In what has to be one of the most random musical pairing in some time, Katy Perry has teamed up with Snoop Dogg for new single ‘California Gurls’. Produced by hitmaker Dr Luke, the song works surprisingly well – rolling into one simplistically stellar production (which gives a nod to early Madonna), an infectious sing-along-song chorus, and a killer verse from Snoop. Undoubtedly, a summer smash.
Take a listen below…
everyone seems to love it, except for me. it sounds so cheap.
I so agree Sam! This song goes hard shockingly! Dr. Luke produced the hell outta this record! Katy comin’ with heat this time around i see! Really looking forward to her new record!
What i thought you arleady post this any way the song is hot
Sounds like Tik Tok. Not as good as her previous 4 singles but still, not bad
Deffo a massive hit very remiscent of Holiday by Madonna but a hit
This is Katy’s song for LA, like her own response to Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z. It is a great summer song and is a movement to more of a Pop sound for Katy and it’s really good. Love Snoop in it 2. Also Dr Luke has produced songs for Miley (Party In USA) and Ke$ha (Tik Tok) so when you listen to the instrumental, Dr Luke has used similar instruments to PINUSA and TT and added some other instruements so of course it will sound a little similar but I think all producers have familiar sounding songs (like their signature style) and this is another to fit under this. I think it will do well.
I LOVE IT 😀 ITS A SURE HIT

its a nice song but am i the only one that hears Tik Tok by Ke$ha in this song at the beginning?
the beat…
anyways Dr. Luke produced that song so i can’t hate
nice song definetly a hit… =)
@magdalena
exactly… I think that there is nothing special about this song but everyone seems to love it
Heard this the other day and I like
It sounds just like Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok”
Doesn’t matter because Katy Perry sucks…her personality is fake (wanna be a Vargas girl so bad)…her singing is just as good as Kesha’s (catch the shade in that)…and she has Snoop on the track…he might be a legend in the rap game, but he has been corny since the new millenium
Wait why is everybody copying everybody this b**** sounds like kesha. This song sounds horrible. If I want to listen to kesha I’ll go listen to tik tok.
I’m not impressed. SHAME ON THE PRODUCER! This sounds like something left off of Kesha’s, Gaga’s, or Taio Cruz’s albums. I don’t mind the producers using the same genre but when they serve you the same song it is just UNACCEPTABLE!
With that being said this will probably be a hit. Americans are so dumb and gullable they will think this is the hottest song this summer. Meanwhile its the same song they’ve been serving you. They didn’t even bother to change the melody! SMH Shame shame shame!
I don’t like it! She can’t f****** sing…seems like they just passing out record deals to anyone these dayz…ummm
Sounds EXACTLY like tik-tok
It’s ok. I like Katy, but the song is just ok.
Of course it would sound like Tick Tock it’s the same damn producer! Shame on you Dr. Luke. I hate when a producer has a hit with one song and tries to pawn it off on the public as another song disguised with another artist attached to it. All they are trying to do is cash in on the success of Dr. Luke’s other song Tick Tock. It’s a damn shame the way the industry is today. I bet you they are going to make this a hit. And you all know who I mean by “they.” No creativeness anymore it’s annoying.
Dead @ the Betty Paige look that her and another celebrity are trying to potray LMAO
This is a rip off ov britneys spears trouble i am sure dr luke was involved in that 2!! take a listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIH8zj67kZw
am i right?
love this song it sounds 100x better than tick tock
sounds like something ke$ha would do……
Terrible
Hmm…I wonder if this song will help the Cali bankrupt economy!
so tired of some of these artists throwing a rapper on for urban cred

Song is really catchy, but people around the net have been saying (for days) it sounds like:
1) Ke$ha “TiK ToK”
2) Britney Spears “Trouble” [LOVVVE that song!]
3) Wynter Gordon “Dirty Talk” [LOVVVE that song too!]
4) Madonna “Celebration”
I think it sounds like a bit of each of them combined, mostly like “TiK ToK” from the synth, and the “whoa oh a whoa a” part, they chorus, during the chorus, you can sing “TiK ToK” ‘s chorus along to it, and it fits, damn near perfectly!
Still a catchy song. And I’m not sure how they are such a random pair, they are both from CALIFORNIA, and obv rep that. Now if it was something like a Beyonce/Eminem collabo, or a Bow Wow/Ke$ha collabo, those seem more awkward to me!
I like it! But it does sound like everything else that’s out now. And I think her voice is too good for stuff like this!
I LOVE Katy Perry, though!
Love it
And she can sing listen to thinking of you
Check out Cash Cash and their song ” Party in your Bedroom”.
it’s the same song.
LAME!
it may sound like TIK TOK, but this song is much better.
Umm why are people surprise that is sound similar to tik tok..the same producer produced it..
like somebody says, most big producers has a signature style. u hear a song u gonna be like oh i know who the producer is..
listen to all of neyos songs, most of them sound similar..and they were hits.
I understand where most people coming from, when they say sometimes it gets annoying hearing the same beat over and over again, from different artist with the same producers.
This screams Kesha big time. I betcha wrote it.
California Girlsssss.
It’s just love.
Ke$ha watch your back .. Katy is back b****!
the only difference is kesha can’t sing and katy perry can..kesha is all auto tune…i saw her in SNL and she sucks balls a saw katy perry do her whole album on fuse and it was awsome and that was before i was a fan
of course it sound the same just like you can tell when timberland produce something (indian beats) or the dream produces something ( slowed 808s) its like a signature thing all producers have…ppl are so dumb sometimes
Love it. Reminds me a lot of Sariah’s “Deep N Luv”. Check it out: http://www.myspace.com/sariahmusicnow
Nice but shouldn’t in a million years to be a lead single…………a fourth may be!!!
It doesnt sound that much like tik tok and if it does then it is ten times better anyway. This song is a bigg hit. I LOVE IT. and I LOVE Katy Perry!
Definatly my summer anthem! (:
To all of you who think that this song sounding like another is a crime (especially to the one who said “what’s happened to this industry”)… why don’t you ask your Mom or Dad… or even your Grandma and Grandpa… it’s ALWAYS been this way. Producers are just like artists… they do what they do best and ride their (sound) wave until it’s not popular anymore.
This song is a hit… and deserves to be… it’s nice to hear some real “pop” music back on the radio again!
this is a rockin song
great song lov v v v ve it
Add Miley to the mix…
