Honestly I think this parody nonsense is absurd, the only thing this video has that hints at it being a parody is that it is an "imitation" of a musical composition. I don't think its worthy of being called an actual musical composition .

3. burlesque imitation of a musical composition.

I'm currently in the process of studying film editing and the more I see the video the more it strikes me that it is not professionally made. The camera equipment is very nice equipment I will admit, but the style in which the music video was editing strays so far from the norm of a professional quality music video. And then you consider the song... heavens whoever wrote that and thought it a fine piece of music has issues.

Honestly I think its just some girl who's parents have money and let her make a music video for her birthday or something. There is nothing wrong with that but the professional air of a music video isn't there. The fuss is undeserved imo.

Oh I hadn't seen this until right now, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NOHFy1Arf8&feature=rec-LGOUT-real_rn-3r-9-HM

Her parents paid for her to have the opportunity to make the music video... I would hate to toot my own horn but... *toot toot*.

Who is the fat George Clooney that slid in at the end, and why is he important?

Honestly, I didn't think it was that funny. Could have been better.

Taylor Hicks. Won American Idol awhile back, if memory serves. And yes, it was moderately funny, but I wish they had turned the ham up to 11.

I like all the parodies from it, but it wasn't a parody on her part. She's a tween, that likes to sing clean songs, that likes Justin Bieber. I don't much see a problem with her.

Plus, she didnt write the song. I'd make fun of the song writer long before I made fun of her.

You probably have to be an O&A listener to appreciate this one...

Y'all are a tough crowd. I thought the Colbert/Fallon/Hicks thing was great. Though I guess at this point so many parodies have been done that it has to be something mindblowing to get anyone's attention.

Just noticed this news item and decided to update the thread.

The central point of the article: The song has been taken off YouTube for the time being. People have decided that there's money to be made from the song after all, and they are breaking out the lawyers to fight over it.

The Fight Over ‘Friday’

Ark Music Factory, which is locked in a rights dispute with teen singer Rebecca Black over her viral video “Friday,” says it was “blindsided” by the recent decision to take the clip down from YouTube.

“We’re disappointed, having been in good faith negotiations with Rebecca Black and her representatives for months regarding any open issues,” an Ark Music representative said in a statement. “There’s been an ongoing, open dialogue with our company. So we were blindsided to get a Take Down Notice—with no notice–alleging copyright infringement instead of a call or email from Rebecca’s representatives.”

Black’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment.

Black and Ark Music are reportedly at odds over how the song–an unexpected viral hit–should be commercially exploited, and how the profits should be split. The video was briefly removed from YouTube reportedly due to a copyright claim filed by Black. Hours later, the video resurfaced as a director’s cut on Black’s Vevo page only to be removed again.

In its statement Ark said “we are going to continue to take the high road and work out the complaint as soon as possible so that the million-plus people who watch Friday for free each day can continue to enjoy the video.”

Using funding from her mother, Black recorded “Friday” with Ark Music basically as a vanity exercise, with little expectation that it would find an audience. It quickly went viral–although it was panned by most critics and many listeners, it was ironically embraced by others as the ultimate guilty-pleasure pop song. The track was re-recorded for the TV show “Glee,” and Black became a web star.
