Take a Minute is a daily post that will catch you up on Internet happenings on campus and around the world.
Whoever decided Thursday is the beginning of the weekend deserves not just a medal, but endless praise as well. Has such a simple idea ever had such a revolutionary impact on people everywhere? I think not.
I know University of Oregon fans everywhere are familiar with Supwitchugirl’s infamous songs showcasing their love for the Ducks. The original got so many plays in the dorms my freshman year I’m almost sick of it. Though I don’t think I’ll ever be able to hate it — it reminds me of Whip It. Anyway, my point is ever since Supwitchugirl came out with their classic songs, every other Duck fan thought they could do the same thing. So today I want to showcase the awful spinoffs and let my plea be known. Duck fans: please stop! Let’s start with one that isn’t that bad but should still embarrass Oregon fans everywhere:
Surprisingly the rapping isn’t that bad, but it’s clear these guys are trying way too hard and the result is an extremely corny music video. Let’s move on to possibly the most unoriginal idea ever:
Ugh, that’s just bad. I’ll take this opportunity to look at our demographics and point out that 99 percent of Oregon’s fan base should never try to rap. The next one might be the worst of all. It has to be a parody, but still come on! I half-supported SOPA, so videos like this could be taken down (starts at :50 mark).
Shout out to Duck TV because at least the production value on that one isn’t too bad, as for the rapping — That’s enough for now (ever). Let me know in the comments which one is the worst.
