how is it possible that two people here, from the u.s. anyway, hadn't heard the song before today?

even if there's radio silence, it's been all over the place on tv, at sporting events, etc., for months.

Responses:

Coincidentally, I heard it for the first this afternoon. -- nm - David Aug 2, 15:54 7
- I would have thought you had the video on repeat for weeks now. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:55 6
  - with the advent of readily available internet porn, cheesecake stuff is rendered redundant. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 15:57 2
    - the cheesecake is pretty literal in this case. and whipped cream. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:59
    - You know, I really like when people do 1940s cheesecake shoots. They're fun. -- nm - David Aug 2, 15:58
  - My knowledge of her is largely reserved to HWDYK images from pfm. -- nm - David Aug 2, 15:56
  - He does. Just on mute - Will Hunting Aug 2, 15:55 1
    - that, I can believe. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:56
I'm sure I've never heard it. Or if I have, I didn't know it. -- nm - Callisto Aug 2, 15:49
I don't listen to pop radio and I don't seek out music. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 15:47 3
- there's a lot less of pop being "in the air" today than there used to be. - loosilu Aug 2, 15:49 2
  - I'm going with Indiana music stations suck. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 15:50 1
    - since I'm in DC, for once I can't blame it on Remlik. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:50
The only time I've heard the Kisha song was in the Star Trek mash-up, and California Gurls only when the video was posted on ST. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Aug 2, 15:42
It's easy. I don't listen to radio or watch sporting events. Have not heard it on TV either. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:37 26
- you kids and yer newfangled technomaligcal deevices! -- nm - Ol Lady Loosee Aug 2, 15:39 25
  - so where do *you* think I would hear it? -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:41 24
    - that's a good point... - Remlik Aug 2, 16:22 3
      - laughing. I boycott DC radio. It's terrible. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 16:24 2
        
        I found a DC radio station that I *love*. - kelly Aug 2, 16:33 1
        
        *intrigued* -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 16:35
    - just on tv. in addition to awards shows, and promos for same, it's been used in various other shows. - b. Aug 2, 15:47 15
      - what's a TV commericial? and what awards show used it? it's harder for pop songs to pervade culture now. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:48 14
        
        I'm not sure why you're being difficult about this, but I'm not going to play anymore. -- nm - b. Aug 2, 15:48 12
        
        You're the one insisting that we must have heard. Why not just believe us when we say, to our knowledge, we haven't? -- nm - mara Aug 2, 15:51 11
        
        I don't think b was saying that at all. She was expressing surprise, not passing judgement. - musubi Aug 2, 16:11 1
        
        me and others. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 16:17
        
        I never said that. I believe people haven't heard it, or at least known a snippet in passing was that song; but it's surprising because it's been - b. Aug 2, 15:57 5
        
        I didn't appreciate the "what's wrong with you" undertone. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:59 4
        
        I thought everyone would have heard the Beach Boys do California Girls by now. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with oak molding Aug 2, 16:14
        
        Like anyone needs to ask. - Dr.Vermin Aug 2, 16:10
        
        I didn't mean to imply that at all, and it's not how I feel. - b. Aug 2, 16:02 1
        
        thanks for the clarification. I thought I heard it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 16:16
        
        this. -- nm - kelly Aug 2, 15:55
        
        But, but, but mara, I thought STers were supposed to click on *all* links. - CovingtonCat Aug 2, 15:53
        
        that's all I was saying. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:51
        
        it's never been easier -- nm - chuckles Aug 2, 15:48
    - [deleted]
    - youtube etc. -- nm - chuckles Aug 2, 15:42 2
      - which means you have to go look at it deliberately. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:45 1
        
        to clarify: I have heard it, and I did have to go look at it deliberately. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:47
This baffles me too. -- nm - Tim Aug 2, 15:36
I honestly don't know if I've ever heard it before. - musubi Aug 2, 15:35 8
- I know what she looks like because I love her makeup. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:40
- Me neither. -- nm - mara Aug 2, 15:38
- some people are *sheltered* -- nm - b. Aug 2, 15:36 5
  - I'm kilbo-style blissfully unaware of musical acts nowadays. (nm) - musubi Aug 2, 15:38 3

      - It's not so much a conscious choice as it is I've converted to NPR over commercial radio in my car. - musubi Aug 2, 15:44 1
        
        clear channel suhuhuhucks. I can't listen for more than ten minutes. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 15:46
  - I believe the word is "blessed". -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 15:37
