Ok we know we've been kind of hard on Katy, but we think that if we are all honest with ourselves we know exactly why. She's always come off kind of snotty, and had a forced "OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I'M SUPER FUN AND WILL PROBABLY GIVE YOU A HANDY-J IF YOU BUY ME SHOTS" vibe. Plus she married that hairy scarecrow thing.
So it has been with a certain amount of dismay and dread that we have watched the whole promo campaign for 'Last Friday Night' unfold. First there was the literally epic single cover that showed up on "the blogs." Then there was the cute little teaser that introduced the world to KP's alter ego - the nerdy outcast with thousands of dollars of corrective dental gear named Katy Beth Terry. We knew the day would come when the video would come out in full, and that on that day our WORLD AS WE KNEW IT MAY BE CHANGED FOREVER.
And today, dear readers, is that day.
For there are a lot of amazing things in this song, and more importantly there are a lot of amazing things happening in this video. In fact, a rather large proportion of all the things in the video clip are actually amazing. 95%, to be exact.
There is the wheelchair kid from Glee who somehow learned how to walk for this clip, there is Hanson, there is DEBBIE GIBSON, there is Kenny G, and in a SURPRISE TWIST there is Katy Perry being an actually tolerable person.
Dammit. Now we have to like her.
