As a last defense of sanity?
OK, found the producer info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Jey
And somebody is having a bit of fun... :laugh:
--- Quote ---Since 2010, Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson have collaborated in creating music for Ark Music Factory and it's artists.
Jey and Wilson also penned and produced the song "Friday", sung by one of Ark Music Factory's artists, Rebecca Black. The music video has become a viral sensation, but only after comedian Daniel Tosh posted it on his blog with the title "Songwriting Is Not For Everyone". The lyrics to the song Friday are commonly misunderstood and thrown off to be an example of bad songwriting. These lyrics are however about the recent democratic uprising in the Middle East. Friday, is actually pronounced Freeday and Mrs Black sings of the day where all people shall be free to live their lives. The main area of contention in the song is the question of whether to 'chill' in the 'front seat' or sit in the 'back seat'. This is a parody of International forces wondering whether to support the uprisings and sit in the back seat or to support the dictators in the 'front seat' in favour of stability. In the end International powers choose to support the rebels and Rebecca chills with her 'friends' in the back. There is no doubt that the international community is looking forward to the day the Middle East will be free, 'Friday' if you will.

That's the funniest damn Wikipedia trolling I've read in a while. Mostly because Wikipedia tends to be fast about covering up trolling these days.
Guess no mods give a fuck about Clarence 'Crimes Against Music' Jey.

I'm not really sure what the big deal is about ARK music factory. They look to be the latest in a long tradition of song poem manufacturers. Back in the day you would see an ad on the back of a magazine for a "songwriting contest", you sent in a certain amount of cash and a lyric sheet, and the company (usually just one guy) would compose a simple tune, record the lyrics over it, press a vinyl single and send it to you. Every once in awhile they would create an LP compilation of songs people would send in.
I looked around for it, and PBS made a documentary about the Song Poem legacy. It's really interesting!

David_Dovey:
Any time, Anna. You can re-pay us by recording some songs and putting them somewhere where I can pay money to listen to them, if you'd like.

Just now realised that Friday is actually a heaven sent miracle, in that it's the meme that's finally replacing Druggy Woman-Beater Self-Consciously Spouts Self-Aggrandising Nonsense as the center of the collective Internet hive-mind's limited attention span.
Salut, Rebecca Black! You are not Charlie Sheen!
