Genny came over and told me 'bout Fred
" He's such a hairy behemoth, " she said
" Dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy. "
And I opened up and told her 'bout Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better
So we laughed
Compared notes
We had a drink, we had a smoke
She took off her over coat
I kissed a girl [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jill_sobule/i_kissed_a_girl.html ]
So she called home to say she'd be late
He said he'd worried but now he feels safe
" I'm glad you're with your girlfriend, tell her hi for me "
So I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes
But it only lasted a little while
And then I felt your hand above my knee
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad I kissed a girl
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl
And I may do it again
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
But better
I kissed a girl
Won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl
The issue i have with this song is that many gay/lesbian people are fairly adamant that being homosexual is how they were born, not something they just tried for fun.
This song will certainly call attention from homophobics in that it says, "just to try it. " that is just asking for critics of the possible genetic contribution to be critical of this argument. So, i am upset that this song is being played. It is going to draw criticism from many regarding gay and lesbian relationships, even if it is at a subconscious level.
