Katy Perry's "California Gurls"

KATY PERRY’S SUMMER SIZZLE: “Daisy Dukes/bikinis on top/Sun-kissed skin so hot/It’ll melt your popsicle.” That’s the refrain from “California Gurls,” the first single from Katy Perry’s new Capitol Records album, Teenage Dream, set for release on August 24. Perry says she was inspired to write the ode to SoCal, which features a rap from Snoop Dogg, by Jay-Z’s “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!” For a preview, go to www.katyperry.com. (5/11p)
