Katy Perry's Pants (And Other Questions)
It is nearing the end of the first week of Katy Perry's domination of the UK singles charts. I cannot tell you whether this will be a long reign or a short one. I cannot tell you whether having this song at No.1 will be a good thing for our nation or a bad thing. I cannot tell you even whether this will turn out to be the beginning of an amazing career or the kind of song Sara Cawood will be rolling her eyes at in one of those best/worst list TV shows which will be on around New Year's Eve.
What I CAN tell you is that the song 'I Kissed A Girl' is very gradually invading the consciousness of the nation in a really pungent way. Like these people here, who have changed the words so that they are singing about animals. I particularly like the last one, cos he sounds like Antony and the Johnsons, only ruder.
Now, who wants to read an interview with Katy herself? I SAID WHO WANTS TO READ AN INTERVIEW WITH KATY HERSELF..?
Alright alright! Here she is, answering the Radio 1 Chart Show's 20 Questions. Enjoy!
1: What do you wear in bed?
Katy: I found these hot pink satin long-sleeved PJ's at Target in the kids section... I got the largest size cause they had monkeys and bananas on them. They are epic.
2: Who was the last person to see you naked?
Katy: My best friend and my assistant. I walk freely around them, obviously this has made us a close-knit family :)
3: What's your best chat-up line?
Katy: I say nothing and buy THEM a drink. It flips their whole game upside down, not so used to it.
4: Have you ever used a bidet?
Katy: No thanks, we live in 2008 :)
5: Do you admit it when you fart?
Katy: Yes. I claim it and I stamp it. The only time I don't claim it is when I fart on an elevator and it happens to make a stop on the way down or up... and I have to ride with them. It's pretty obvious it was mine though...
6: What's the last thing you think about before you go to sleep?
Katy: I pray for strength for the next day.
7: If you found Aladdin's lamp, what would you wish for?
Katy: Endless wishes (I know that is not allowed...but I don't see any fine print on here about the rules and regulations of this wish.)
8: Who was the last person you snogged?
Katy: My boyfriend.
9: Who would play you in a movie of your life?
Katy: Oh that's easy, Zooey Deschanel! We are the same person :)
10: Who is your embarrassing crush?
Katy: All three of the Jonas Brothers. I want them all. Even the one no one wants.
11: When did you last change your bedsheets?
Katy: My tour sheets are changed once a week now. They will be burned after tour. (they are soft pink with cream polka dots, FYI)
12: If you could have one superpower what would it be?
Katy: To go back in time/be a time machine.
13: Did you have an imaginary friend when you were little?
Katy: Nada. Mom and Dad didn't believe in imaginary people. Or MTV... Sheltered life.
14: What's the most famous celebrity phone number in your mobile?
Katy: Rhymes with Shmiley Tyrus?
15: If Donald is a duck, Pluto is a dog and Mickey is a mouse, what is Goofy?
Katy: Me?!
16: What is the most embarrassing CD in your collection?
Katy: I think I have some motivational books on disc loaded into my itunes... does that count?
17: Have you ever picked your nose and eaten it?
Katy: Today? Sorry.
18: How many pairs of pants do you own?
Katy: 75?
19: What colour are the pants you are wearing?
Katy: Right now? Black. Matches my soul... hee hee.
20: What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever given you?
Katy: Their back as a sacrifice. There's a woman who is a very dedicated fan to the point that she is getting my album cover tattooed on her whole back. She is journaling each step. I think it's gonna be rad... but very dedicated.
