"Taste of Her Cherry Chapstick" was a nice touch, though.
Sad sucker for the Daily Dish that I am, I was confused that someone made a song called "I Kissed a Girl" and that it was a recent smash hit, because I am old, and I remember "I Kissed a Girl" as this cute little goofy song that came out back when I was in high school. I eventually gave in and decided to find out what the fuss was about.
Oh.
Really?
I see that some people are trying to play this up as a thoughtful exploration of gender and permissiveness, and I wish them the best of luck. To me, it looks a bit more like this. I understand. I'm a guy. I am the target demographic. You show me a cute girl lounging on a bed and grinding her legs together while wearing heels and a short miniskirt and quasi-50s makeup, sure, you have my attention. But do we absolutely need to go to faux-lesbianism? We have actual lesbians. They're people. They've got enough issues, like my former state, bastion of liberality, fighting tooth and nail to stop them from getting married despite the damn Supreme Court of California saying that it wasn't a deal. They don't need straight girls grasping for attention by aping their behavior to get the guys looking.
Also, holding the cat was a bit excessive. We understand the subtle metaphor you're making, but hey, if you're concerned that you might be too subtle, you could always chew on a carpet square or something just to hammer the point home some more.
Also, learn to sing. It's customary to go up and down in pitch and not just get, you know, louder during the chorus.
