So I've been thinking lately about kissing girls, and how I'm really not doing enough of it. This sad occurrence isn't easily forgotten when there are pop songs regarding the subject matter playing constantly on the musak at my local shopping malls.

Katy Perry



I was caught completely off guard when this song hit the charts and became more popular than it ever should be. I was having a conversation with one of my lady friends (who unfortunately would prefer making out with a girl herself...which is only one of my problems) and she brought up this song. I expressed my familiarity with it and then had some stupid mundane conversation about kissing girls or something.

what i didnt know, after having this conversation i sent a link online to my friend trying to reminisce about the conversation we had just had (welcome to the digital age, where people forget everything always, and the only way to live is through links from youtube), maybe with the intention of her kissing me instead of girls.

this was the link:



this was absolutely NOT the song she was talking about, and if i wasn't far enough away from kissing this girl...i was much further after this embarrassing episode.

Both songs suck, i guess the katy perry version might be more listenable...danceable even...but the jill sobule version definitely has the 'authentic nineties' going for it.

personally, my favorite 'girls kissing other girls' song would be this one by Tatu:



now technically, i dont think this is actually ABOUT girls kissing girls...but the two girls definitely did kiss each other during the performances of this song.

it was mostly a promotional stunt...but it worked...and honestly...it's still working.

excuse me for a moment while i remember what it was like when girls kissed boys.
