But that didn’t stop the song from reaching #2 last week on Billboard. Katy Perry’s single, “I Kissed A Girl” (not the same as the 90’s pop/rock hit) apparently set off a few crazies from the Concerned Women of America:
The song, performed by Katy Perry, is called I Kissed a Girl. The lyrics speak of kissing a girl “just to try it,” adding that the “experimental game” is “just human nature.” In addition, the singer is hopeful that her boyfriend does not mind she is experimenting with a lesbian relationship.
Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America takes issue with the song luring girls into sexual experimentation. “… [E]ven if they have a boyfriend and consider themselves heterosexual, [the singer entices them] to just try a lesbian experience,” she maintains. “It’s really intended to mess girls up.” Wright argues that the song works to break down a girl’s sense of morality concerning lesbianism, and also works to get girls to be less critical of homosexuality.

In 2006, Greg Gillis, the one-man spastic mash-up artist also known as “Girl Talk”, unleashed his sophomore album “Night Ripper” with very few people taking immediate notice. The LP became somewhat of a phenomenon, after acclaim for Gillis’s live shows permeated blogs and hipster vernacular. Girl Talk has released a new album of music, “Feed The Animals” which boasts even more pop music samples, (Night Ripper had over 150) and more directed, danceable feel.
Gillis and the record label he’s signed to, Illegal Art, took the Radiohead/NIN music sales route and decided to allow the listener to decide the price, allowing you to pay $0. It’s a bargain.
