#7: Thank God It's NOT Friday!
[I don't own Backyardigans or Rebecca Black or this song. Ok? Now, read!]
Setting: Pablo's House (bedroom)
(Pablo is sitting at his computer, looking in horror, at a popular music video)
Pablo- (groans) Why? Why? Why would anyone make a song so dumb and so annoying? Ugh…The others have to hear this. (dials a number on his phone)
Tyrone- (in his bedroom, watching TV, answers phone) Hello?
Pablo- Tyrone? It's me. Listen, get the others and come to my house.
Tyrone- Why? Is it snack time already?
Pablo- No. There's this video on YouTube that's really popular, but not so great. You guys have to see it for yourselves. It's just awful!
Tyrone- Uh, okay. See you soon.
Pablo- Bye! (hangs up)
[5 minutes later]
(everyone is seated in front of the computer)
Uniqua- Rebecca Black? Who is that?
Tasha- Is this a screamer, Pablo? I bet that you're trying to scare us!
Pablo- Now, why would I do that? Of course it's not a screamer!
Tyrone- Wow..So many views! She must be good.
Pablo- HA! Wait 'till you hear it. Your antlers will fall off.
Tyrone- (gasps) NO! (grabs antlers)
Austin- (rolls eyes) He's only joking, Tyrone.
Tyrone- (lets them go) I hope so.
Pablo- Ready guys? Here goes… (presses 'play')
[A/N: For those who haven't seen "Friday," DON'T! It's a nightmare! If you did see it, you can probably guess what their reaction will be. I'm not writing every single lyric, so basically, they're talking over the ones I didn't write. Got it? Have some fun, fun, fun, fun reading this!]
(the video starts)
Uniqua- (pointing at the screen) Is that her?
Pablo- Yep/
Tyrone- What's with the flashing lights? It can't be that big of a video!
Austin- It's not that bad so far, Pablo.
Pablo- She hasn't started singing yet, that's why.
(7:00 AM, waking up in the morning…)
Austin- Whoa!
Tyrone- Bed hair is even more scarier than I thought!
Uniqua- What is with her voice?
Tasha- She sounds like Roscoe! (giggles)
Tyrone- Wait. How's her hair perfect now after 5 seconds? And she's downstairs! I don't get it.
(Gotta get down to the bus stop….)
Uniqua- What? That was so quick!
Austin- (groans) Her voice annoys me and the song just started.
Pablo- Wait until the chorus…
Tasha- Wait. How old are they?
Pablo- A little older than us, but still shouldn't be behind the wheel.
Uniqua- Wasn't she waiting for a bus? This makes no sense!
(Which seat can I take?)
Tyrone- Wha-? Are you serious?
Tasha- Oh, for goodness sakes! Sit in the back!
Austin- What's wrong with her? If the front seats are taken, then there aren't many choices left!
Pablo- Here's the chorus, Austin. Brace yourself.
(Friday, Friday, getting down…)
Austin- Oh, no! It gets worse…
Uniqua- No one says 'Friday' like that!
Tasha- Pablo, this is torture!
Tyrone- Even we sing better songs than her!
Tasha- W-why is she singing about going to a party on a Friday? Did she skip school?
Uniqua- My mom wouldn't like it if I skipped school.
Austin- What's this? (points to screen) It skipped to night time?
Uniqua- (laughs) And what's with the girl on the left? She dances like this: (dances awkwardly) It's so silly!
(I got this, you got this, my friend is by my right…)
Tyrone- Then, who's the girl on the left? A complete stranger?
Uniqua- These are the worst lyrics ever…. (shakes head in dismay)
[after sitting through the chorus again, they get to the worst part of the song]
(Yesterday was Thursday…)
Austin- Really? Really, Rebecca?
Tyrone- We know our days of the week already!
(We, we, we so excited…)
Uniqua/Tasha- "We so excited"?
Tasha- Shouldn't it be "we're"?
Uniqua- This song is wrong in so many ways…
(Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards…)
Uniqua- (shakes head) Oh, no! Really?
Tyrone- (laughs) This is so ridiculous…
Austin- Remind me why this got so many views?
Pablo- It gets worse, guys…
[the rapper comes on]
Tasha- Who the heck is that?
Tyrone- No way! (laughs)
Uniqua- Does every video need a rapper to make it cool? This just ruined it!
Tasha- (looks closely at the screen) I-Is that Usher? Who is that?
Austin- Tasha, you know good and well that Usher doesn't rap.
Tyrone- Does it go back to that awful chorus again?
Pablo- Yeah…
Austin- (has had enough) OK That's it! Turn it off! Turn it OFF! I can't listen to that anymore! She's worse than that Beaver guy Tasha likes.
Tasha- That's Bieber!
Pablo- (turns video off) Well, what'd you guys think?
Tyrone- That was a very…weird song, don't you think?
Tasha- Yeah.
Uniqua- Sure was.
Austin- I couldn't agree more.
(silence for about 5 seconds)
Pablo- I have an idea! We should cover this song on the next Mega Music Fest! We'll be the first ones!
Uniqua- 2 things, Pablo: We'd probably get booed, and someone covered it already.
Pablo- Oh.
(awkward silence)
Austin- (sings softly) It's Friday, Friday- (clutches head) OH, NO!
Sorry for not getting part 2 of the Egg Hunt. It's coming! Be patient! Now, after part 2, I'm writing the extreme games. I need you all out there to come up with 3 things- any 3 things at all- and I will make it into a story! REVIEW!
