Making My Mind Up: 2011's Single of the Year

In just a few months, the culture industry begins its ritual of sorting the last year's music into endless "Best of" lists. Those lists likely won't include Rebecca Black's cheesy, over-tuned accidental blockbuster, "Friday".

It's a mistake. "Friday" deserves to be the single of the year, if not the decade. Let me tell you why.
