看时代杂志如何毒舌点评脑残歌

杭州泰弗尔英语

Amid all the real news, you might just have heard about the Internet's other weekend obsession: Rebecca Black and her hilariously dreadful video for "Friday".
一个星期各种重大新闻，不过除了这些，你肯定也知道13岁的Rebecca Black那首新MV Friday，真是太脑残了！
What makes this song and video so bad? Rebecca Black is an innocent-looking teen with a Selena Gomez-esque look. And "Friday" seems like a catchy pop song about a teenage girl's excitement over the weekend, which is pretty standard teen pop fare and not exactly a place you'd look for profound lyrics. But once you listen to the lyrics, you start to realize what a train wreck we're really dealing with.
为什么说这首歌和这支MV很脑残呢？Rebecca也就是一个13岁的孩子，长得有点像Selena Gomez，这首Friday唱的不过是小女孩对周末的期待和兴奋之情，反正不指望这样的歌能有什么深刻的内涵了，但是你真的仔细去听歌词的话，绝对会惊呼一声：我去！这什么玩意啊！
$ A3 z) g& |1 Z, k, E, h6 I. s; v& Y$ `For starters, there's the opening verse, which is just a straight up narration of what Rebecca's morning routine consists of ("Gotta get down to the bus stop/ Gotta catch my bus/ I see my friends"). Then there's Rebecca's apparent obsession with choosing a spot in the car, which also adds the song's riveting central conflict ("Kicking in the front seat/Sitting in the back seat/ Gotta make my mind up/ Which seat can I take?"). But the song's lowest point (albeit its most hilarious) is when Rebecca literally just sings the days of the week ("Tomorrow is Saturday/ And Sunday comes afterwards").
这首歌开头唱的是早晨的各种琐事：要起床啦赶公交啊~公交站上遇到了朋友们；然后开始纠结是不是要上朋友的车：到底是坐在前面呢还是坐在后面呢？嗯要好好决定啊，到底坐哪里？最搞笑也最不可理喻的地方就是她开始唱：明天是星期六，后天就是星期天。
1 T0 m! V6 `9 IYikes! Clearly, we're dealing with a whole new level of bad. According to Black Book, the song comes from a company called Ark Music Factory, which is based in L.A. and seems to specialize in teen girl pop music--their website has a whole roster of laughably bad teen pop videos.

It's not apparent if "Friday" was intended to be a parody of a pop song or not (we doubt it, though we really hope it was). After all, the video has already been viewed more than 2 million times; it's out there and it's a joke, whether that's how it was intended or not. And seeing how it's available as a ringtone and soon to be available on iTunes, we don't see it going away anytime soon. Sure, Rebecca Black won't be the next Miley Cyrus (though that's not a bad thing) but she could have a future in comedy.
真希望这首歌只是对流行音乐的一个反讽，不过我们对此表示深切怀疑。不管怎么说这首歌现在红了，MV的观看量超过两百万，成为手机彩铃音乐，而且itunes上马上就会有得下了。可以肯定的是Rebecca不会成为下一个Miley Cyrus，她倒是可以考虑往谐星的方向发展。
