Leaving Las Vegas
"Waking up in Vegas" is Katy Perry's latest,and it has her trademark humor. It's a bittersweet look at a fling in Vegas. In the video, she and her boyfriend enjoy the shows, win the $$$, bathe in the glamor... but the song ends with them losing all their money, going to a laundromat, and having to steal goodies off of room service trays. (There's even a Penn and Teller cameo) "Waking" is about awakening from self-indulgence. Considering the state of the economy, Perry's song is poignant and bittersweet.

Great song
This song is just perfect for singing and dancing around the house. I love Katy Perry and this song will make a great addition to any person's collection.

Katy Has Glitter On Her Shoulders, & Dressed Up Like Elvis
For Katy Perry, over the top is just the tip of the iceberg, from her original/strange lyrics, to her outrageous outfits/stage presence, she's truly an original figure. It's this strange newness that turns you off at first, but eventually it'll overtake you i.e. Hot N' Cold. Waking Up In Vegas is lyrically original, has a great melody taking a building up approach, and the song is possibly even more catchy then any of her previous singles. "Shut up and put your money where your mouth is, that's what you get for waking up in Vegas. Get up and shake the glitter of your shoulders..." It's crazy...

Overall, this song should not stay in Vegas, and could be Perry's best effort thus far. Still not amazing, but good enough for your iPod.
