2012, what the hell is happening. I found this on barstool and spent 3:38 watching the above video and we can all agree it is reminiscent of Friday by Rebecca Black. This video is an example of the trashiest music to date. Using autotuned 13 year old girls, pop beats, and the stupidest topic for a song are reasons why this makes me cringe. Plus the producer or creepy black guy who is hanging around this video is really, really, really pedophile-ish. Here are some sample lyrics:
December was Christmas
January was New Years
April was Easter
and the 4th of July but now is Thanksgiving
I will say though that a turkey leg as a microphone is original. I think this is a sad example of using children. What happened to days when kids were kids and used their own talents and ability. This is an example of a producer who is manipulating the idea of turning kids into pop stars for his own personal gain. I wouldn’t have a problem with this if the end result was something, for lack of a better word, good. Do you know how difficult it is to get a million views on youtube? This video is actually successful. That’s where I have a problem because it’s bad beyond comprehension. At least when Britney did Hit Me Baby One More Time it was like a real song. Not some two bit operation production youtube company exploiting children. This is bad people, real bad.
If girls are going to keep making videos like this at least be 18+ so there’s something to look at. Otherwise, the person I watched this with said it best “it was stressful watching that”.

“The person you need to blame/thank for all this is Patrice Wilson. He’s the guy who produced both “Friday” and “It’s Thanksgiving,” and he has cameos in both videos. And he’s the one making cash money at the expense of your sanity.
However, I’m also here to tell you that (sigh) he’s actually a pretty good dude.”
