Sweet!

Katy Perry's "California Girls" is our network song for CW4 this season, and the first time we heard it, we got hooked! The beat is infectious, Katy's voice is spot on, and the chorus sticks in your head and doesn't go away. Now, THAT'S a pop song.

But if you think the song is great, wait 'til you see the music video. It's mind blowingly AWESOME!



Talk about whimsical. The entire "Candy Land" concept fits Katy Perry's image: a bit sweet and a bit 40s burlesque. There were a lot of funny little touches throughout, like the "bad gummy bears" who gave her the finger, the candy cane snakes, the gingerbread man who got eaten, and of course, Katy's "weapons of mass destruction by icing." Then there are the "candy queens" being unwrapped one by one. It's so campy - it's cool!

It was so entertaining, I didn't notice that the video was inverted until the 2nd time I saw it. But whether it's inverted, upside down, right side up or even askew, I'll keep on watching this video. It's sweet!
