Song of the Moment: I Kissed A GirlIt seems to have gone forgotten in all the rage, but it's a thousand times better. Released: October 1995 * From Wikipedia: "The song 'I Kissed a Girl' was banned from many radio stations in southern American states due to its controversial lyrics wherein Sobule describes her character cheating on her boyfriend with a female friend. In response to the banning, Sobule jokingly reminisced: 'I felt like Ice-T [with his song] Cop Killer." * The song reached 67 on the Billboard Hot Tracks chart. * LYRICS: Genny came over and told me 'bout Fred So we laughed So she called home to say she'd be late And we laughed at the world I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet And we laughed at the world I kissed a girl her lips were sweet I kissed a girl * From today's New York Times Arts Listings: JILL SOBULE (Wednesday): Years before the nascent pop star Katy Perry sang lasciviously about kissing a girl, Jill Sobule parlayed the notion into a quirky hit: in 1995, Ms. Sobule's "I Kissed a Girl," with its strummed guitars and sweet lyrics, earned her passing infamy. Now Ms. Sobule, an accomplished singer and songwriter, has released her seventh album, Jill Sobule Sings Prozak and the Platypus," the soundtrack to a play ("Prozak and the Platypus") she helped write. At 9:30 p.m., Joe's Pub, at the Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street, at Astor Place, East Village, (212) 967-7555, joespub.com; $18.
