Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’ Is ‘Infectious,’ Brian Wilson Says

‘I’m flattered that Snoop Dogg used our lyric on the tag,’ the Beach Boys’ co-founder says. By James Montgomery Katy Perry in her music video for “California Gurls” Photo: Capitol Records In 1965, the Beach Boys released “California Girls,” a song that would not only become one of their biggest hits, but one of the most influential rock tunes of all time too. Forty-five years later, Katy Perry dropped “California Gurls,” a song that has quickly become one of her biggest hits , but still has a ways to go in the legacy department. It may very well be on its way — at least according to legendary Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson, who, along with Mike Love, wrote the original “Girls” back in the day. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times ‘ Pop & Hiss blog , he admitted to being a fan of the song — and a little bit flattered by Perry’s updated homage. “I love her vocal. … She sounds very clear and energetic,” he said in a statement issued by his manager. “The melody is infectious, and I’m flattered that Snoop Dogg used our lyric on the tag. I wish them well with this cut.” Of course, as Pop & Hiss points out, Perry and Snoop probably don’t need Wilson’s well-wishes (though they no doubt appreciate them). After all, “Gurls” is currently spending its sixth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart — it also tops the brand-new Songs of the Summer chart too — and has already sold more than 2.6 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. So far, Perry has remained mum on Wilson’s praise (she’s basically been tweeting about “Inception” nonstop), and a spokesperson for her label, Capitol, did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment by press time. Make your pick: “California Girls” or “California Gurls”? Sound off in the comments! Related Artists Katy Perry

Justin Bieber Fans Cry, Collide During L.A. Tour Stop

‘We’re all running into each other, bumping each other in the head on accident,’ one fan tells MTV News at the Nokia Theatre. By MTV News Staff Justin Bieber performs in Los Angeles on Tuesday Photo: Robyn Beck/ Getty Images A gaggle of Justin Bieber fans descended on the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Tuesday night to see their pop idol in concert. It was the latest stop on the Biebs’ My World Tour, which kicked off earlier this summer in Hartford, Connecticut . And judging by the response after the show, Bieber definitely delivered. One L.A. fan described the concert experience as “the best day of my life,” and that seemed to be the general consensus from the crowd. “It was amazing,” a tween fan raved to MTV News once the show ended. “I’ve been to, like, every Justin Bieber show in Los Angeles and this was probably my favorite.” Yet another fan revealed that the vibe inside the Nokia was so intense that fans kept bumping into one another. “We were so excited we could barely stand next to each other,” she said. “We’re all bumping into each other. We’re all running into each other, bumping each other in the head on accident. It’s everything [that makes me love him]. You know he has that perfect hair. He has that little hair swoop.” A teen Bieber fan had a confession: “I thought I would never cry. I cried on this concert.” It seems Justin’s performing the ballad “Down to Earth” inspired serious tears. In fact, the song has become something of a fan favorite on the My World Tour, with one admirer saying she loved “when he got up and he was floating on the heart. It was really hot.” By the end of the concert, though, it was clear that many fans couldn’t pin down exactly what it was about Bieber that had made them swoon most. “His smile. His hair — the way he flips it. His eyes. The way he sings, the way he dances,” one fan gushed. “He’s captivating. He’s a performer. He’s all of the world.” Will you buy tickets to see Bieber in concert this summer? Tell us in the comments!
