I feel so bad for this girl!! I would be embarrassed.
This video was made by a big company (Ark Music Factory) that makes music videos for kids and teenagers. Kind of like those booths in the mall way back when where you could tape yourself singing in front of a screen and then you would get a "music video" or cassette of yourself just for fun. She's not trying to be famous, her parents probably got her this as a birthday present.
What's scary is how much they probably spent on this!

I personally was chortling at the bus stop sign.
This girl probably has one of the worst voices ever. The "tomorrow is Saturday" part is hilarious though and everyone's going to be saying it - it's the new WINNING.

GOD. Maybe Rebecca and LFO can collaborate.

I'm just glad that Rebecca Black isn't Black.
And I liked LFO. They probably knew their songs were dumb. They are what The Jersey Shore dudes would be if they had a singing group. R.I.P. Rich Cronin.
Don't be too hard on the nonBlack Rebecca Black. She's a kid and she's enjoying receiving notoriety for doing nothingness. Kids want to do nothingness.

First I've heard of her, here.
I would say that she looks like a Drag Queen on her tour poster, except I don't want to insult Drag Queens. 
ETA: Damn you guys, I just went and listened to it!! If my scissors had been within reach, I think I would have stabbed myself to make it stop. She makes Jessica Simpson seem like a Mozart level prodigy.

First time I listened to it, I thought it was a parody or spoof of some sort, but when I realized that it was real, I had no words for how disappointed I am.
It seems like these days, becoming a famous performer is more sure than joining a Greek organization; here are the list of requirements:
1.) Look better than average.
2.) Know someone in the recording industry.
3.) Sing some catchy song written by someone already in the industry.
4.) Have enough thick skin to accept being ridiculed.
Just like with a bunch of architecture, I think this represents a shift of music from art into a product. Of course, good music will still exist, but in smaller numbers and only for those who really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, it looks like Rebecca Black is the shining star in the Ark Music Factory stable.

A former student of mine asked if she was singing "Fried egg, fried egg".

LOL @ these 6 comments:
(1) omfg.it's just kind of funny how bob dylan can make this sound so deep, but of course rebecca black is a whole different story. omfg i still can't believe it...
(2) My weird Uncle Bill has a bootleg copy of Dylan doing a duet with Cher of this song at a 1970 concert in Pittsburgh. I'll have to ask him if he can dig it out of his attic.
(3) This song makes tugs on the heartstrings in a way no other song can. Personally, it was what my wife and I danced to at our wedding - our first dance.
It took on a whole new perspective in 82' when my wife died of an drug overdose. Dylan is pointing out how people feel invincable when they are on drugs (gotta have my cereal) and knock it back like nothing.
It is a true classic which will never be forgotten. Thank you Bob.
(4) You could at least TRY to make it sound even remotely like Bob Dylan. This sounds like it was made by someone that's never heard a Dylan song in their life. The guitar sounds like a Bon Jovi ballad.
(5) Bob Dylan is a lyrical genius! Rebecca Black made a pretty bad cover of this true classic.
(6) hahahaha some people in these comments are the dumbest fucking retards ever.
