      Gluuteny frosts their cupcakes in a similar fashion. It’s a common technique for fancy bakery cupcakes.

I think you’re giving Rebecca Black a lot of credit. Also, for those claiming the production value is high, it really isn’t. The audio enginieering is pretty decent, that’s about it.

FWIW: I’ve watched three* times to make sure — I think there’s some sort of sexual innuendo going on here.

* only watched it half a time.

I think she’s funny, but this lacks the confidence and sexual maturity of Khia I’m sorry to say.

I suspect she is not referring to a baked good, as it were.

After watching this three to many times, which is to say thrice, I think the part I like best is how she can’t quite keep up with her own dance moves. And now I have to go kill myself to clean my brain out. I think… I think that will make it better some how…

*whimpers*
wrybread

Frickin awesome song, hilarious video. She’s not trying to make a highbrow masterpiece, she’s trying to make a fun dance floor hit, and I think she did. At a minimum she made a viral video, which is probably more profitable anyway.

And a nice consequence of the collapse of the music industry is low budget stuff like this that has to rely purely on talent. And muffins.

  talent?

  - wrybread
    
    Its fair to say you don’t like it, but in my opinion to say its sucks you need to judge them against what they’re trying to accomplish. Can you think of a recently produced song and video that’s a better example of put-a-smile-on-everyone’s-face-and-drag-them-onto-the-dancefloor, and with a hilarious video to boot? I sure can’t, but I’d love to see a few contenders.

I don’t think we’ll ever see hacks like Charlotte Church or Dawn Upshaw performing work of this refinement. No, it takes a certain… je ne se quois for a lady to publicly sing such dynamic pieces as “Pound On My Muffin” or the perennial classic, “Smell Yo Dick.”
- Wreckrob8
  
  That’s unfair on Dawn Upshaw to bracket her with Charlotte Church – although maybe Charlotte Church’s recording company is responsible for some of her less happy public appearances, or maybe it’s her choice of boyfriends. Even so, their relative repertoires bear no comparison.
hypnosifl

Deuces!

I don’t quite understand what’s going on in the scene towards the end with the guy “rapping” and all the girls at the table. It looks like they’re all…playing with stickers? Then at 3:03 there’s a shot with some brightly-colored crystals on a scale…and a girl at 2:56 seems to be cutting a line of bright pink powder…all appears to be some kind of drug references but are there any real drugs that would look like that, or is this like a surreal crossbreeding of drugs with candy? Maybe once she realized that sweets could be used as a metaphor for other things she felt like there were no limits to where she could go with it!
- noah django
  
  was scratching my head over that, too. “why are they putting quartz and amethyst crystals on that triple-beam?” maybe it’s rock candy (get it?) metaphorical drugs alongside metaphorical sex? i suppose we are accusing them of mixing metaphors; undoubtedly they’d respond with “dealing drugs is hip hop, son! we keep it urban, yo!” guru and heavy d are spinning in their graves.
