She kissed a girl and she liked it. More than likely these words have reached your ears more than once this summer, probably leading to an image of pseudo-lesbianism commonly produced after a few to many shots of Jose Cuervo. "I Kissed a Girl," the breakout hit for singer-songwriter Katy Perry, has become a summer anthem for girls regardless of sexual preference, propelling the unknown songstress to the top of the charts.

While best known for her bi-curious single, the genius of Perry's album "One of the Boys" lies in her sass-filled lyrics lamenting her less than joy-filled past relationships. Despite her upbringing as a daughter of two preachers and sweet-as-apple-pie exterior, Perry's lyrics have a tendency to push people outside their comfort zone.

The song "Ur So Gay," a tribute to the metrosexual and painfully emo tendencies of Perry's ex-boyfriend, explains her disgust using colorfully stinging imagery. Perry sings, "I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf / While jacking off listening to Mozart," and in just two lines expresses both her frustration with the past and her obviously comedic means of expressing this annoyance.

While Perry has been producing music since 2001, it was her shift from Christian crooner to pop princess that made her a widely known artist. As Perry settles comfortably into her relationship with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, her innovative lyrics are sure to take a turn from boyfriend bashing, but we can only hope that they don't lose any of her signature punch.
