I had reservations about posting this because it is absolutely ridiculous, but after a little googling, I felt like it needed to be brought to the attention of IM followers.

So, you may or may not have seen the music video by Rebecca Black called, "Friday." If you have, bear with me. If not, it is a prime example of the terrible things that money will lead people to do. Basically, these guys make singles and music videos for rich parents' daughters.

The beginning of the video shows various song title's related to days of the week at the bottom of the screen. What shows up for Wednesday? "Listen to Wednesday's Song."

My first thought was, "wait is that song a cover?" But I don't believe it is. I think it is a genuine Frusciante reference.

Thoughts?!

Edit: I found this in another forum, "what the fuck why does that rebecca black video have a reference to a john frusciante song?"

Guess I'm not the first of 9.5+million people to notice it!

The best guess I can make is that they Googled song lyrics with names of the days of the week in them and just happened to have gotten Wednesday's Song.

Yeah it's funny.
It is probably a JF reference, but I also think they google it, it's so out of the context and I don't think it's very probable that they knew this song before.

I noticed this the day the video became a meme, but I didn't want to put that up as actual news on the site.

Haha. I noticed this when I watched it too and was thinking of posting something on here.
