It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday...

If you haven't heard Rebecca Black's Friday then you're lucky.

Black's song is like a bad prank because it can get stuck in your head on constant repeat. With some songs that's not a bad thing but when the song's lyrics are as flat as:

7am, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’

and

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

it can get pretty irritating singing it over and over again... especially because it's unintentional. Rebecca Black's song didn't start out on the radio it was originally only on YouTube but after gaining more than 77,000,000 hits it's now available to buy on iTunes. The ironic thing is its popularity isn't because it's a good song it's because it's bad.

Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Fallon explained that Stephen Colbert had lost a bet and would now perform the infamous song: Friday. Watch the video for explanation of the bet and for an epic performance of the worst song of 2011... so far...

HILARIOUS!!! :) I think I can name an even worse song though... How about Francesca Battestelli's "This is the Stuff." Oh man, that song is the WORST!!!
