I kissed a girl, and I LIKED it

Where would Katy Perry fall in the list of the best worst music I've ever enjoyed? Probably near the bottom, because she has a triumvirate of appeal: sick musician, attractive, and to top it all of she sings about making out with girls.

I just get the feeling that her most famous song, "I kissed a girl" would not be quite as popular or as well received if it were written from a different perspective. Let's see

I kissed a boy and I liked it - Keith Perry

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a boy and I liked it
The taste of his cherry chapstick
I kissed a boy just to try it
I hope my other boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a boy and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter,
You're my experimental game
Just human nature,
It's not what,
Good boys do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a boy and I liked it
The taste of his cherry chap stick
I kissed a boy just to try it
I hope Jack don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a boy and I liked it
I liked it,

Us men we are so magical
Soft skin, skin-toned lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a boy and I liked it
The taste of his cherry chap stick
I kissed a boy just to try it
I hope Dennis don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a boy and I liked it
I liked it

Not quite the same, eh?
