Redfoo Literally Can't Converse

Redfoo
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard started Scene Magazine in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford Comma – way too much fun at parties.

Redfoo's social media storm over his part in the wondrously atrocious 'Literally I Can't' — 2014's worst song of the year – doesn't appear to be one he's likely to ride out soon.


Or one that Channel 7 will either. At time of writing, Change.Org has secured 8,000 signatures in the petition 'You literally can't rehire Red Foo #literallyicant'. In no coincidence, embedded YouTube plays of the aural and social abomination "have been disabled by the video owner".

An example of the unusually high heat in the kitchen is to be found on [ed note: now defunct] The Dwarf web-site where the Foo's legal people demanded an apology of the publisher over a piece condemning the lyrics 24 hours earlier. 



While the internet laments and rails that this man can sell 34 million singles – and Channel 7 tries to work out how freakin serious the Interwebs is or isn't — we were more interested in the Redfoo's inability to literally converse. In other news we also feel sorry for David Koch and Sam Armytage.
