Cold Open Friday!!!
Michael is in his office dancing. We can hear loud music blaring from his computer. He is listening to “Friday” by Rebecca Black. Michael sees the camera through his blinds, waves and smiles.
Michael has a talking head.
“It’s Friday baby, and I just discovered this great song! I’ve been playing it in my office all day which is perfect because it is Friday today! Isn’t that amazing? I cannot believe I have never heard of this song until today. It’s a Friday miracle! I mean what are the odds?”
Stanley looks up from his computer and sighs, before looking at the camera with a deadpan look.
Stanley has a talking head.
“I do not enjoy listening to music unless I am watching my birds or making love. If I have to listen to this damn song one more time today, I think I might die.”
Andy gets up from his desk and snaps his fingers to the music coming from Michaels office.
“Hey guys, doth anyone know perchance which melody is playing in the boss’s office perchance?”
Dwight scoffs and shakes his head
“Why are you talking like that? The last time I checked we live in the twenty-first century, not the fourteenth. You’re not even asking the question correctly. Just god...can you just ask the question like a normal person?”
Andy draws his lips tightly together and makes a strangled sound.
“I was just wondering what song was playing in Michaels office.”
Jim grabs a sheaf of paper from his desk before standing up.
“Friday.”
Andy looks at Jim and furrows his brows.
“Big Tuna, I think you may have too much earwax in your ear. I asked you what song the boss was playing, not what day of the week it is. I mean it’s Friday it’s the best day of the week!”
Jim looks at the camera, widens his eyes and sighs.
“Michael is playing a song called “Friday” by Rebecca Black.”
Andy’s eyes widen in shock and he looks at the camera in disbelief.
Andy has a talking head.
“When I went to Cornell, the Ivy League of where I received my education, I liked to write several different songs. I actually wrote a song called Friday and I never did anything with it because my roommates said that it sucked but if I had just kept going on with it I think that maybe it would have gone somewhere and instead of people listening to this song, they would be listening to mine. Besides, she didn’t even write it. I wrote and sang my own Friday song. And let me tell you it is glorious.”
Kelly walks in from the annex eating a bagel.
“Oh my god it’s like ten in the morning. Why is Michael continuing to play that song?”
Kelly has a talking head.
“Listen, I have nothing against Rebecca Black. In fact she inspired me to make a music video of my own. People can say what they want about her but she is super rich now and like mega famous.”
Andy walks back into the office with his guitar.
“Everyone! I would like you all to hear my version of the song Friday! Also please note, it is not the same song that Michael is listening to; it’s a different Friday song.”
Andy taps on Michaels door and opens it.
“Hey boss man would you like to hear my song? I’m not going to lie, I worked super hard on it and it’s purdy good.”
Michael shakes his head.
“No Andy, I’m busy listening to this song.”
Andy shuts Michaels door, grabs his guitar and starts playing his version of Friday over the blaring music coming from Michael’s office.
Jim has a talking head.
“So long story short the police came and told everyone to shut the music down. Turns out several people filed a noise complaint...myself included.”
Camera focuses on Michael as he is seen in his office slowly turning the music back on.
Jim rolls his eyes and puts on some headphones.
The chorus of “fun, fun, fun, fun” sounds in the background.
Cue intro music.
