street is that it could be well on its way to being the most viewed Youtube clip in history. You definitely wouldn’t bet against it right about now, that’s for sure!
