Talk:Katy Perry:I Kissed A Girl
From LyricWiki
This song shouldn't be under parental advisory. The text is not really explicit, she kissed a girl to try out and is not in love. Furthermore Katy Perry explained the meaning of the song that she wanted to sing about beautiful women, so beautiful that even women are impressed by their look. -- Chris 15:53, 25 August 2008 (EDT)
- We don't have any criterion for applying PA here. If someone wants to stick it on a song about puppies and rainbows, they can. --Aquatiki - T - E 00:39, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
- Well of course, but everyone who notices would remove this label at once if you'd stick it on a song about puppies and rainbows, because it's just not sensible there. I can understand that some might like to have this lyric under PA, because its inappropiate to kiss a girl as a girl. But I am not one of them and if there are no rules on where to stick pa onto, then there are no rules where to remove or not. But this would be childish because I remove you revert I remove again and so on, so not really helpful. So I would like to discuss about this song, and I would like to see which specific line or paragraph did let you add the pa-label. Maybe I then can understand what is "wrong" about this song. -- Chris 14:38, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
- First off, I never really saw the use of that template anyway. It's mostly used now for songs which contain a word like "fuck" once or twice, usually in terms like "fucked up". I don't think it is ever used with another argument than the default. And if you want to use it anyway, use {{Parental Advisory}} instead of {{Pa}}, it also pushes down the offensive lyrics. Secondly, I understand that in some cases use of the template may be defendable or even desirable, but I really don't see why it would have to be on this song. We can make it a vote, but I say: speedy delete ;) (wow I'm getting the hang of this Wikipedia jargon) --Mischko <img src="/images/3/31/Talkicon.png" alt="Talk to me" /> <img src="/images/1/1e/EsperanzaIcon.png" alt="Esperanza Member" /> 17:07, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
- I have a different understanding than either of you. When I said someone could stick it on "puppies and moonbeams", I meant that it would stay on there. No one can take it off, once it's on. We are non-judgmental about people sensibilities and if someone wants PA on, then it's on, end of story. Otherwise, we supposing there is some consensus of morality or we're attempting to institute a system of ethics. I don't think Wikipedia policy applies here. --Aquatiki - T - E 17:41, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
