In Honor of Friday

It is currently 12:04 AM which means it is officially Friday. Thank God. This has been one of the longest weeks of my life, simply because my already-abnormal-college-kid sleep cycle has been seriously screwed with by my trip to Costa Rica. A small price to pay for how awesome it was, but still.

In honor of the fact that it is now Friday, I am going to share something that lies very close to my heart. Move over, Justin Bieber! There's another teeny-bopper "musician" with inane, obvious lyrics out to spoon feed us repetitive lyrics.

The anthem of our youth.

SPOILER ALERT: Watch the video before reading what I have to say about it.

This video has gone viral, but not in a good way. More in a "Watch this. It's horrific." kind of way. I actually debated with myself whether or not I wanted to blog about it, for fear it would gain this song more attention. However, the part of me that wants to participate in a social commentary won out.

The things I find wrong with this video (besides the obvious musicality deficit):

1. The kids driving look twelve. In every other media depiction of high schoolers, twenty-five year old actors are used. This is why.
2. She doesn't use proper English by any stretch of the imagination.
3. I never went to a house party that cool when I was in high school.
4. Her biggest moral conundrum is whether or not to sit in the front or the back of the car.
5. She totally ditches out on her bus.
6. She needs to remind herself (and us) of the order of the days of the week.
7. It's Friday morning and she's already worried about her weekend ending.
8. It isn't imperative that you eat cereal for breakfast.
9. She wakes up with eyeliner on.
10. No. I don't know what IT is.
11. Wait. She wants time to fly?
12. What about the girl on her left? Apparently they aren't friends.
13. I still don't know IT.
14. Riding out the top of the convertible like that is dangerous.
15. "Sunday comes afterwards." Enough said.
16. What's with the awkward guy rapping in the middle of the song? He is entirely too old to be hanging out with a bunch of high school freshmen. There are a series of uncomfortable questions that need to be asked if he's cruising with them.

And I thought that what I listened to in 8th grade was bad...
