I'm obviously not with the times songs today

So I was in some store, can't remember, and of course, they all play music nowadays. Well, usually I just try and ignore the music, especially if I'm in a book store, why do I need pop music in a book store??? What happened to just enjoying the quiet and browsing the book titles?

Anyways, I digress. So this song comes on and for some reason, I was listening and it was a girl singing about another girl and their love relationship. And I was so surprised, but then why be surprised, girls fall in love with girls, guys fall in love with guys....it's just I never heard a lesbian/homosexual song before. Of course, I'm not one to listen to popular pop music at all...but it sure surprised me.

Nothing against such songs by the way.

I remember being surprised to hear this song being played in a department store about 10 years ago. Of course Katy Perry is an award winning recording artist and actress. This is the first time I've heard all the words. The live action video is kind of racy, so here's the lyric video.
I Kissed A Girl

Then I'm really, really behind the times.

It's always important to protect yourself with such disclaimers.

I learned something new. That's what is great about this forum. Thanks!
