Rebecca Black's 'Friday' Video Pulled from YouTube
Rebecca Black's 'Friday' Pulled From YouTube
Jun 17, 2011 by Natalie Abrams Even though it's Friday, we can't even celebrate properly by watching Rebecca Black's 'Friday' video online. Black's lawyers had the video pulled from YouTube, claiming Ark Music Records, the studio Black used to record her song, is trying to capitalize on the young internet star's 15 minutes of fame and had never released the master recordings of 'Friday' to her, according to Reuters. Black, 13, became an overnight phenomenon after her YouTube video of 'Friday' got 7 million hits in just a few days. Two weeks later, it had more than 67 million views, but a combination of harsh criticism (Billboard called the song "straight out of Auto-Tuned hell"), sheer curiosity and schadenfreude may have attributed to that number. Despite the naysayers, the infectious song has inspired a number of covers (notably by "Glee" and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon) and countless parodies. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Rebecca-...y-1034334.aspx |

The guy who wrote the song (the creepy guy who raps in the middle of it, and who's now on the other side of Rebecca Black's dispute) was my boss about ten years ago when I worked at AOL. True story! Imagine my surprise when I first saw the video.

No, he was actually a really nice guy. He fancied himself an R&B singer, so he'd often sing in the office, or show us the CDs he recorded (his music was terrible then, too).
