I like the subject of this blog, but I do find it answered already by the citizens of America. What other song could represent life in America right now like the No. 1 song on the Weekly Top 40?
Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) is the most requested song currently and it definitely says a lot about America this day and age and the people in it. With striking themes, such as...
-Many Americans' struggle with money "Yeah we maxed our credit cards/Got kicked out of the bars/So we hit the boulevard"
-Amnesia "It's a blacked out blur/But I'm pretty sure it ruled"
-Love "There's a stranger in my bed," "Think we kissed but I forgot"
and many more.
I'm really glad Katy Perry is the voice of today and that Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) is our message.
I'm not a big fan of Katy Perry, but that's not to say her lyrics are bad: i like the fact that she addresses common problems in the country instead of singing about sex/drugs. The song title is also interesting--everyone can't wait for friday!
