Well I have never seen the music video before but I have turned up the radio every time I heard that song... it has been my favorite summer song. At the beginning of the summer I was driving a friend's freshman daughter to summer school and she was singing along with it the first time I had heard it...lol. I have also seen a young girl, probably 14 or 15 years old, with that song as her ringtone! LOL
Now that I've seen the video... well... we'll just keep those comments to a different discussion. I do believe that perhaps this, and other sings like it are leading to a new sexual freedom for Americans. Maybe afterall it isn't such a bad thing to be a "dirty girl"
Also, I laugh at the one cell phone commercial where the family goes to a foreign beach and the father says he didn't have any signal there so he didn't get the message
warning them about the local beaches... some of which are more nude than others... Reminds me of the discussion on bare breasts in public. As Americans aren't we all a little uptight about sexuality in general? I say KUDOS to Katy Perry (what a sexy little girl she is!) and any others willing to break the taboo on mainstream music record labels and the radio stations willing to play them.
Time for America to wake up and smell the... well... whatever it is you smell for sexual freedom.
Also, I say KUDOS to Dan and Jennifer, for this very forum and this very website are a part of the slow but sure sexual awakening in America.
