February 7, 201411 yr Author # 3.Ur So Gay tWbLkXhGEmo Katy's promotional single about Pavel a metrosexual boy named Greg. The song "wasn't meant to be a big single or show what the album is going to be all about. That was for my Internet bloggers, so I'm not coming out of nowhere." For the release of the single, Perry's label told her to include a cover. She originally wanted to cover a Queen song, but couldn't think of one that was particularly club-worthy. While at a club with her friends, The Outfield's "Your Love" was played. Perry said that when the song came on, every girl in the place went onto the dance floor, and she wanted to have that same effect.

February 7, 201411 yr TOTGA is a great song, but it's far from underrated. TOY is the definition of underrated! Or maybe Teenage Dream (song).
February 9, 201411 yr Author One Of The Boys gKmpbidULGc * "One Of The Boys" wasn't a single, but it's my third favourite Katy's song behind top 2 singles from this countdown. Should be a single instead "Thinking Of You".
February 9, 201411 yr Katy's promotional single about Pavel only I DO like boys so this is wrong, even if it was so sweet of you to mention me <3
February 9, 201411 yr Well... your #1 is one of my favourites also! Interesting to see you're more of a One Of The Boys fan but kind of not surprised, you often like the pop-rock type sound with Eurovision entries, I've noticed and she was closer to that side with that era. Cheers for the countdown, Alex!
