"Partyin', Partyin', Yeah"

Here's a link to the best song ever -- Rebecca Black's "Friday."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0

When I listen to this, I keep asking myself why I didn't write this song.  The girl has 23 million hits.  The lyrics are ridiculous.  My favorite part is when she sings "Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday.  Today is Friday, Friday.  Tomorrow is Saturday.  And Sunday comes afterwards."  I hear that and I just want to ask her what her point is.

After listening to this nonsense, I decided to give myself a little test.  I'm going to take 10 minutes and see if I can come up with something better than Rebecca.  I just asked Jay for a random topic.  He gave me "a second chance."  The timer starts now.

Heading out on 32
Can't stop thinking about you
Wondering where it all went wrong

Punching the pre-sets on the radio dial
Can't find anything to make me smile
Still searching for that one good song

Yesterday, I thought you'd take me back
I'd done my best to make you laugh
But you wanted nothing to do with my second chance

I remember when things were good
You and I were doing the best we could
Thought things would never change

Now it's hard to remember when things were fine
You and me just seemed to run out of time
Can't even think how it got so strange

Yesterday, I thought you'd take me back
I'd done my best to make you laugh
But you wanted nothing to do with my second chance


Seriously, that was 10 minutes.  Jay's my witness.  It's only two verses but I don't think it's half bad.  All I need now is a catchy tune.  Watch out, Rebecca.
