Lunch Club! The Guy Who Wrote Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ Is Back With A New Song About Chinese Food
I think we can all relate to this.
“After bowling, I go clubbing, then I’m hugging, then I’m hungry,” begins Alison Gold’s ‘Chinese Food’, the new soon-to-be-smash hit from Patrice Wilson, the songwriter/producer behind Rebecca Black’s infamous hate-anthem, ‘Friday’.
But while Rebecca Black was quite fairly mocked for mistakenly positing ‘Friday’ as the week’s ultimate party night (everybody knows you ‘gotta get down’ on Thursday, loser), ‘Chinese Food’ takes a less controversial stance: “I love Chinese food! Yeah!”, sings young Alison Gold, and the whole world has no choice but to nod in agreement, because what are you a racist or something? Chinese food is the best (well, after Korean food, obviously).
Of course, the internet has reacted with predictable vitriol to the song already. “Lol this is full of cultural stereotypes and racist embodiment. if you can’t see that, go fuck yourself.”, said YouTube commenter ‘The Phuzz. “Wow, this is terrible on so many levels. First, geisha is Japanese, and cultural appropriation is wrong, and racist. Also, the song is even worse than Friday if that’s possible”, said Buzzfeeed commenter Velvet Cyberpunk. Whatever, these people are probably just really hangry.
Besides the panda party and the bit where Wilson rhymes ‘broccoli’ with ‘Monopoly’, the best bit is when Gold does the ‘make-it-rain-on-strippers’ hand gesture while yelling “I love chow mein, chow-me-me-me-mein!” Geez, how does this girl eat chow mein? Her hands must get so dirty.
