Song: Teenage Dream. Artist: Glee Newcomer Darren Criss & Tufts University’s Beelzebubs on background vocals.

If for some reason you live under a rock and haven’t heard this yet, stop and listen. I am so behind on my tivo, however so many people were talking about this yesterday that I checked it out and have been listening to it like non-stop since.

Seriously a capella music is one of my FAVORITES and I’m a huge fan of this song despite not generally liking Katy Perry. I saw this quote today from former MTV VJ Dave Holmes: “I’ve done the calculations and there’s no getting around it- the a capella "Teenage Dream” from Glee is the greatest thing in human history.“

The more I think about the possible cultural impact of this song it excites me. This is a gay teen singing this song to another gay teen on a network show. Amazing. I hope that the people who are a fan of the song also realize the social impact as well. Mainstreaming a song centered about love and sex between 2 gay teens – I hope Glee keeps it up!
