Break Up of Song Lyrics

As the song is 3 minutes and 55 seconds, I wanted to break it up so that when we complete the story boards for our initial idea, we can ensure that the timing is right for each part of the song. So I just copied and pasted the lyrics to the song onto this blog post, and watched the original video to get all of the timings write with the lyrics and different parts of the song. So this is just a break up for us to analyse when creating the video and storyboards.

We are currently are thinking about who we could include for 'Snoop Dogg's' part of the song as there is quite a big bit in the middle of the song where he is rapping. This shouldn't be difficult for us as we have quite a few friends that would be confident enough to play this part. We are also hoping to include a dance for the chorus which will involve a number of girls performing a choreographed dance for the video. More blog posts will be posted soon about these details.


[Snoop Dogg] 0:04-0:07

Greetings, loved ones

Let's take a journey

[Katy Perry - Verse 1] 0:08-0:38

I know a place

Where the grass is really greener

Warm, wet and wild

There must be something in the water

Sippin' gin and juice

Laying underneath the palm trees, undone

The boys, break their necks

Trying to creep a little sneak peek, at us

[Bridge] 0:39-0:53

You could travel the world

But nothing comes close

To the Golden Coast

Once you party with us

You'll be falling in love

Oh oh oh oh

[Chorus] 0:54-1:24

California gurls

We're unforgettable

Daisy dukes, bikinis on top

Sun-kissed skin, so hot

We'll melt your popsicle

Oh oh oh oh

California gurls

We're undeniable

Fine, fresh, fierce

We got it on lock

West coast represent

Now put your hands up

Oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2] 1:25-1:39

Sex on the beach

We don't mind sand in our stilettos

We freak in my Jeep

Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo, oh oh

[Bridge] 1:40-1:54

You could travel the world

But nothing comes close

To the Golden Coast

Once you party with us

You'll be falling in love

Oh oh oh oh

[Chorus] 1:55-2:25

California gurls

We're unforgettable

Daisy dukes, bikinis on top

Sun-kissed skin, so hot

We'll melt your popsicle

Oh oh oh oh

California gurls

We're undeniable

Fine, fresh, fierce

We got it on lock

West Coast represent

Now put your hands up

Oh oh oh oh

[Snoop Dogg - Verse 3 (Rap)] 2:26-2:57

Toned tan, fit and ready

Turn it up 'cause it's getting heavy

Wild, wild, West Coast

These are the girls I love the most

I mean the ones

I mean like she's the one

Kiss her, touch her,

Squeeze her buns

The girl's a freak

She drives a jeep

And live on the beach

I'm okay, I won't play

I love the bait, just like I love L.A.

Venice Beach and Palm Springs

Summer time is everything

Homeboys bangin' out

All that ass hangin' out

Bikinis, zucchinis, martinis

No weenies

Just a king and a queenie

Katy my lady,

[Katy Perry] 2:58

Yeah...

[Snoop Dogg] 2:59

You lookie here baby,

[Katy Perry] 3:00

Uh huh...

[Snoop Dogg] 3:01-3:03

I'm all up on you

'Cause you representin' California

[Katy Perry - Chorus] 3:04-3:37

Ohhh yeahh...

California gurls

We're unforgettable

Daisy dukes, bikinis on top

Sun-kissed skin, so hot

We'll melt your popsicle

Oh oh oh oh

California Gurls

We're undeniable

Fine, fresh, fierce

We got it on lock

West coast represent

Now put your hands up

Oh oh oh oh

California... California Gurls...

[Snoop Dogg] 3:38-3:39

California gurls man...

[Katy Perry] 3:40:3:55

California... California Gurls...
