Katy Perry does a ballad and it works somehow. We are as surprised as you are - listen now!

What are the words you think of when you think of Katy Perry?  If you're anything like us, it's words like "cheap hair dye" and "genital herpes,"  but we think we speak for everyone when we say that "effective" and "balladeer"  are not among them.  That all may change with new single 'Teenage Dream,' which manages to shoehorn the K.P. trademark sound into a ballad form in a way 'Waking Up In Vegas' attempted but failed miserably at.  After the all-conquering 'California Gurls' and now this, it seems Miss Perry might actually be here to stay.  While that prospect terrifies us, we can at least take some comfort that with every single she releases, Valtrex stock doubles in value.
