Simon Cowell, one of the judges of the American TV program ‘American Idol’, called the song “Friday” by Rebecca Black a 'hair-dryer' song. Hair-dryer song?
Simon Cowell explains what is a 'hair-dryer' song. He says that a 'hair-dryer' song is “a song girls sing into their hair dryers as they’re getting ready to go out”. Based on his definition the hair-dryer would be the microphone.
He also said the song “Friday” reminds another 'hair-dryer' song “Saturday Night” song by Whigfield (1994). Do you remember it? It follows below.
Something I thought funny is that both songs are titled by a day of the week: "Friday" and "Saturday night". And actually, these are the days girls most use their hair-dryers!!
Talking about hair-dryer I couldn’t help myself posting some hair-dryer cartoons:
