Today Katy Perry unveils the sugary sweet video for California Gurls. I admit, this track has been my guilty pleasure this summer. The official video features Perry traveling through a candy universe, where she says (in an interview) that everything is edible. She meets up with Snoop Dogg and his army of middle finger flying gummy bears. The key scene in the entire video is illustrated above. Seriously.
Here are a few remixes that have surfaced for California Gurls, nothing too amazing or different, but the Liam Keegan mix extends the album version quiet nicely + Tommy Sunshine changes the track up just a bit adding some drums + claps! - Matt
Ok, so I have a new guilty pleasure. I always knock people when they copy this chord progression in songs (you can hear it in Tik-Tok, Holiday, Get Together, etc) because it’s so over-used. I’m going to let this one go by, because I can’t get it out of my head. Katy Perry returns to the music scene with a song that sounds exactly like everything that’s out right now called California Gurls.
It’s featuring Snoop Dogg, my favorite rapper of the lot singing about icy popsicles and such all while a vocoded ‘California’ gets repeated over and over. It’s fun, it’s summer. I’ve always loved Katy’s performances and hated her music. I hope she comes out with something completely new and different, but it looks like she’s playing it safe for this album. - Matt
The boys from 3OH!3 are at it again and they have now added in vocals from yup… KATY PERRY to the song STARSTRUKK which can be found (w/o Katy’s vocals) on their album WANT. I do prefer the version with Katy Perry, she definitely adds something to the song… perhaps 3OH!3 has another hit on their hands, I think they do… but Don’t Trust Me!
Here is a hot remix of WAKING UP IN VEGAS one of my favorite KATY PERRY songs from her album. This one will get you grooving! Is it wrong that this song really makes me want to plan a Vegas trip?!
So I read on AceShowBiz that on the up-coming Grammy Awards that Katy Perry will be performing her hit I Kissed A Girl with some fan-made videos. This made me remember a similar performance by the Captain and Tennille on the Grammy Awards and I cannot help but wonder if the fabulous duo perhaps inspired Katy Perry for her up-coming performance on the Grammy’s scheduled to air this February… What do you think??
