Rebecca Black Is Still Out There Living Her Dream

Can you recall the name, or any of the relevant lyrics, from Ark Factory signee turned YouTube sensation Rebecca Black's second single? Quick refresher: It was called "My Moment"; it was a rejoinder to the "haters"; and it was an entirely forgettable three minutes of fauxspirational bubblegum pop. Say what you will about "Friday," Black's megaviral Internet hit, but it was certainly remarkable. The frontseat/backseat negotiations, the calendar explication, the bizarre driver rap — "Friday" gave us plenty of mundane absurdity (or profundity, depending on your perspective and/or intoxication level) to work with. With her latest single, "POI," Black wisely returns to the absurd: behold such lyrics as "there's a crime scene on the dance floor" and then, on the second verse, "There's a chalkline on the dance floor / in the shape of my heart." "POI," in case you were curious, stands for "Person of Interest," and the song was surely written during an episode of Law & Order: SVU. It's not unclever, exactly. And at least it is not a song about Polynesian food? (Actually, who are we kidding; we would totally listen to a Rebecca Black song about Polynesian food.)
