It ain't that curious

I'm not one of those dykes who was horrified by Katy Perry's protestations that she kissed a girl and she liked it. Hey, she's admitting she did like it, even if was supposedly to impress the boyfriend. At least ostensibly-het women can actually sing about that kind of thing these days - sure, it's naff and exploitative, but there are a fuckton of more revoltingly exploitative things out there right now (such as 90% of music videos, from the last time I bothered watching them on TV. At the gym, I think).

But, anyway, there's a nice riposte to Katy Perry out there now, from Jen Foster: I Didn't Just Kiss Her (MyFace page)

I didn't just kiss her
Went all the way and she liked it
She likes to think she didn't invite it
But these scratches are because she tried to bite it
She whispered that she wanted to put it in me
She swore she would she respect me
But when the sun came up she left without a warning

Just mildly pleasant musically to me (acoustic-ish pop, and her voice is a bit Anastasia-ish), but yeah, like those words. :-)

I liked the song. I've a marginal tolerance for acoustic, and this kept itself from getting too, um, self-righteous. Thanks for the tip!

I hate the Katy Perry song with a burning passion that burns, but I've heard a couple of brilliant parody covers (one reasonably *cough* straight one, sung by a guy who changes none of the pronouns etc), and one obvious parody from Machine Gun Fellatio).

And you're right -- there are far worse songs out there as far as exploitation and whatever are concerned. Have you heard the Nickelback song _Something In Your Mouth_? It's revoltingly sexist, so if you ever need your rage levels topping up, it's a quick, easy way to do so.

I was at an AIDS Action Council meeting where they played the video clip to I Kissed a Girl. One of the guys seriously interpreted it as being a feminist anthem, and that the point of the song is women using their bodies and sexualities against men.

I thought baglieg's head was about to pop.
