When it comes to deep, insightful lyrics, Katy Perry makes Lady Gaga look like fuckin' Bob Dylan
I don't know why I'm bothering to post this, but I heard it on the radio and I couldn't believe how shitty the lyrics were:

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
Trying 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
Oh, oh, ohhh

California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot
We'lll melt your Popsicle
Oh, oh, ohhh

California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West coast, represent, now put your hands up
Oh, oh, ohhh

Sex on a beach
We get sand in our stilettos
We freak in my Jeep
Snoopy Doggy Dog on the stereo

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
Oh, oh, ohhh

California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot
We'lll melt your Popsicle
Oh, oh, ohhh

California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West coast, represent, now put your hands up
Oh, oh, ohhh

4. Yet, it is stuck in my head as an earworm.
Quick, TZ, post a song that will help rid me of this earworm.

A song.

Any song.

Those medieval crooners were nothing to write home about either. After reading the lyrics to Greensleeves, I wondered which crappy Boy Band of the 1100's came up with that crappy crap...

7. Thank you for sharing your pain.
Now it is ours as well. (Rassum Frassum...)-and other Yosemite Sam sounds :rofl:

I for one do not care for LA women...don't know about other coasties, but meet one European woman, and your taste for American women just vanishes. Especially when they whine about themselves in songs such as this.

:shrug:
