Rebecca Black: The Parody

Well, I don't need to tell you that their has been an explosion of views for one young girl on Youtube. Rebecca Black's 'Friday' or 'Fried egg' as many have dubbed it. At this point in time, Friday has 43,576,329 views, and it's still rising. The negative feedback is increasing. The original video has 573,788 dislikes to 67,570 likes. I find it funny that people hate it with such a passion. Now whats strange about this is the fact that her music video was posted months back and has only recently come to light. 

Once I watched this video I had to start searching for parodies, and I have been extremely Surprised by the quality of them. Youtube parodies aren't usually this good. The first spoof I came across is...

I found this one absolutely hilarious, not only for the one liners "Everybody's Russian" and "My hand is a DOLPHIN" but also the voice dub sounds exactly like Christopher Walker. I hate to break it to but this isn't Walker, it isYoutube's man of a kajilion voices Brock Baker. There are a lot of these voice overs but this one of the best ones so far. 


The next video completely changed my impression of this teen friendly pop song. It gave it a parental warning feel.

I can't listen to the original now with out filling in the blanks if you know what I mean. Its refreshingly original and really funny. However due to popular demand from the comments of this video, brenderp's (the creator of this video), posted this...

A little harsh but still clever, although I couldn't listen to it all the way through, I think I would go insane because of that high pitched beep.

Finally, I saw this one while scrolling through the favourites of another Youtuber.It sounds exactly like Elmo and is full of great comic timing. This video was made by JazzaStudios.

I can't help feeling like there is gonna be a hell of a lot more of these parodies. To be honest I can't see them getting any better... 

Now I guess if you have read this short blog you could be wondering how I feel about the song. Like many people, the first time I listened to the song I didn't know what to think. I had to listen to it a second time just to make sure I had heard it right. I'm not in love with the song but she defiantly understood her market (teen pop) and really gets how to make a catchy song. I don't know if she wrote it, but its a song that you won't forget.
