In Between The Lines

The first new song that i heard after a long time since joining USM, would be the new one by Cobra Starship. Before i start talking abt their new song, i'd like to recap on one of their old songs: 'I Kissed A Boy'. It was a remix of Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl'. Let me start with Katy's version first. The song was a milestone for her career. The controversial lyrics and video propelled her to stardom. And i loved it when it came out.

I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry

This was never the way I planned, not my intention.
I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on.
I'm curious for you, caught my attention.

I kissed a girl and I liked it,
the taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so right.
Don't mean I'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl and I liked it (I liked it).

No, I don't even know your name, it doesn't matter.
You're my experimental game, just human nature.
It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave.
My head gets so confused, hard to obey.

I kissed a girl and I liked it,
the taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so right.
Don't mean I'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl and I liked it (I liked it).

Us girls we are so magical,
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable.
Hard to resist, so touchable.
Too good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent.

I kissed a girl and I liked it,
the taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so right.
Don't mean I'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl and I liked it (I liked it).

So, following her success, Cobra Starship released the just-as-controversial remix version of the song with altered lyrics sans the video. It was quite popular among the underground music scene listeners.

I Kissed A Boy - Cobra Starship

Yo check it out I’ve got a plan, here’s my intention
The frat boys in the club are lame, let’s start an altercation
It’s just what I’m used to, just want to fuck shit up
I’ve got my whole damn crew, come on what you gonna do

I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
That homeboy was not about it

I know it’s wrong, but I don’t mind
I’m gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it

Now you don’t even know my name, it doesn’t matter
Don’t even front, you’ve got no game, you’re just a sucker
So what now, I clowned you, and I’m stealing your girl too
She wants a secure dude, and that’s just not you

I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
That homeboy was not about it

I know it’s wrong, but I don’t mind
I’m gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it

Me and my bros that’s how we roll, you never know how far we’ll go
I’ll grab some chump that I don’t know
And plant one right on him
You’re only here for our amusement

I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
That homeboy was not about it

I know it’s wrong, but I don’t mind
I’m gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it

And now, borrowing another song title, this time from Rihanna, they are back with 'Good Girls Go Bad' feat Leighton Meester, the bad girl herself from the hit tv show Gossip Girl. How cool is that? The video is soo ironically funny and showcases a blonde Leighton, rather than the brunette Leighton that we're familiar with.

Good Girls Go Bad - Cobra Starship ft Leighton Meester

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad

I know your type (your type)
You're daddy's little girl
Just take a bite (one bite)
Let me shake up your world
'Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
I'm gonna make you lose control

She was so shy
Till I drove her wild

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
You were hanging in the corner
With your five best friends
You heard that I was trouble
But you couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad
Good girls go

I know your type (your type)
Boy, you're dangerous
Yeah, you're that guy (that guy)
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me wanna lose control

She was so shy
Till I drove her wild

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I heard that you were trouble
But I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad

Oh, she got away with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don’t stand a chance
And he got away with the girls in the back
Acting like they're too hot to dance
Yeah, she got away with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got away with the girls in the back
Acting like they’re too hot to dance

I make them good girls go bad
(They don't stand a chance)
I make them good girls go
The good girls go bad, yeah
Good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I heard that you were trouble
But I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad
Good girls go

The Rihanna's song is entitled 'Good Girl Gone Bad' and is and very slow tempo song. It's abt cheating boyfriends and heartbreaks and being patient to a certain limit. It's certainly way different than Cobra Starship's song.
