OUT: You have this song, 'Ur So Gay,' which is a kiss-off to your ex-boyfriend. What's the story there?
Katy Perry: It stems from heartbreak, like most good songs. You know those relationships where it takes like nine months to dump someone? It was like that. I was home last winter, and my roommate and I were having dinner. I didn't have a chorus for the song, but I played her the verse. I said, 'I don't even know what to say. He's just so gay.' She's like, 'Why don't you just say that?' I said, 'Thank you, that's what I'm gonna say.' It's about guys with guy-liner that use flat irons.
OUT: Do you think he's actually gay?
Katy Perry: No, he's not.
OUT: So why's that the first adjective that popped into your mind?
Katy Perry: Umm' Well, it's just a saying. It's like calling someone a "biiitch.' You're like, 'Hey, biiitch!' It just felt appropriate.
OUT: Do you think the song will be offensive to your gay listeners?
Katy Perry: I think when everyone hears it, they'll laugh. It's very funny and positive and kitsch. It's what Barbra Streisand would be singing if she were my age, I'd hope. I'm getting good energy from it.

I feel like a song called “Christmas Jews” would need to be about going to the movies and eating Chinese food.
