California Girls

TiK ToK

via jeffwongdesign. When I first heard California Gurls, I noticed the 8bit synth and simple electro pop kick snare pattern. It immediately reminded me of TiK Tok. So after looking up the producers, it turns out the both Ke$ha and Katie Perry hired Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. These two have also produced some other notable smash singles for Katie Perry “I Kissed a Girl”, Britney Spears “Circus”, and Ke$ha “Blah Blah Blah. Expect to hear more of these electro pop producers soon. They’re topping the charts on billboard.com. – Jeff Wong (Kameleons)

So apparently, Lady Gaga originally wrote “Telephone” with producer Rodney Jerkins for Britney Spear’s album Circus. Listen to the heavily-autotuned Britney Spears version below. Britney must be kicking herself for passing on this smash hit. Hah. Oh, and if you didn’t know, Lady Gaga actually writes most of her own material (unlike most other Pop/R&B singers).
