Me too. And there was a song called "I Kissed a Girl" by Jill Sobule a few years ago, how come there wasn't such an uproar then? As soon as the Katy Perry song came out I remembered this one and said "this was already done." Was there so much controversy then and I don't remember?
I loved that song & hate this one.
I'm not sure why. I think this one annoys me, b/c it comes off as she is just trying to be controversial.
The lyrics are basically about a girl that had a boyfriend but got drunk & kissed a girl just to try it. Jill Souble's lyrics, are more about 2 women that bonded over bad men, and ended up kissing.
Jill Sobule's is almost more of a coming out story (like the protaganist is just relaizing for herself, that she may want to date women) while Katie Perry's is just "hey look at me , I'm soooooooo rebellious!".
And Katie Perry herslef annoys me because she comes off as trying too hard to be sexy & different & original, when she isn't really any of those things.
I don't remember if there was controversy over Jill Sobule's song--maybe because it wasn't as popular?

These were the lyrics:
Genny came over and told me 'bout Fred
" He's such a hairy behemoth, " she said
" Dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy. "
And I opened up and told her 'bout Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better
So we laughed
Compared notes
We had a drink, we had a smoke
She took off her over coat
I kissed a girl
So she called home to say she'd be late
He said he'd worried but now he feels safe
" I'm glad you're with your girlfriend, tell her hi for me "
So I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes
But it only lasted a little while
And then I felt your hand above my knee
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad I kissed a girl
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl
And I may do it again
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
But better
I kissed a girl
Won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl
I remember that song too. I don't recall controversy, but I was younger & not paying attention... I think that adds to my dislike for the new song too, because it's so unoriginal. They even have the same exact title!

Neither the song nor the lyrics bother me.

I agree. she's so "crazy" she puts me to sleep 
catchy tune done by a boring chick...trying desperately to shed her christian singer image or whatever.
ETA: I have no problem of the content of the song any more than any of the body rockin' knockin' boots songs that kids sing today.
even Mylie Cyrus sings about boys "I've got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim" what's the diff between stalking a person and kissing them?
