"I Kissed a Girl" Kissed the #1 Spot Goodbye...

...and probably didn't like it.

That's right. Rihanna's hit "Disturbia" takes the #1 spot, beating out Katy Perry's tongue-in-cheek experimentation hit "I Kissed a Girl." I imagine "I Kissed a Girl" enjoyed those six weeks it was #1 on the Digital Songs chart while they lasted. I also imagine it had a summer fling with the Jonas Brothers' song "Pushing Me Away" and a brief coffee date with "Burnin' Up," also by the Jonas Brothers. Next up will be a girlfight with "Disturbia," as it and "I Kissed a Girl" vie for the attention of digital music downloaders/listeners worldwide. Stay tuned, folks.

While "I Kissed a Girl" is a catchy tune, I figure the reason why it was #1 for six straight weeks was because so many people wanted to write parodies to it. One parody I saw (and watched) was "I Kissed a Dude" on Ebaumsworld. (I imagine it will be available on YouTube as well.) Another was the hilarious "I Kissed a Squirrel," courtesy of cabaret artist Jackie Beat and popular celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who was kind enough to provide the laugh. (I have yet to join the entourage so I can post a comment.)

Perhaps I will give "Disturbia" a listen so I can post my vote within the coming days.
