How did California Gurls come about??
The inspiration for California Girls came when Katy watched her friends go crazy at a party listening to Jay-Z’s salute to New York, “Empire State of Mind.” “Everybody was holding their drinks in the air and dancing, and I thought, ‘We’re not in New York, we’re in Los Angeles! What about California? What about all the homies, the gin and juice, the swaying palm trees, the sun-kissed skin 24-7,’” Perry recalls. “I decided that we needed to make a response. I want people to want to book a ticket to California the first time they hear it!” And because it’s practically un-American to release a song that mentions gin and juice without Snoop Dogg, Perry recruited the rap icon to contribute his inimitable vocals to “California Gurls.” “We thought it would sound so cool and give the song another dimension,” she says. “Snoop is as West Coast as it gets.”
But I’m biased. Not just biased because I work for Air’s record label, mainly biased because this is the first time I’ve ever solved a sliding tile puzzle! I remember getting the plastic version of these things in birthday party loot bags when I was a kid and getting so frustrated because I couldn’t solve them. This particular sliding tile puzzle is better for more reasons than stroking my ego:
1) It’s not from the dollar store
2) It comes with a fantastic soundtrack; Air’s new single, “Sing Sang Sung”
3) You can give it to your friends without ever getting out of your chair.
