Timbaland Feat. Katy Perry – If We Ever Meet Again – Zooey Deschanel – Uh-Huh
“Hey, did you ever meet my friend Ian? He’s a computer hacker. He helped me erase your Myspace page. And your band’s Myspace page. And your Facebook page. Happy networking asshole.” (-Zooey Deschanel)
Has everyone ever noticed how ridiculously similar Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel look? Silly question. If you’ve seen both of them you’re sure to recognize some similarities. Well today you get the best of both worlds: a new Katy Perry song, and a cute little Zooey Deschanel song.
“If We Ever Meet Again,” a track from Timbaland’s Shock Value II, is a collaboration of Timbaland himself and Ms. Perry. The track, I’d say, is the most catchy on the whole album. The lyrics execute a story of mystery and love. The beat produces a catchy support system to Katy Perry’s passionate voice and creates the desire to dance. To accompany the song, the music video displays a romance of two criminals. When listening, however, the song seems more appropriate in describing love at the club.

“Uh-Huh” happens to be a track from Deschanel’s character’s band, “Munchausen By Proxy,” in the movie Yes Man. I saw the movie a couple of days ago and was moved by Deschanel’s adorable performance and quirky lyrics. The instrumentals are a simple synth. Repetitive and maybe annoying actually. Her presence on stage in the movie is worth watching, but the song may not transfer well without that context in your mind. The song is a break up song filled with hostile lyrics, yet sung with such pleasantness. Anyone familiar with Deschanel, or looking for some sort of aid for their post-break up status, should give it a try.
And personally, I’d choose Zooey Deschanel anyday.
The first time I saw the Katy Perry Proactive commercials I thought for a second that it was Zooey Deschanel.
