Miley Cyrus song Party In The USA new Osama bin Laden celebrity death anthem?
[May 7]
Add to the list of the accomplish for Miley Cyrus the title of Osama bin Laden killer. At least that’s what some fans are suggesting after hearing the teen star celeb singer’s hit, Party in the USA. There’s a Facebook fan page with over 14,000 likes recommending the hit song to be the theme song for Osama bin Laden’s funeral, according to website Zimbio.
Columbian Missourian has reported on student celebrations at Missouri University:
Soon after [Osama bin Laden’s death], students started celebrating all across campus, from outside Ellis Library to Greektown. Students in Johnston Hall cheered out windows at people passing below on Rollins Street, where cars packed with cheering students rolled by — more than one of them playing Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA” from their windows.
Miley herself hasn’t had anything to say about the phenomenon. Certainly she didn’t intend for the summer pop song to be associated with the death of the world’s most notorious terrorist. But fans across the country have adapted the song to be the de facto theme song for the funeral of Osama bin Laden.
The YouTube page for the song has been flooded with Osama bin Laden comments, ranging from “Miley Rocks!!” to “Miley killed Osama!” Another was a bit more realistic, although one could detect the excitement in the air surrounding the pop song. “LIKE THIS COMMENT IF WATCHING THIS VIDEO IS LITERALLY THE FIRST THING YOU DID AFTER YOU LEARNED OSAMA WAS DEAD,” one poster wrote.
