🎂 The Russian pop duo t.A.T.u. roleplayed as lesbians to sell their smash single “All The Things She Said.” But was it all bad? On the song’s 20th anniversary, writer jillboard explains why the song is still a queer staple.
So Jill, what runs through your head when I say,"All the things she said running through my head?"You recently released your first memoir called"Girls Can Kiss Now." In it you write,"All of the wistfulness of staring out of a car window, that yearning for something, anything to whisk you away from your sad, dull life, that's lesbianism." Why is that lesbianism?
GUTOWITZ: That is it. That's everything I just said in a jumbled way. That's a poetic way of saying, 'I'm looking out the window wistfully and wishing I was with a woman.' DAISY JONES: She was having dental surgery and was on some strong medication, as you get when you go to the dentist, and had a dream that she was kissing another woman. She woke up saying,"I've lost my mind!" And that and that refrain was going around and around in her mind for a while after this dental surgery. And she went to her business partner and turned it into a song.Lena Katina and Julia Volkova were then picked to sing this song by the producer and the writer.
GUTOWITZ: Oh my God. It does. You know, there's the case of Katy Perry's 'I Kissed a Girl,' which was similar. At the time there weren't many major pop radio hits talking about girls kissing girls. That being said, the lyrics were homophobic and painted queerness as something to do while your boyfriend's away or while you're drunk. But Katy Perry has since come out and grappled with that publicly and been like, 'Yeah, I regret some of those lyrics.
