A song of this caliber could be produced by none other than the Byrds. Bless you for posting this, I haven't heard this in many long years.

@BryceBryceBaby93 You are so welcome. When was the first time you heard this song, if you don't mind me asking?

[oldjew1]

@PeaceLoveByars No, the Byrds didn't write it, they just covered Bob Dylan's wonderful song about social responsibility and the Civil Rights Movement in the Sixties ("kicking in the front seat, kicking in the back seat, which seat can I take?"...an obvious reference to Rosa Parks). The Ark Factory may now be trying to take credit for this Dylan masterpiece, but no one really believes their claim.

I don´t belive this has anything to do with the Byrds. rubbish!

@paintedship

Yes it does.

OHHHHH MYYYYYY GOSHHHH I THOUGHT REBECCA BLACK'S TERRIBLE PRODUCERS MADE UP THIS SONG!!?

- its terrible because of the way they auto tuned her voice not because of the lyrics-

[andromedarr]

@dominikcovic The video is taken from "Turn, turn, turn" and then slowed down. And they cut it in a way that they are kind of synced. But i think this song is really old, the lyrics have message if you put them in the 1960's and if not, the song sounds nice now.

[dominikcovic]

Come on, people, why do you believe, and what's even stranger, WHY DO YOU LIE? Didn't ''My Left Foot'' convince you this is fake? And just look at their mouths while they are singing Friday! The Birds are singing somethin else! Of course, I may be wrong, but this really seems obvious.

And now, I may expect some comments saying that I'm a fool who missed a classic. Well bring it on! Lies don't hurt me!

Through my drug-induced hazy memories of the 60s, this video is jogging a more than vague recollection...yeah, definitely. This happened.

[andromedarr]

@yourcivictv I heared it first when Rebecca Black came out with it...this is, as expected, soooo much better. And if you think about it, as it is produced in the 60's, it even has some pretty good message.

These comments are funnier than the video. Kudos.
