How not to compose a music video...

'Friday' by Rebecca Black


Published on 14th March 2011, Rebecca Black's video 'Friday' became one of the most talked about videos on the web. The song has received a great number of negative reviews, and even one critic (Lyndsey Parker from 'Yahoo! Music') stated that it could be the worst song ever. The lyrics (of which some are shown below) highlights this statement.
The editing techniques involved are poorly used. Most noticeably, the car scene at 2:30 - 2:49.

Seven a.m., waking up in the morning  
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal  
Seein' everything, the time is goin
' Tickin' on and on, everybody's rushin' 
Gotta get down to the bus stop 
 Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends

Kickin' in the front seat  
Sittin' in the back seat 
Gotta make my mind up  
Which seat can I take?
