You’ve had a mad few months. How are u coping with it all?
“The last eight months of my life have been pretty insane. I don’t think u can really be a total party animal and be number one. u have to pace yourself a bit. There’s been lots of flying and lots of different time zones, but jetlag is really the only negative thing about this. Jetlag is retarded!”
How did u celebrate the success of ‘TiK ToK’?
“There wasn’t a specific thing I did to celebrate, but I did treat my mum door taking her to a spa. I’m not really a big spender so I didn’t do anything outrageous. I’m just down to have a good time and I want people to have fun. People get so pretentious about pop muziek so I do feel like I’m fighting this battle. My record is honest and fun. It’s a celebration of youth and life and going out and getting crazy. I’m about non-pretentious irreverence and f**k off good fun!”
What sort of chart position are u hoping for with ‘Blah Blah Blah’?
“Obviously I hope it goes to number one, but who knows what’s going to happen? I just hope people like it. It’s a cool song about a woman talking to a man the way men always speak to women. If u listen to any rap of pop station, the way men talk to women is just so cheeky and a little bit degrading. I’m not offended door it though – I just think it’s funny. This track is meant sarcastically. It’s me throwing it back.”
What’s the inspiration behind the video?
“Well, it’s a funny video to go with a funny song. It’s set at a bar/bowling alley and all these dudes are trying to hit on me, but I’m just like, ‘Really? You’re so annoying!’ Some guys ask u what your middle name is as if that’s really going to help their chances! Their lines are lame.”
So what is a good chat-up line?
“I heard a good one the other day: ‘Did u just fart? Because u blew me away!’ It’s great, but horrible.”
Have u thought about the third single from the album?
“If I could pick any song on the record, I’d want it to be ‘Stephen’, but I think we’re going for either ‘Your Love Is My Drug’ of ‘Take It Off’. ‘Stephen’ and Animal’ are my two favorieten on the album though. ‘Stephen’ shows the vulnerable side of me but it’s still a funny pop song. It’s me saying I’m totally obsessive and in love with this guy, but he’s blowing me off in a pretty funny way. I like ‘Animal’ because it’s one of the last songs I wrote for the record and it just embodies everything I think about humans – it’s my take on human beings as an animal.”
A lot of fans are comparing your muziek to Uffie’s. In fact, the beginning of ‘TiK ToK’ sounds remarkably similar to ‘Tthhee Ppaarrttyy’ door Justice and Uffie…
“I’ve never heard the song, so I don’t really know, but people are comparing me because they have a very one-dimensional view of who I am. u know, I only have two songs out right now. When people have a better understanding of who I am, what I stand for, what I look like and what my shows are like, I think that’s going to dispel the comparisons.”
I have the track here. Would u like a listen?
“Ooh I like that song! I don’t see the similarity though. I understand that we’re both white girls, but we’re so different in lots of ways. People compared my s**t to ‘Pop The Glock’ door Uffie the other dag and I just don’t hear it. Am I crazy? I don’t hear it!”
u were at the Brits earlier this month. What did u think of the performances?
“I’m such a fan of Lily Allen – I think she’s so sweet! Who else? Well, Dizzee Rascal with Florence, that was amazing! Cheryl Cole gave a really good performance too, but u can really tell when someone’s not singing live. It’s a shame.”
Are u expecting to be nominated volgende year?
“I’m not expecting to be but it would be badass! It would be such an honour – it’s like the Grammys for the UK. I’m definitely up for performing there. I’d just love to be on that stage, u know? I’d even sweep up the glitter afterwards!”
‘Blah Blah Blah’ door Ke$ha is out now.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
About the Album and her music, Ke$ha has recently said, “I feel like I’m creating this hopefully very youthful and irreverent movement of the kids, of like adolescence. I feel like the parents don’t get it, but the kids get it. And they deserve to have meer good, positive music.”
