Who’s a sucker for pop? *raises hand*. Let’s all just accept that through our clouds of pretension when we’re in our rooms at home listening to the radio (wait. ray deee oh? what’s the eff is that) we move just a bit to the catchy tunes of popdom. Remember that Aussie turned Brit we blogged about? Good ol’ Sammy Sparro has a cover by the controversial popstar Katy Perry.
Controversial is a lame term but that’s what the public has smeared her with due to the summer classic “I kissed a Girl” about a same sex encounter and a previous LP (from last year) entitled Ur So Gay. Isn’t that the way to reach the mass media though? Controversy enabled her to launch herself into pop stardom and I couldn’t be much happier =)
I’m a sucker for wispy female vocals esp from hawties
Do you think she’s a talented singer or is she trying to hard in her cover of Sammy?
Have you listened to the radio lately? Sometimes my ears cannot believe what they are hearing.
Example 1
Katy Perry “I Kissed A Girl”
“I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it“
WTF SRSLY!? I mean I’m all about gay/bisexual/bicurious rights but seriously! Did she honestly have to write a song about kissing a girl and liking it? But dammit, it’s so catchy! I found myself singing along after I heard the chorus for the first time. && She’s hot.
Example 2
Danity Kane “Damaged” Damaged, damaged
Damaged, damaged
I thought that I should let you know
That my heart is
Damaged, damaged
So damaged (so damaged)
And you can blame the one before
Ok, this song just plain sucks. Even MSTRKRFT can’t make it better. I don’t even want to talk about this song because it is the worst song EVARZZZ. Good job Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy, or Diddy or whatever his name is now.
Example 3
Lil’ Wayne “Lollipop” Shawty wanna li-li-li-lick me
Like a lollipop (Hahaha)
She She li-li-li-lick me
Like a lollipop (I say he so sweet
Make her wanna lick the rapper)
She She lick me
Like a lollipop (And She Do)
She lick me
Like a lollipop
(So I let her lick the wrapper)
Ok, as much as I want to bash this song, I love it (I know, I know) along with the 8 year old girls that don’t even understand what Lil’ Wayne means by “lick me like a lollipop.” It’s catchy and don’t even deny that.

Alright, I could keep adding to this list, like Usher’s “Love In This Club” but he has a nice body so I won’t. tee heez :P Actually, the terrible lyrics make the song better catchy. They stick to your mind and the next time you hear the song somewhere, you find yourself singing along and shaking that booty of yours.
Here’s some REEEEEEMIXes of the songs I talked about.
Download, take your pants off, and sing along.
You love it.
