A while ago I posted Katy Perry's new I Kissed a Girl video. And Jill Sobule's as well because I have fond memories of it and I hate that Katy used that title.
And Vincent was kind enough to point me to Jill's Myspace in which she commented about the original song. (Very generously, I might add. I wouldn't have been as nice.)
Now Jill has commented to the world a little more officially in an interview with EW.com. Some key quotes:
I don't feel precious about the title, but I've gotten tons of e-mails from annoyed fans. Some think it’s more of a Girls Gone Wild thing than anything shocking or empowering to true gay feelings. Maybe I'll write a third 'I Kissed a Girl' for fun," she cracks. "It will be about how I kissed her, left the dull boyfriend, got gay-married in California, and really no one gave a s---.
I like Perry's song so long as I stop listening to it part way through (before it starts offending me...) I like Sobule's song all the way through, so you win, Jill! You win me posting your video again. And watching it a few more times.
P.S. Jill is coming out with her 7th CD June 17th. Hopefully I'll remember to let you know my opinions on it.
