This is my song of the summer. Love it. I don't care. It's cute, poppy, and has an 80s vibe (like most pop songs at the moment) that I dig. The video matches it perfectly and it helps that Katy Perry is not exactly unpleasant to watch. cool

dancing jig I always liked the song..to hell with everybody who keeps asking for substance, this is all 80's pop (with a little funky bass) on it.

Toned, tan, fit and ready
Turn it up cause its gettin’ heavy
Wild wild west coast
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones, I mean like she’s the one
Kiss her, touch her, squeeze her bones

The girls a freak, she drives a jeep
The men on the beach,
I’m okay, I won’t play, I love the bay
Just like I love LA


Venice Beach and Palm Springs
Summer time is everything

Come on boys, hanging out
All that ass hanging out
Bikinis, tankinis, martinis, no weenies
Just to get in betweeny


Katy my lady (yeah)
You looking here baby (uh huh)
I’m all up on you
Cause you representing California

Yeah, the song is fun and cute and happy and all of that but doesn't anyone care about vocals anymore? Her singing is devoid of any kind of feeling, kinda mechanical to me. I will admit that it's catchy as hell...

That song is way too catchy. In fact, the melody sounds very familiar to something I heard before, but I can't remember which song it was. sad

the intro and some elements of the production reminds me a little of Get Together by Madonna. could that be the song you mean?

That's what I was thinking! The song reminds me of Madonna's "Get Together".That's probably why I like it,lol.

The song has some 90s influences, it kinda sounds what Calvin Harris from the UK did last year, the 90s revival is soooo pushed by the industry it's not even funny.

The video is alright, she looks great in it.

Totally, the intro is so similar to Calvin's keyboard riff from "I'm Not Alone" I thought it was a straight sample at first. Still love that sound though. The Calvin Harris track is also one of my faves.

It's fun, but it does remind me abit too much of Kesha's "Tik tok" somewhat. Am I the only one thats spotted this?

The popsicle line is pretty cheesy as well LOL.

Video was fun. Katy's rack is a sight to behold lol

Well I ain't joining the bandwagon. It sucks and the video doesn't make sense.
