In answer to my question "Has Rufus Wainwright ever done a cover of "I Kissed a Girl"?", azurelunatic pointed this out:

The context being that it was one of the songs used on Glee.

The other context being that Lider, one of Israel's top singer-songwriters, has been out for several years.

Though come to think of it, from what I've heard both of the characters who sang "I Kissed a Girl" on Glee were also gay.

It was more of a group effort than a duet

I meant Santana (though as you point out she's singing with the rest of the characters) and, last season, Blaine. But I'm going by half-glimpsed promos and half-remembered discussions since I stopped watching the show in the first season.

There's another show I have no interest in now that I've seen a clip.

The person in plaid at 1:04 really does not look thrilled with this.

lovely how it goes from Perry's 'tee hee' moment to a searching introspective moment of orientation questioning.

Also, totally loved the cottaging going on in the background.

It really is a lovely transformation.

Thank you for linking it, James.

The first time I watched this, I entirely missed that bit, and was delighted to discover it this time around.

I believe I have jai_dit to thank for introducing me to this.

I refuse to recognize the existence of this song. Everyone knows the real "I Kissed a Girl" is Jill Sobule's. TEAM SOBULE 4 LYFE.

The entry I couldn't get to propagate over here mentioned that song.

I did not know of the original version until you mentioned it. Now I definitely prefer it. Thank you!

+1. Unfortunately, the Katy Perry song came out not long before I was looking for dance remixes/covers of Jill Sobule's (far superior) song and it was horribly annoying.

It will not surprise you to learn that the Jill Sobule song I have played over and over again is "Jetpack." Good New York song, good jetpack song.
