Katy Perry makes me wonder what I did last friday night when she sings about fireworks and teenage dreams. Whether you are a dude or a chick of my generation, you know these songs. Hell, our parents know the words just as well as us. Ms. Perry is booming from the window-rolled-down cars we drive and through our iPod docks. I saw Katy in concert this summer at Summmerfest 2011 and I am proud to say that I sang every word loud and on key. Well on key for the most part. Last Friday Night, Firework, and Thinking Of You are only three of my favorite Katy Perry chart toppers, but they are the most meaningful in my opinion.
Last Friday Night(T.G.I.F) is Katy's newest tune and I must say that it is upbeat and gets stuck in my head numberous times a day. It is just one of those songs that is associated with partying and I am pretty sure that it is played at least once at the homecoming dances that are at the high school events. I jammed all summer to Last Friday Night with my friends. Car, house, on the lawn, wherever, we blasted it and sung our hearts out. the music video is classic. You have the nerdy girl with braces who gets a make over and gets fawned over by all the hot guys and then gets wasted and wakes up the next day like, "OH SHIT. What happened last night?" It is so good and definitely gives the song a great image.
Firework is more of a heartfelt, more emotional song. It is still upbeat and catchy, but with a motivating message. The song says that everyone its like a firework because no matter what you have been through in your life, you always have that potential to have your moment and take control and make a change. Firework is so inspirational and the video is phenominal. It is petty close to the epitome of the saying "You can do anything that you put your mind to." It is fun and cool, yet it so emotionally enriched.
Thinking of You is more of a ballad that describes a relationship that is not entirely shared by both people, then she moves on to a new guy and finds that she can't stop thinking about ther other man. It sounds confusing, but it is just your typical romance movie plot, for example the Notebook. Its a very nice song and I know every word so when I get in that sad, hopeless romantic mood, I play it loud nad just belt out the words.
