American singer-songwriter Jill Sobule has hit out at Katy Perry for writing a song with the same title as one of her own. Let's just hand straight over to Jill to explain it.
She told The Rumpus: "For those that don't know or are very young, I had a song in 1995 called, 'I Kissed A Girl'. ... As a musician I have always refrained from criticising 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... cause, 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.God that felt good".
