So, what exactly is Katy Perry suggesting when she's singing her hits, "UR So Gay" and "I Kissed a Girl" from her album One of the Boys? She's definitely capture the hearts of young boys & girls everywhere, that's for certain.
I honestly don't know when Perry's career took off, but I am under the impression that she's from the Disney's school of pop music (such as High School Musical and Mickey Mouse Club), which also means that she started her career very young. As it turns out, she started singing in church choirs, coming from a pastor Christian background.
The song that I'll be talking about is "Hot N Cold" (note awful spellings). I first heard this song playing the original Tap Tap Revenge on the iPod Touch, and was surprise to see that Capitol Records didn't bother porting the song over to Tap Tap Revenge 2.
What I instantly liked about the song is that the lyrics makes a lot of sense to me. You could singalong and just start making up your own opposite lyrics, such as fast and slow/dumb and smart/fit and fat, and it won't matter because the actual lyrics aren't that much more cleverer: hot and cold/yes and no/in and out/up and down. Still, it's a fun song.
The video is also fun, showing us what Katy would look like if she was a Bridezilla, chasing after her runaway groom. Three points for having a guy in a hotdog suit in the video, by the way. No points for that pointless rock concert in the middle of the video.
Anyway, if you like the song, it's from her album One of the Boys on Capitol Records.

In fact, she isn't from Disney Club. Quite opposite. AFAIK she had been in and around music industry for several years, but when it came to the moment of signing with some major label - she didn't, because wanted to be in charge, without all that crap "do this, do that, say it like that, act so and so", etc. I don't know what it the situation today, but what I like about her - is that she seems to be the only alive, not glitter-zombified pop-star right now. She writes (by hersef) blog, along with a vlog, expresses herself freely. Yes, her recent hits are just bubblegum pink pop, but before that her style was something which is very close to pain old indie-rock. Unfortunately album of that era was never officially released, though fully recorded and several songs even got music videos.
And secondly there is this track "Ur so gay", which is absolutely awesome. Obviously it's not a product of Disney Club.

BTW I just came along this video few days ago. Made by Ivano-Frankivsk (Ukraine) band called Los Colorados. I think it's a pretty neat remake :)
