I bet that title got your attention…pervert. The purpose of this post is to discuss music…not the weekend’s escapades. So for most of the day today Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” was stuck in my head. For all of you Freudians out there, there is no need to read in to that. It was stuck in my head because the kids on the next street decided to sing it over and over on their karaeoke machine in their backyard. Over and over. And over. After the 15th rendition that sounded exactly like every other attempt, I wondered why there hasn’t been a gender remix yet.
I actually just heard you say “huh?” so let me clarify. When Beyonce came out with “If I Were a Boy” it took all about 2 days for the “If I Were a Girl” remix with Lee Carr. So what kind of statement does it make about our society when there has yet to be “I Kissed a Boy” sung by someone with a Y chromosome? OK So it isn’t really a hot topic issue, but seriously! I would bet $1000 that if this song came out in the 80′s George Michael would be buying the remix rights faster than you can wake me up before you go go. But then Boy George would get in a fight with GM for the rights and would keep asking “Do you really want to hurt me?” (a little too dramatic…dontcha think) with FGTH in the corner saying RELAX! Maybe it’s a good thing that this song didn’t come out until 2008!
