This song has been covered by a few artists since its release. One artist, Frank Chaira ( http://www.myspace.com/FrankChaira), switched the song to 'I Kissed A Boy.' The other artist, Attack Attack! ( http://www.myspace.com/attackattack), kept the same lyrics, but screamed the 'us girls, we are so magical...' part. Both are up-and-coming myspace celebrity artists.
She is quoted in this interview as admitting she has never kissed a girl.. surely that fact is worth mentioning in this article somewhere? It is fairly significant to the meaning and purpose of the song imho Omgplz ( talk) 00:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh, yes she did. Katie Couric mentioned it. She said, "You have, in fact, kissed girls". And Katy confirmed it. Then When she was interrogated if she liked it, katy said, "I don't think I would have continued if i didn't like it when i first did it" or something like that. Search "katy perry katie couric interview" on youtube. you should get it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.3.148.189 ( talk) 02:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
wow, just... wow: "The song has gained a significant amount of controversy since its rise to popularity due to its positive treatment of a lesbian kiss.[1]"
really? do people really believe this? i don't know, i passed 12yo a while ago, but damn, i don't think i was ever that stupid. a female kissing a another female in order to get a male is certainly not lesbian. only in an extreme, strict sense it's a "lesbian" kiss, but so is a woman or girl kissing her mother; a man or boy kissing his father.
take any old white kid for instance, they can put on a "black" accent all they want, it won't make them black. in fact, the only person who can talk "black" is black, whether you view their accent as "black" or "white." why is this? well, do the words 'social construct' mean nothing to you kids?

First of all, this lacks citations - is there proof a controversy even arose? Second, whether or not Cyrus is a minor is largely irrelevant. It's not as if Katy Perry said she was going to have sex with Cyrus - then her age would be an issue. But as far as I know, it's OK for an adult to kiss a minor.

In the Awards and Nominations section, the asterisk next to the win for Best New Act remarks that Katy Perry was the host of the show. To me, that implies that Katy merely won because she was the host. Anybody else agrees with me or am I being overly suspicious? -- Whip it! Now whip it good! 02:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

The new version of this song's lyrics were I'm sure written by the people the article says. But the basic tune is the same as I Kissed A Girl by The Vibrators. Which came first? The articles should link to each other. -- 90.220.22.201 ( talk) 19:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
There are some facts I've noticed about Katy Perry's performances of this song, most notably the live ones.
1. She playfully opens her mouth after the final "I kissed a girl and I liked it" during the first and second chorus and the "I liked it" to mimic the shock by people over hearing the lyrics. Almost a playful parody of the "Aw, you naughty girl you" surprise face. But she rarely does on the third one, because that would be greatly risking a stream of drool pouring out of her mouth, embarrassing herself and making a situation ripe for tabloids, because unlike Tori Amos, she is too well-known to avoid that kind of negative attention. Nonetheless.....
2. During her performance of this song, and some other songs, but most extensively in this song, Katy Perry typically does not swallow her saliva. This may be a strange thing to notice, but how could I not? I noticed that her speech becomes incresingly slurred during live performances of this song (which, I believe, is why many critics feel that she can't sing live without knowing it, I think she sounds beautiful live, but her pronunciation becomes increasingly "imperfect" as the song wears on), plus her head seemed to be tilted up towards the end in all cases, and I took notice of this as a result. It's not just because of the play-gasp, as there are many other opportunities to swallow her saliva, but she leaves her mouth ajar during those times. I know this is a weird topic, but if Tori Amos fans can talk about her drooling, why can't Katy Perry fans talk about her almost drooling? This isn't to make fun of her, by the way, this is actually just an observation, and I actually gain more respect for her for doing this, it shows she gets so into this song that she just wants to sing it without interrupting it. Plus, it allowed her to take bigger breaths for longer, unbroken song phrases. Which leads to the third one.
3. Her gestures, hand motions, playful gasps, winks, and everything make her performances memorable like a Broadway show, telling a story with more than just the lyrics and adding an air of believability to it. I don't know her personally, but I can say for certain, that by the level of how much she gets into the performances of this song, I think it's her favorite song. Don't get me wrong, I know she loves her other songs like "Ur so gay", "Mannequin", and "Hot and cold", but it seems like this is her favorite song.
Personal opinion, but I think the claims of her being homophobic are ridiculous, her parents are quite possibly, but her? Certainly not. I know that some of this can't go into the article because it's my opinion, but I think 1, 2, and parts of 3 of my points could have their material worked into it. I don't know if celebrities read their own Wikipedia articles, but if so, I hope this revlation of noticing these things doesn't embarrass her, because I'm actually praising her for these things. Some of the greatest singers of all time paid little mind to their saliva pooling up as they sang: Paul Robeson, that guy that sang The Impossible Dream on Ed Sullivan, Tori Amos, Natasha Beddingfield (sometimes, at least during live performances of "Unwritten"), Lena Horne, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.63.206 ( talk) 05:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

