I'm slightly obsessed with Rebecca Black

For what it's worth she's 13 and from Anaheim Hills (an upscale area a few miles from me).

There was a whole profile of her in my local paper (Orange County, CA) that filled in some of the story.

Here's the link if you want to waste any more time on this....

OK, I expect to get a lot of hate making this point but here goes nothing...

Rebecca Black is heavily mocked for her lyrics discussing the mundane and day to day, however are they really that different to the great poets and genius musicians that are Damon Albarn and Ray Davies in their discussion of the mundane and day to day.

1st verse of Blur - Fool's Day

Wake up straight

Called out by the sun

On the first day of April

Out of bed

Lord, it was a plane crash

But I’m sure that I was dreaming

TV on,

Of course caffeine and signs

Of submission again

Another day

On this little island

Just a bell hangs on

1st verse of The Kinks - A well Respected Man

'Cause he gets up in the morning,

And he goes to work at nine,

And he comes back home at five-thirty,

Gets the same train every time.

'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality,

It never fails.

1st Verse of Rebecca Black - Friday

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'

Tickin' on and on, everybody's rushin'

Gotta get down to the bus stop

Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)

I would like to emphasise that Rebecca Black is hideously untalented and that Albarn and Davies are the finest musicians of our time.

BUT is anyone wiser to me as to why Albarn & Davies are geniuses for discussing the mindane, whereas RB is mocked for being unimaginative and disgraceful. Anyone?

what utter tosh !

[Nixy]

And this is why I love the internet people will seriously discuss the lyrical merits of Black v. Albarn v. Davies

It's a wonderful world

Carry on with lyrics and the others and you will soon see why I get what your saying though in a way,alot of others are have done the same for some song but for me its the autotune, repetiveness and terrible english, that all if she wrote it herself its not really that bad for a 13 year old but should it have got that sort of attention and such.

Rebecca couldn't decide which seat to take because she was completely blazed. Starting every day with a bowl seriously affects your cognition.
