An American Classic: Bob Dylan’s Original Version of "Friday," the Song Rebecca Black Ruined

Racking up millions of YouTube views and mentions on celebrity gossip sites like this one, Rebecca Black’s “Friday” has become an instant Internet sensation. Little did we know it was just a Bob Dylan cover sung by a no-talent hack. The legendary singer of “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Like a Rolling Stone,” “The Times They Are a-Changin'” and other American anthems has such an incredible resume, some of his works are lost in the shuffle, hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Maybe now, “Friday” will be recognized among Dylan’s greatest hits: Bob Dylan – Friday (Made Famous By Rebecca Black) Follow the jump for Rebecca Black’s unbearable version … Rebecca Black – Friday THG NOTE : Obviously this is not a real Bob Dylan song. It was recorded by some dude after Black’s nonsense came out. But the guy’s good, you gotta admit. Tell us you don’t die laughing every time “Bob” sings the refrain, “partyin’ partyin’ yeah.” We’ve never appreciated the existence of weekends quite so much.

Chris Brown Denies Smoking Weed and Driving

Chris Brown deserved a lot of the criticism he received for what he did to Rihanna two years ago, but people are just itching to jump on him for anything . First there was the twisted “mishap” remark . Now it’s a story and photo of the R&B star driving and smoking that caused an uproar in the last few days. The short version is that celebrity news and photo agency X17 Online implied Brown was smoking a marijuana joint while driving. That would be bad. Too bad (for the haters) that it wasn’t true. Brown’s rep, in no uncertain terms, flatly squashed the site’s report and clarified the singer’s actions. Soon enough, the photo in question was taken down. “The report made by X17 Online on March 14, 2011, headlining ‘Is Chris Brown Half-Baked Behind The Wheel?’ is false,” his rep exclusively told E! News. “The picture shows Chris Brown with a Davidoff mini natural pack mild cigarillo. The same cigar he held in the photo of his In My Zone mixtape CD cover.” There you go. A legal substance (as was the salvia being smoked in the Miley Cyrus bong video ) and another false bit of Chris Brown gossip debunked.
