It's Monday and I'm Over It
On Friday afternoon, we posted about the painfully awful Rebecca Black song, "Friday."
I'm on the Internet all week. So when the weekend hits, I pull my router out of the wall and enter a two-day red wine and Valium-induced coma. I ended my workweek by putting "Friday" on Facebook, I shut down my computer and that was that.
But the Internet keeps rolling while I snooze, and a star was born. The original vid racked up over 2 million views. And here we are on Monday and Rebecca is still a trending topic on Twitter.
The web was flooded with earnest acoustic covers, remade music videos and all sorts of remixes.
Certainly it would be remiss of me to not provide at least a glimpse into all the fervor for those who didn't get their Rebecca Black fill over the weekend. So I've put together a round-up of some of the best and most bizarre "Friday" covers.
But then I think it's time to lay this one to rest. I was even inspired to write some parody lyrics of my own for a song called "Monday"…
It's Monday… Monday… I don't give a fuck on Monday…
Everybody's lookin' forward to the next thing… next thing…
Tons of links after the jump…

Want more? Oh, they're out there. Every remix your heart could desire: Assuming your heart is as black as Rebecca's last name.
Anyway, congrats, Rebecca, you're a star. Give my regards to Tay Zonday.
