Allow me to apologize in advance....

by Carmen Cruz

My coworker Miné had this stinking song stuck in my head ALL DAY.
I'd catch myself singing 'Friday, Friday' under my breath and then have the sudden overwhelming urge to punch myself in the throat.
It turns out that today is the one year anniversary of the day this musical gem was released into the world. It's been raping our ears ever since.
You know I've gotta do this..... sorry.



My favourite line?
Ohhhhh... that's a tough one. It's gotta be a toss up between, 'We, we ,we so excited' ~OR~ 'Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards.'

Oh Rebecca Black! Your lyrics have cut to the core of me.

Enjoy!
