Katy Perry: ‘I kissed a girl and I exploited it…’

Katy Perry I kissed a girl July 21st, 2008

So after months of airplay in the USA, Katy Perry’s ‘I kissed a girl’ has finally reached the UK mainstream! Ladies, set your hearts to ‘flutter’ and/or your stomachs to ‘puke’ and get set for some seriously catchy bicurious pop:

If you can’t see the video, here’s a taste of the chorus:

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it

Over at The F Word Laura Woodhouse has written a brilliantly readable analysis of the song’s lyrics, but what about you, dear Lesbilicious readers? What do you think?

Is Katy meant to be a straight girl trying to turn on her boyfriend? A slutty bi girl who doesn’t care about her man? A closeted lesbian with a big ol’ crush?

(Or does she just really really like cherry chapstick?)

  • I love the song, I’m so happy it finally has hit over here. :D

    As for katy perrys sexuality. She could be anything really. A gay who doesn’t give a shit. A bisexualy who als dosen’t give a shit or a stright who clearly dose give one and wants everyone to know what experimenting with your sexualty i definatly a good thing!
