Rebecca Black, for all of her ills, seems to have started a “let’s a make a horrible song for fun” phase. I’m not sure what else explains the “I’m on G+ (gee plus)” video that’s making the rounds on, you guessed it, Google+ (hat-tip to Whitney Pannell for pointing this out).
It’s a silly song done very much in the ARK Music Factory style, and while it has a number of dislikes, considering it’s not a serious approach — that is, it’s trying to have some fun with Google+ — perhaps some are missing the point. The parody was developed by the Hanson Dodge Creative group, and it’s a nice play on the bubble gum music sensation that’s taking over the world. Watch the video and see if you agree:
I can’t lie, it’s catchier to me than anything that’s ever come out of ARK Music — um, is that an appropriate use of the word “music?” Sorry, Rebecca. But then again, it’s doubtful “I’m on G+” will get the same kind of pageviews Miss Black is accustomed to. In fact, it may not even approach Lexi St. George status, either, which is still hovering around the 200,000 mark. Currently, “G+” has a little over 3000 view. Keeping with the ARK Music Factory tradition, somewhat, anyway, is the amount of dislikes relative to the amount of likes.
In the case of “I’m on G+,” it has 121 likes and 42 dislikes.
It’s also worth pondering if the Bieber crowd actually got a hold of this song, would they make it popular, just like they do with Rebecca Black? It’s an avenue worth pursuing, especially when you consider the amount of views a Rebecca Black song gets. Speaking of, her new song has over SIX MILLION views, although, the dislike amount is approaching “Friday” status, earning a hefty 255,062 turned-down thumbs.
Clearly, “I’m on G+” has a lot of work to do. Check out the lyrics and and you’ll see it fits quite well in the “pop music” genre:

Perhaps these guys should start their own hit factory, but only if they focus on e-business-related topics.
