Song Stuck In My Head This Week - 21st June '10 - Katy Perry - California Gurls

Starting out as Gospel singing Katy Hudson, Katy Perry is now best known for creating happy fun pop tunes such as 'I Kissed A Girl' and 'Waking Up In Vegas' and her latest effort is no exception.

'California Gurls' is a catchy tune hooks you in and makes you want to dance and have fun. It has all the feel-good factor that you'd want from a summer pop song. Plus, above all that, it's singing about the place in the world I'm most fond of - California.

Ever since my first trip out there in 2004, California has been somewhere I hate to leave. Aside from the great weather, I find it to be such a chilled out place with really amazing people. Over the years I have made so many friends out there and it always feels like home.

Katy Perry's song just makes me think of hanging out at Venice Beach with my friend Jo and her kids. Grabbing pizza from one of the food places. Sitting under the palm trees watching the world go by. Hanging out by the basketball courts watching the kids shoot some hoops. Looking out on the beautiful blue ocean across the golden sands. It also conjures up thoughts of all the places there that I love to hang out - Barney's Beanery, Aroma Tea & Coffee Company, Mel's Diner on Highland, The Cat & Fiddle on Sunset, #9 in Long Beach, Mama Rose's in Temecula, all the lovely beaches like Seal Beach and just walking the streets seeing what there is to see while spending time with my friends.

This song just makes me want to dance and leaves me feeling so happy. I hope you enjoy it!!

Greetings loved ones
Lets take a journey

[Katy Perry]
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin’ gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees
The boys
Break their necks
Try’na to creep a little sneak peek
(at us)

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You’ll be falling in love
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California girls
We’re unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
will melt your Popsicle
Ooh Oh Oh

California girls
We’re undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up
Ooh Oh Ooh

Sex on a beach
We get sand in our stilettos
We freak
And we’re cheap
So play the songs on the stereo

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
