Handsome Mike's Acting Masterclass. Rebecca Black's 'Friday' is a modern day marvel... a piece that speaks to each and every member of the populace on an almost spiritual level.
The simple words on the page can elicit a deep emotional response from a reader, to couple this with the talent and presence of one such as Handsome Mike is to... well... here, in his video, you can see for yourself.

Powerful Stuff.

(Apologies for the crappy audio)

Should you wish to use this for an audition piece I have included the script below. Moving.

7am, 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 (My friends)

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

It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend

Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin' forward to the weekend

7:45, we're drivin' on the highway
Cruisin' so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My friend is by my right
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

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

Here's the original, in it's frankly touching original form...

  • Oh man, this is funny. I've watched it more than any other parody. I honestly think it will outlast them all.

    I just watched the original "Wicker Man" and somehow ... I think this could have been an excerpt .

  • @averyellis That's really kind of you, thanks!
