Who else hates that "I Kissed a Girl" song?

[lightningandsnow]

I mean the recently released one by Katy Perry, not the totally unrelated one by Jill Sobule from the 90's. Jill Sobule's song of the same name is actually quite lovely, which probably adds to my hatred of the Katy Perry one. She stole the title!

You'd think, as a girl who likes to kiss girls, I would like that song. Actually, I find it extremely irritating...and it annoys me that fake bisexuality has become kind of trendy.

Pretty much everyone else I know loves that song... so who's with me here? Anyone?

(On edit - I also don't like it because I just find it irritating, lyrics and title-snatching aside).

1. I haven't heard it...

so... I dunno.

I probably don't like it either though, if it's on the radio. I find most radio stuff practically unlistenable.

[PBS Poll-435]

2. It is catchy, but I totally see it your way.

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Never heard it.

I win.

4. How Do People Avoid Crappy Music?

You must have some sort of mystical powers. In my gym, they have music videos playing all of the time, and it's crappy tune after crappy tune.

[redqueen]

5. Exercise bike in my living room.

Here is how I avoid crap music: I avoid being around other people.

[Yavin4]

10. Live Like A Hermet?

BTW, when I said that my gym plays crappy music, I'm talking Paris Hilton level crappiness.

[redqueen]

22. Not quite...

but if I can manage to save money and avoid crappy music as well, I do. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

7. I don't watch TV or listen to the radio.

And when I'm anywhere that's playing crappy music, I listen to my iPod.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. I don't work out and always have my iPod on me.

:D

[Occam Bandage]

25. In my gym, you put on headphones and tune it to the TV you want. CNN for me.

(Depending on what's on ESPN, of course. White Sox Uber Alles)

[Rhythm]

6. Yeah... i am SO friggin' tired of that song... ugh.

The video makes it even worse, imho. T&A crapola...

And yeah, the trendy faux-bi crap is annoying as hell to me too.

[petronius]

8. I've never heard of either Katy Perry or Jill Sobule, but I've reached an age where I'm happy

to hate anything trendy, without need for a reason, so yeah - I totally hate that song...

[Iris]

19. ha! ha! I'm with you! Although, I have heard both versions. Well, about 20 seconds of the Perry

song. The Jill Sobule song I liked. The Perry song - just exploitive dribble.

[bigwillq]

9. I love it.

It's my myspace song. I think it's really catchy. It's a fun song, imo.

[dubeskin]

11. The beat is good - The lyrics suck

It's one of those songs that the beat is what makes it good, not the lyrics. Any other words and I guarantee you the song would have been pretty much just as popular as it is now.

That's also another reason why I try to NOT listen to the speakers are gyms/clothing stores/pop radio and I stay away from the "Top ___ Songs" lists on Amazon and iTunes. Usually it's rehashed crap with a different name all the time.

12. Fake bisexuality is back

...and in a big way after good runs in 1994 and 1999.

I still say it's the chicken or the fish, but that's just me.

[Iggo]

13. I liked it for about five minutes.

Then it got old, REAL quick.

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. Huh. I assumed it was a remake of the Jill Sobule song.

I haven't heard it yet, although I've heard of it.

[SarahB]

20. I just listened to it.

The song got on my nerves. Then again, you know how I feel about "giggle, giggle, I kissed a girl, is anyone watching?" fake ass bi chicks. :eyes:

[Generic Brad]

15. I called it the "Cherry Chapstick Song"

But only because I didn't know the title. It's an ok tune. It doesn't really bother me.

[AccessGranted]

16. Hmmmm....it is kinda catchy

I'm not sure if I love it or hate it yet

[Iggo]

17. There's a reason it was a hit song...

...and that about sums it up.

[SarahB]

21. I don't like it either.

It trivializes sexuality. Bisexual and lesbian women are not toys to be teased by strait women experimenting for men.

[SarahB]

23. Ok, so I listened to the song a couple more times...

with a more open mind. I'm not sure she is "fake", but rather "exploring" which is what's life's all about (or perhaps should be at times). I'm not crazy about the "cherry chapstick" line though. It's dorky.

[Occam Bandage]

24. It's kind of grating. Still, I don't listen to FM radio, so...

Go Go Supaa Piracy Indie Pretension iPod!

[Chan790]

26. It annoys the fuck out of me.

One of my coworkers sings it over and over and over. We're talking hours on end.

She's all about faux-bisexuality because she thinks it's hip. :puke:
