It’s Friday! (in Chinese)

So a week ago I translated Rebecca Black’s infamous song “Friday” into Mandarin Chinese and uploaded my version of it to YouTube. Never did I imagine it would be watched by so many people and I have all of you to thank for that!  Even British tabloid Daily Mail wrote a positive article about it which I thought was pretty crazy!

Yes, I know. A picture of me and Rebecca Black is certainly not the first thing that comes to mind. But because of you guys the video racked up over 100,000 views while garnering a view YouTube honors in less than 2 days![](/attachments/2011/05/06/07/213145_201105060703013.png)

I’ve also received comments that people are using the video in Chinese class as an education tool :) .  It seems pretty crazy to me but I’m glad that something I found amusing, is also amusing a lot of other people, too:). To all the new listeners out there, please take the time and check out my other music stuff on YouTube: www.youtube.com/dawen It’s totally different from the Friday vid.

And to the steady fans pre-RB (Rebecca Black), thanks as always! I’m using this coming summer to work on a new album so check back soon!
