 Fun & mostly harmless but not very memorable... August 17, 2010

What you'll get out of the song will mostly depend on how you approach it. While this song is a fun little ditty to listen & sing along to on the road, if you are looking for a song that you'll remember for years to come you'd be better off looking elsewhere. This might not be remembered in the future like the Beach Boys' California Girls or some of the other songs out there are now, but it is bouncy enough for me to keep listening to it (and sing very poorly with it) when it comes on the radio & warrants a re-listen or two.
Basically, don't look for a lot of substance here & you'll be fine. If you're looking for the next Madonna, Perry isn't it. But she is fun in the right here & now.
fun, catchy, punchy August 16, 2010

I was never really a Katy Perry fan. But this song, I like. It's good fun. a song in the fine line of California girls anthems (David Lee Roth, The Beach Boys, etc). It's not groundbreaking by any means but it's infectious. definitely can be remixed and bound for the dance clubs.
Great song August 2, 2010

As an adult I love this song, it is very catchy and it seems like Katy Perry has some fun songs, but as a mom, not the greatest song for kids. I didn't realize some of the words that were in it, particularly "Sex on the Beach". This was the song my 11 year old asked for on her MP3. I know you can't keep things from them forever, but not quite the words I would like her to be singing all the time.

Words cannot express how I feel about Katy Perry and this song in particular. Ever since she started getting radio play, I've wanted to jam a screwdriver in my ear. This latest song, which is easily the worst track of the year, cannot disappear fast enough. It's manufactured to where even if you hear a couple seconds of it, you're doomed to have its evil awfulness latched into your brain on an infinite torturous loop until you either kill yourself or find a way to erase your mind. Some are foolish enough to listen to this garbage on purpose, thinking that they actually like it, which many of us know is not the case. In reality, it's the result of a pact between the record company and what I can only imagine is Satan herself. Just like the Black Eyed Peas recent turn to the dark side, such songs are impossible to avoid right now, appearing literally everywhere, ready to ruin your day at every turn. They're infused with an artificial sense of sugary estrogen cheerfulness that masquerades as real, intending to come off as a happy girl singing her happy little songs. Makes me want to put a gun in my mouth. And wanting that is very much the opposite of joy.
Even more insidious, they throw Snoop Dogg in here as an effort to reel in proper music fans, and this fool goes with it just because it's a song about California (and it gives him enough money to buy the ganja tree). Snoop is able to just smoke a blunt and forget all about it, but many of us don't have that luxury. I weep for all the blonds out there with enough carbon monoxide in their heads to buy this god-awful abomination. You're driving the men around you crazy and we'll have none of it. And despite being all about sex and only sex, I can't think of anything that makes my popsicle want to melt and fall off more. This song makes my balls shrink. DO NOT WANT.
Uses superior-quality VBR encoding July 26, 2010

Prior to purchase, Amazon.com doesn't disclose whether a song is encoded with superior-quality variable bitrate (VBR) encoding or inferior-quality constant bitrate (CBR) encoding. FYI, this one is encoding with VBR, which is a very good thing.
The Snoop Dogg rap sucks! My local radio station plays a solo version without Snoop. Unfortunately, it appears you can't buy that version. Record companies complain that too many people download songs illegally, but when we pay money for the songs they engage in bait-and-switch. WTF?
