Got eight minutes eleven seconds spare? Then you could watch the new video by Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.). Filmed as a spoof of American teen dramas it sees a braced up Katy Perry (does anyone ever really wear braces that big outside of TV?) waking up to find her house in disarray, a man in her bed and no clue about what happened. Cue a flashback to the night before and her being disturbed by a party and going round to complain, finding out it's been hosted by Rebecca "Friday" Black and finding herself joining it, getting made up by Black (though I'm sure she looked better before to be honest!)
Cue a dance off, sax solo and some more singing of the chorus, including references to breaking the law, skinning dipping and, er, menage et trois. If there was anything to turn your stomach more than Katy Perry - sorry, Kathy Terry - vomiting in a shoe it's the thought of Russell Brand and her in a threesome.
Inspired by a mostly real-life experience apparently, the song is quite catchy but the atmosphere is ruined by a video that constantly stops and starts, and I hate that in videos. Throw in some actually really rubbish humour poking fun at people with braces, it only redeems itself with a nod and a wink to Rebecca Black and her hit and an appearance by Hanson after years of being hidden away.
Overall it's not a bad song, but not up to her previous hits, and any music video that boasts a two-minute credit sequence is stupid.
My last friday night was better... I think!
