Extraterrestrial Deer Legs? Really?

Have you ever heard a song and loved it so much that you played it on a constant loop, over and over, until it's so ingrained in your brain that you even hear it in your sleep? Yeah, me too. When Katy Perry's Teenage Dream released last year, E.T. was the song responsible for my liking her music. It was the first song of Katy Perry's that I downloaded. It complemented the MS I was writing at the time and the words had my imagination sparking like a firework (hehe)! Anyway, I only just came across the music video today, and all I can say is that I'm happy I didn't see her 'take' on the song before I formed my own opinion. Wow, talk about different! (In both awesome and not-so-awesome ways!) And I'm not sure why she keeps using Kayne West?? His lyrics are...well, you'll have to see for yourself. Just be aware that it does have some explicit content.  Here's what Katy P. had to say about the video:


"In the end of the world scenery, a human may not look like everything we'd imagine it to look like," Katy explained on her decision to cast albino model Shaun Ross. "[The ending is] almost kind of symbolic. It looks a bit like the beginining of time in the end of time. Like an Adam and Eve situation, like trying to start again in a post-apocalyptic world."




Without further ado:


Here's the album version--so you can hear it without all the extras. (lol, try not to dwell on the spelling mistakes, if you can!)



So what do you think?
