They both kissed a girl. One of them liked it. One of them might do it again. They are 1990s alt-rocking one hit wonder Jill Sobule and 2000s wearer-of-fruit-shaped-accessories Katy Perry. And Jill is finally admitting that Katy’s ripoff of her song “I Kissed a Girl” really burns her biscuits. Says The Sun:
Jill blasted: “As a musician I have always refrained from criticizing another artist. I was, ‘Well, good for her.’ It did bug me a little bit, however, when she said she came up with the idea for the title in a dream.
“In truth, she wrote it with a team of professional writers and was signed by the very same guy that signed me in 1995. I have not mentioned that in interviews as I don’t want to sound bitter or petty, because that’s not me.
“Okay, maybe, if I really think about it, there were a few jealous and pissed off moments. So here goes, for the first time in an interview…
“Fuck you Katy Perry, you fucking stupid, maybe ‘not good for the gays’, title thieving, haven’t heard much else, so not quite sure if you’re talented, fucking little slut.”
If, a year ago, you had come to us and said we’d be cheering on Jill Sobule, we would have told you to get the fuck out of town. Where does the madness end? When we have to write an entry about Lucas with the Lid Off dissing John Mayer? A formal joust between Dishwalla and BrokenCYDE?

Does this silly woman know that song and film titles can’t be copyrighted outright, which would explain quite a few things like why Quentin Tarantino had deliberately misspelled ‘The Inglorious Bastards’ (or ‘Quel maledetto treno blindato’, in its original Italian. Thank you, IMDb!) so there would be no mistake which movie you’re going to be seeing, especially since the original’s out on DVD. Tarantino may be a hack savant who pillages old films for his inspiration, but he’s no fool!
As for Ms. Sobule, may I remind people that she also wrote the god awful soundtrack to HARRIET THE SPY, which would make normally sane people wish for death or at least a handgun to reenact Elvis’s shoot-outs with the television? Yeah, I thought so. I couldn’t remember it or her either.
Remembering her singing in her precious speech impediment: “She took opp herw overcoat” makes me want to die.
the above comments don’t change that fact that Katy Perry is not worth her weight in manure…i hope she goes bankrupt and ends up behind the BK counter
