Review: ET (song) by Katy Perry in response to Extraterrestrial

(Introduction to ET on Atari.  Died after losing his last life)

This is ET on Atari and for odd reason, there were music videos, documentaries, and a whole movie based on this videogame!

I don’t know what’s the big deal about this game!  Something about landfills, crashes, and The Nerd or something.  However, there’s a big deal about this song I’m covering for today.  This is The Rejected Playboy.  For starters, let’s discuss Katy Perry.

Ah, Katy Perry, the gospel singer from Santa Barbara who sang such classics as ‘I kissed a girl’ and ‘Ur So Gay’.  Yep, getting people ‘talking’ was definitely a way to level up your stardom.  Though, ‘Waking Up in Vegas’ isn’t that bad.

During her peak of her career, she had a brief marriage with ‘Russell Brand’, the guy who appeared in the ‘Arthur remake’ and supposedly ‘Drop Dead Fred’.

Katy Perry made a few songs that was theoretically about her relationship including ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘The One that Got Away’, and this topic for today:  ‘ET’

I have to break my character for a moment.  I know ET and how it nearly destroyed the entire videogame industry.  What really boggles me is how this song was titled:  E. T.  

What are you trying to do, piggyback the success of Steven Spielberg?  One company already did that and failed miserably! (Atari)

Wait a minute….are you stating that you have the hots for E. T.?  I don’t want to be too judgemental but, <yeesh>....

Yes, we know he has a thing about Reese’s Pieces and can become a party drunk whenever he pleases, but all he does is collect telephone pieces while running away from mad scientists and the FBI.  The less I say about his finger technique, the better.  

For some odd reason, I don’t want to know about the ‘other’ E. T. movies.  In fact, I’m surprised there’s a Rule 34 for E. T.  

NO, I WON’T SHOW THE CLIPS.  Here’s a drunk parody instead.

Back to the song, at least for a song like E. T., it’s catchy, right?  

Um, no….

(E. T. song)

If anybody’s making a song about intergalactic love, at least make it upbeat.  Katy Perry’s version seems so dull, that it feel forced or something.  Of course, that’s a possibility considering how aliens probe your butt or something.  

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg.  I haven’t covered Kanye’s collaboration.  

Oh, Kanye, how you showboated your antics at the hurricane relief and Taylor Swift, giving you the perception how you don’t understand ‘Fishsticks’.  That’s the problem I have about Kanye.  He claims that he’s one of the most talented musicians in the world and the only thing I heard from him recently is a corny love song for some socialite who got her fame by leaking her sex tape!

Speaking of his guest vocals, it still didn’t add much to Katy Perry.  It probably made it worse because the rap verse didn’t transition well.  

Why can’t we having something a little more energy like these soundtracks from Japan?

Please teacher!

Even ‘A Flock of Seagulls’ had energy!  And this was back in the 80s!

(Space Age Love Song)

Well, at least there couldn’t be any alien songs worse than this.  Right?

(Britney Spears’ ‘Alien’)

Okay you win.  This is ‘The Rejected Playboy’ saying, if you like to swing on the stars and be better off where you are, you rather go to earth (and not listen to ET)!
