#1 Most Favorited Video in New Zealand: Matt Mulholland's Cover of Rebecca Black's "Friday"



Matt Mulholland Brings Us the First Genuinely Good “Friday” Cover
by Ray Padgett at Cover Me

In a rare display of web-wide agreement, folks all over the Internet have come together in the past couple weeks to boldly declare one thing: Rebecca Black’s “Friday” is a terrible song. And like most terrible songs, it’s generated tons of hilarious – but equally terrible – covers. Finally, however, the first genuinely good cover has emerged. Don’t worry, though – it’s plenty funny too.

YouTube cover boy Matt Mulholland brings to the table what most of his peers cannot: a straight face. You can tell that, though you wouldn’t call this sincere exactly, he wants to make a song worthy of repeat listens. The dramatic piano chords and emotive vocals make a song about which car seat to choose all Phantom of the Opera-intense. It reminds me of that Dido hook in the Eminem song at first, before the “Love Lockdown” drumming drops. Is it the funniest cover out there? Maybe not. But it’s definitely the one you’ll come back to. Watch the video and download the MP3 below.

Check out more Matt Mulholland on YouTube. His recorder cover of “My Heart Will Go On” is a thing of twisted beauty.

Was Rebecca Black's "Friday" Inspired by the Black Eyed Peas?




The Songwriters of "Friday" may have been inspired by the Black Eyed Peas. Both Artists draw heavily on "the days of the week" for subject matter.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
(Do it!)
Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday
(Do it!)
Get, get, get, get, get with us, you know what we say, say
Party every day, p-p-p-party every day



- The Black Eyed Peas: I Gotta Feeling


Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin’)
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after … wards
I don’t want this weekend to end

-Rebecca Black: Friday




Regardles of where the inspiration lies, both songs are good reminders that there are days in the week. Let's not take that for granted.
