Teenage Nightmare

My sweet husband came home last night and asked me if I had heard the new Katy Perry song about "feeling up my skin tight jeans." I was definitely confused.

ME: Do you mean California Girls?
HUBS: No, this one is about teenagers and feeling up skin tight jeans. Hold on a sec...

Enter YouTube lyric videos. Allow me share with you (in case you don't listen to the radio or just change the station when dreck comes on, like me) the lyrics to the newest release from Katy Perry...

Teenage Dream

You think I’m pretty Without any makeup on
You think I’m funny When I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me So I let my walls come down, down

Before you met me I was a wreck but things
Were kinda heavy You brought me to life
Now every February You’ll be my Valentine, Valentine

Let’s go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever

You make me feel Like I’m livin’ aTeenage dream
The way you turn me on I can’t sleep
Let’s run away and Don’t ever look back, Don’t ever look back

My heart stops When you look at me
Just one touch Now baby I believe
This is real So take a chance and Don’t ever look back, Don’t ever look back

We drove to Cali And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you My missing puzzle piece
I’m complete

Let’s go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever

I’mma get your heart racing In my skin tights jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me In my skin tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

Excuse me while I vomit.

Hubs and I tried to decide what was worse: that Perry is encouraging this behavior in teens or that she is singing to adults about the "remember when" feeling. Either way she is discussing teenagers getting drunk and having sex.

Yippee.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to go pray for the future of our world.
