About that new Katy Perry Song...

Fun Fact: Katy Perry has a cat named Kitty Purry, but that's besides the point.

Her latest song is pretty catchy to listen to on the radio, it's the kind of song that gets in your head and drives you crazy, and for some reason I have a lot to say about it.

First: Why are there so many songs about California?
Popular songs too - a few come to mind off the top of my head: California Girls, Californication, Dani California, California Dreamin', California (Phantom Plant song). I can't only think of one song that's kind of about Mass - Homecoming King by Guster, but then again there are a lot of songs about Boston. In terms of the state though, not so much

Second: Why is the video a "California" Candy land?
It doesn't really even go with the lyrics that much, and it's really weird. I thought this video was going to be Katy Perry doing a old school beach party movie kind of theme going on. However, seeing Snoop Dogg in a suit made out of a cupcake patterned fabric is kind of awesome

Third: Holy crap there are a lot of parodies of this song!
Two about Jersey Guidos and "gurls" from Florida, Oklahoma, Iowa, Philly, New York, Minnesota, Atlanta Boyz, California Dorks... and it goes on and on

This one is actually makes fun of California Gurls, which I kind of like - especially since the C's lost to LA last night...apparently these people make lots of vids too...
