The cast is second behind The Beatles for most chart appearances by a group act in the Billboard Hot 100's history, and holds the record of sixth overall among all artists, with sixty-nine appearances. The cast has sold over thirty six million and over eleven million albums worldwide. The series' cover versions have also had a positive effect on the original recording artists, with sales of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" increasing by 189 percent after the song was covered in the Glee episode "Showmance".
The series features covers of numerous songs sung on-screen by the characters. Musical segments typically take the form of performances, as opposed to the characters singing spontaneously, as the intention is for the series to remain reality-based. Murphy is responsible for selecting all of the songs used, and strives to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits, as: "I want there to be something for everybody in every episode. That's a tricky mix, but that's very important — the balancing of that." Song choices are integral to script development, with Murphy explaining: "Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along."
Glee is choreographed by Zach Woodlee, and features five to eight production numbers per episode. Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast. Woodlee constructs the accompanying dance moves, which are then taught to the cast and filmed. Numbers can take several weeks to prepare, depending on complexity. Each episode costs at least $3 million to produce, and can take up to 10 days to film as a result of the elaborate choreography.
I Kissed a Girl
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This was never the way I planned (Not my intention)
I got so brave, drink in hand (Lost my discretion)
It's not what (I'm used to), just wanna try you on
(I'm curious for you) Caught my attention
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry ChapStick
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it
(No, I don't even know your name) It doesn't matter
(You're my experimental game) Just human nature
(It's not what good girls do) Not how they should behave
(My head gets so confused) Hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry ChapStick
I kissed a girl just to try it, (I hope my boyfriend don't mind it)
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
It ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry ChapStick
I kissed a girl just to try it, (I hope my boyfriend don't mind it)
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it
The song "I Kissed a Girl" by Glee Cast is a cover of Katy Perry's hit song. The lyrics describe a girl who has never been interested in same-sex relationships but suddenly gets curious and kisses another girl while at a party. She enjoys the experience, even though she knows it's not something "good girls" are supposed to do. She acknowledges that it was just an experiment and doesn't necessarily mean she's in love with the girl. Throughout the song, the girl is torn between feeling guilty for her actions and enjoying the experience.
The first verse portrays the girl's curiosity and bravery in trying something new. She had never planned to kiss a girl, but the situation presented itself, and she took the chance. The line "It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on" shows that she's not sure if this is something she wants to do long-term, but she's interested in exploring it. The chorus emphasizes her enjoyment of the experience, despite feeling like it's wrong. The line "It felt so wrong, it felt so right" is a common theme in many songs about taboo relationships.
The second verse delves deeper into the girl's conflicted feelings. She knows that what she's doing goes against societal norms and what she's been taught, but she can't resist the temptation. The bridge of the song is interesting because it shifts the focus to celebrate female sexuality instead of condemning it. The lines "Us girls we are so magical, soft skin, red lips, so kissable" celebrate the beauty of women and their ability to connect with each other. The song ends on a positive note, with the girl acknowledging that her actions are innocent and not a big deal.
Overall, "I Kissed a Girl" is a catchy song that explores the topic of same-sex curiosity and experimentation. It is a song that resonates with many people who have ever explored their sexuality and felt conflicted about it.
