HIVE OPEN MIC #198 (ENG/ESP): Rebellion -"I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry
(Ver la parte inferior de la publicación para español)
Hello everybody on Hive and especially the Hive Open Mic Community! My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town in South Africa!
Welcome to Week 198 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge. The theme for this week is “Rebelion” – which means “Rebellion” in English (I did double-check haha)!
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve decided to alter my Three Tune Tuesday posts to be based around the Hive Open Mic theme of the week, and how I would go about tackling it. If you are wanting to take part this week, but need some help interpreting what kind of songs would suit the theme, please go check out my post here:

Rebellion? Rebellion against what? Here are the three songs I recommended in the post above:
• “Sunday Bloody Sunday” by U2
• “Wake Up” by Rage Against the Machine
• “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry
Now those first two might make sense as excellent political protest songs, but why did I throw Katy Perry’s debut single in there? Well, in my mind anything that challenges societal norms is a form of Rebellion, and apparently back in 2008 when the song came out, the record label was really worried about whether the song would be allowed on enough radio stations, and how it would be received in more conservative parts of the USA like the Bible Belt.
So, in a funny way, the song fits as a form of Rebellion, so let me put on a wig and pretend to be a bi-curious young lady!
PS: I’ve started a series of tribute posts to famous musicians and songwriters that passed away in 2023. Please check out the third post about Tina Turner here: https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/sclypzzx
Lyrics for “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry
[Verse 1]
This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
[Chorus]
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry ChapStick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
[Verse 2]
No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
You're my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey
[Chorus]
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry ChapStick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
[Bridge]
Us girls, we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent
[Chorus]
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry ChapStick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la comunidad Hive Open Mic! ¡Mi nombre es Jasper y les escribo (y canto) desde Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica!
Bienvenido a la Semana 198 del Hive Open Mic Challenge. El tema de esta semana es “Rebelión”, que significa “Rebelión” en inglés (lo verifiqué dos veces, jaja).
*** Para aquellos de ustedes que no lo saben, he decidido modificar mis publicaciones de Three Tune Tuesday para basarlas en el tema de la semana de Hive Open Mic y en cómo abordarlo. Si deseas participar esta semana, pero necesitas ayuda para interpretar qué tipo de canciones se adaptarían al tema, consulta mi publicación aquí:***
https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/music-tres-tune-tuesday-139
¿Rebelión? ¿Rebelión contra qué? Aquí están las tres canciones que recomendé en la publicación anterior:
• “Domingo Domingo Sangriento” de U2
• “Wake Up” de Rage Against the Machine
• “Besé a una chica” de Katy Perry
Ahora bien, esas dos primeras podrían tener sentido como excelentes canciones de protesta política, pero ¿por qué puse ahí el sencillo debut de Katy Perry? Bueno, en mi opinión, cualquier cosa que desafíe las normas sociales es una forma de rebelión, y aparentemente en 2008, cuando salió la canción, el sello discográfico estaba realmente preocupado por si la canción se permitiría en suficientes estaciones de radio y cómo sería. recibido en partes más conservadoras de los EE. UU. como el Cinturón Bíblico.
Entonces, de una manera divertida, la canción encaja como una forma de Rebelión, ¡así que déjenme ponerme una peluca y fingir ser una joven bicuriosa!
*** PD: Comencé una serie de publicaciones de homenaje a músicos y compositores famosos que fallecieron en 2023. Consulte la tercera publicación sobre Tina Turner aquí: https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick /sclypzzx***
Letra de “I Kissed a Girl” de Katy Perry
[Verso 1]
Esta nunca fue la forma en que planeé
No es mi intención
Me volví tan valiente, bebida en mano
perdí mi discreción
No es a lo que estoy acostumbrado
Sólo quiero probarte
tengo curiosidad por ti
Llamó mi atención
[Coro]
Besé a una chica y me gustó.
El sabor de su lápiz de labios de cereza
Besé a una chica sólo para probarlo.
espero que a mi novio no le importe
Se sintió tan mal, se sintió tan bien
No significa que esté enamorado esta noche
Besé a una chica y me gustó.
me gustó
[Verso 2]
No, ni siquiera sé tu nombre
No importa
Eres mi juego experimental
Sólo la naturaleza humana
No es lo que hacen las chicas buenas.
No como deberían comportarse
Mi cabeza se confunde tanto
Difícil de obedecer
[Coro]
Besé a una chica y me gustó.
El sabor de su lápiz de labios de cereza
Besé a una chica sólo para probarlo.
espero que a mi novio no le importe
Se sintió tan mal, se sintió tan bien
No significa que esté enamorado esta noche
Besé a una chica y me gustó.
me gustó
[Puente]
Nosotras las chicas, somos tan mágicas.
Piel suave, labios rojos, tan besables.
Difícil de resistir, tan tocable.
Demasiado bueno para negarlo
No es gran cosa, es inocente.
[Coro]
Besé a una chica y me gustó.
El sabor de su lápiz de labios de cereza
Besé a una chica sólo para probarlo.
espero que a mi novio no le importe
Se sintió tan mal, se sintió tan bien
No significa que esté enamorado esta noche
Besé a una chica y me gustó.
me gustó

I love the choice of song which you chose and did as cover, it was really great and also the playing of guitar
I love how many pop songs are possible with a 3, 4, or 5 chord pattern - this one wasn't too hard at all!
It was really cool
This is a wonderful entry, singing and playing at the same time isn't always easy. Bro, this a great work from you. You Play and sing so nice
The best tip I can give for playing and singing at the same time is - tap your foot as the unconscious time-keeper, then your guitar playing should sub-consciously follow that, and you focus on your singing... I hope that makes sense.
I will try make a video sometime about the concept...
Oh!Jasper you are incredible
I felt entertained by what I listened here. Its a blessing to have you in openmice.beavo man
My man! Thank you so much for listening always!!!
You are welcome sir
Hello friend, very nice presentation for this week. I like the wig, it's funny.
Hahaha- maybe I should get a wig that stays out of my mouth!
jajajajaj, maybe..
Another form of Rebelion apart from the usual idea of rising against the "power" is also going against the status quo, and this song is a perfect example of that. Excelent interpretation, I enjoyed it very much
I do wonder how a pop song with a similar theme, but by a man, would do? Is the world ready for that?
My friend @jasperdick congratulations you presentations is fantastic
bro, this is an extraordinary action, making female figures is not young because you have to have strong determination, I really appreciate it and this song is cool and I enjoy it.
Keep it up bro, do whatever makes you happy with your work🍻🎸🥰🤟
One of these days I must put more effort into a full outfit and make-up! Hahaha - fishnet stockings on my long, skinny legs!
Hey brother, how are you? Hey, great entry you made, your makeover looks great! Love to you brother God bless you ♥
I once did that app that showed what I would look like as a lady - I must find it! I thought I looked pretty good actually haha!
I've always enjoyed your performances, you have a lot of talent for playing the guitar and singing, but you also have a lot of charisma. I laughed a lot when I saw you wearing the wig.
Well, if I'm not wearing the cover hat of shame, I'd better be wearing the cover wig of shame!
I love Katy Perry... I love her songs... Yes it's true my friend, anything that challenges the norms of society is a way to protest, to rebel against what is common or what is "normal".....
You are art and I liked listening to you, good performance... 🌹🌹💯💯
And the world is changing so fast that sometimes going back to tradition/conservatism is now an act of rebellion too! Hahaha.
Yeah, lots of Katy Perry is so much fun, and we're allowed to have fun as musicians, thank goodness!