– WP:SONGDAB, shouldn't require an RM. btw, Jill Sobule's comments at I Kissed a Girl (Jill Sobule song) about Katy Perry are amusing. In ictu oculi ( talk) 07:16, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Per WP:RS ("Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered"), WP:OR ("Wikipedia articles must not contain original research."), and WP:SUBJECTIVE ("articles should provide an overview of the common interpretations of a creative work, preferably with citations to notable individuals holding that interpretation. Verifiable public and scholarly critiques provide useful context for works of art."), you need genres sourced. It doesn't matter what other articles say about genre as bands change styles and you need to find appropriate ones per album. It also doesn't matter if other articles don't use citations, they will need them eventually. We don't use wikipedia as a source from other pages. If you can find sources, please add them. If not, refrain from adding uncited material about genre to articles. 123.136.111.78 ( talk) 23:58, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Under Composition, it says "Kitty Purty" assisted in the engineering. Um, does anyone know if this is a total mistake, someone being silly about Katy Perry assisting in the engineering, or if this is supposed to be a fun reference to the fact that Katy's cat, Kitty Purry, was walking around the engineering room/booth/whatever?
Whatever it is, it's misspelled; it should be either Katy Perry or Kitty Purry (R.I.P. fluffster), depending, so if someone who knows better could tackle that...? Kailey elise ( talk) 13:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

The single has never been on the 1st place of Russian Airplay Chart! Look at the reference, Airplay Detection TopHit 100 top chart position - 2. Malmax ( talk) 09:38, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
In the music video section of the article is states, without a ref: 'she wakes up next to a male companion called Derek'. However, the video does not state anyone's name, and I believe the man is actually Travis McCoy. Where would anyone get the idea he is called Derek? F W Nietzsche ( talk) 18:12, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Isn't that sort of... unusual? I scanned the main article (here). Is it mentioned here? It should be.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of I Kissed a Girl's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

In the Awards and Nominations section, the asterisk next to the win for Best New Act remarks that Katy Perry was the host of the show. To me, that implies that Katy merely won because she was the host. Anybody else agrees with me or am I being overly suspicious? -- Whip it! Now whip it good! 02:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

The new version of this song's lyrics were I'm sure written by the people the article says. But the basic tune is the same as I Kissed A Girl by The Vibrators. Which came first? The articles should link to each other. -- 90.220.22.201 ( talk) 19:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
There are some facts I've noticed about Katy Perry's performances of this song, most notably the live ones.
1. She playfully opens her mouth after the final "I kissed a girl and I liked it" during the first and second chorus and the "I liked it" to mimic the shock by people over hearing the lyrics. Almost a playful parody of the "Aw, you naughty girl you" surprise face. But she rarely does on the third one, because that would be greatly risking a stream of drool pouring out of her mouth, embarrassing herself and making a situation ripe for tabloids, because unlike Tori Amos, she is too well-known to avoid that kind of negative attention. Nonetheless.....
2. During her performance of this song, and some other songs, but most extensively in this song, Katy Perry typically does not swallow her saliva. This may be a strange thing to notice, but how could I not? I noticed that her speech becomes incresingly slurred during live performances of this song (which, I believe, is why many critics feel that she can't sing live without knowing it, I think she sounds beautiful live, but her pronunciation becomes increasingly "imperfect" as the song wears on), plus her head seemed to be tilted up towards the end in all cases, and I took notice of this as a result. It's not just because of the play-gasp, as there are many other opportunities to swallow her saliva, but she leaves her mouth ajar during those times. I know this is a weird topic, but if Tori Amos fans can talk about her drooling, why can't Katy Perry fans talk about her almost drooling? This isn't to make fun of her, by the way, this is actually just an observation, and I actually gain more respect for her for doing this, it shows she gets so into this song that she just wants to sing it without interrupting it. Plus, it allowed her to take bigger breaths for longer, unbroken song phrases. Which leads to the third one.
3. Her gestures, hand motions, playful gasps, winks, and everything make her performances memorable like a Broadway show, telling a story with more than just the lyrics and adding an air of believability to it. I don't know her personally, but I can say for certain, that by the level of how much she gets into the performances of this song, I think it's her favorite song. Don't get me wrong, I know she loves her other songs like "Ur so gay", "Mannequin", and "Hot and cold", but it seems like this is her favorite song.
Personal opinion, but I think the claims of her being homophobic are ridiculous, her parents are quite possibly, but her? Certainly not. I know that some of this can't go into the article because it's my opinion, but I think 1, 2, and parts of 3 of my points could have their material worked into it. I don't know if celebrities read their own Wikipedia articles, but if so, I hope this revlation of noticing these things doesn't embarrass her, because I'm actually praising her for these things. Some of the greatest singers of all time paid little mind to their saliva pooling up as they sang: Paul Robeson, that guy that sang The Impossible Dream on Ed Sullivan, Tori Amos, Natasha Beddingfield (sometimes, at least during live performances of "Unwritten"), Lena Horne, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.63.206 ( talk) 05:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:RS ("Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered"), WP:OR ("Wikipedia articles must not contain original research."), and WP:SUBJECTIVE ("articles should provide an overview of the common interpretations of a creative work, preferably with citations to notable individuals holding that interpretation. Verifiable public and scholarly critiques provide useful context for works of art."), you need genres sourced. It doesn't matter what other articles say about genre as bands change styles and you need to find appropriate ones per album. It also doesn't matter if other articles don't use citations, they will need them eventually. We don't use wikipedia as a source from other pages. If you can find sources, please add them. If not, refrain from adding uncited material about genre to articles. 123.136.111.78 ( talk) 23:58, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Under Composition, it says "Kitty Purty" assisted in the engineering. Um, does anyone know if this is a total mistake, someone being silly about Katy Perry assisting in the engineering, or if this is supposed to be a fun reference to the fact that Katy's cat, Kitty Purry, was walking around the engineering room/booth/whatever?
Whatever it is, it's misspelled; it should be either Katy Perry or Kitty Purry (R.I.P. fluffster), depending, so if someone who knows better could tackle that...? Kailey elise ( talk) 13:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
