You kissed What?

I guess I am more out of touch with the "real world" than I thought. This morning I was watching the 'news' (actually the Today Show, I call it the news to make me fell better about watching TV) Anyhow, I was watching the news and they do the summer series concerts. I was APPALLED at the song that I heard. I guess it has been on the charts for 15 weeks and #1 for 7 of those weeks. I had never heard this song before. (Maybe that is because I listen to Michael Buble so much). It is by Katy Perry and titled "I kissed a girl". Ok, call me old fashion but a girl singing a song called I kissed a girl is crazy. AND it says I kissed a girl and I liked it, it felt so right it felt so wrong. Or something like that. Granted the tune is very catching, in fact I can not get it out of my head now. BUT all the same, holy cow, there were like 8 year old girls in the crowd singing this song. What a horrible influence on society and these young girls. I can only imagine how many girls have decided that it was now OK to 'kiss a girl'. Sorry about the rant, but it is scary that garbage is out there and the wide acceptance of it.
My kids are only ever going to hear and sing church songs (and Michael buble!)
Only teasing but sometimes I wish....

Ok, I just heard that song for the first time today too, and i was just as appalled as you are. It makes me sad to think about what kind of world our kids have to grow up in.

Amen.

I don't even know what to say about it either. Something about cherry chap stick. The only thing funny about this was the extremely gay man in the front row singing along!

I totally agree and i turn it EVERY time it comes on the radio. I so hate it but have caught myself humming the tune.
