80s remix: Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg - California Gurls (1983) | exile synthwave remix 

Bumping. I can smell the hairspray.

I still have this cassette, it was hard to find in 1983.

I remember this singer. Her name is Katheryn Hudson (born 1954) and she was famous singer in the 1980s. Katheryn had a lot of hit songs including "I kissed me a girl (1981), Hot N cold (1982) , but she was well known for her songs “California Girls" and "Teenage Dream" in 1983 which they became her biggest hits and her signature songs. 27 years later, her daughter Katheryn Hudson Jr covered "California Girls" with rapper Snoop Dogg and it became a hit again in 2010. Because she didn’t want anyone to know her famous mum, Katheryn Jr adopted Katy Perry as her stage name and also she didn’t want to get confused with actress Kate Hudson. The male who is rapping in the song above is Calvin Broadus, who coincidentally is the father of rapper Snoop Dogg!

I like the lore in the comment section.

Her voice fits so perfectly to this 80s style. It's so amazing. In general, it's so crazy how these 80s vibes are making this and much other modern pop songs so much better. Pretty sad that I wasn't born in this time. I love the 80s music.

I remember when she performed this originally in 1981. We all thought this was gonna be on her first album. I was disappointed that it wasn't. Till 1982 when she announced her 2nd studio album Like A Teenage Dream and it was on the track list. I remember listening to this track over and over again when it was released in 1983. I still have the Album to this day.

That cover art with the harsh purple contour is EVERYTHING

Remember when she performed in Live Aid back in 1985 with Snoop Dogg? I was there in Wembley Stadium with my wife and they put on quite the show! Unfortunately their performance was overshadowed by the other artists and any recordings of it were lost to history but in my opinion they were the best! I've always wondered what happened to Katy Perry since then. She seems to have completely vanished from the music scene after that event. Some say she staged her disappearance to live a quiet life in another country, others said she actually died from a drug overdose with her funeral being top secret. Only Katy herself knows the answer.

Please dont ever stop making remixes!

Katy was so ahead of her time, his daughter is making a great job to keep Katy work immortalized

I remember reading in Rolling Stone that this was actually a Stevie Nicks demo she turned down for her "Wild Heart" album, but she unwisely chose to leave it off the album, allowing Katy to pick up the win. Regardless, both versions are great, but I have more memories of Springs & Summers attached to this version.

There are certain ‘80s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

Ahhh i remember like it was yesterday. Katy used to be huge in the 80s. 7 years old me and my friends were dancing to this song. Now we're 46 and remember this like it was yesterday. I would do anything to go back, just for a day

This was a hit back in 1983! The 80s will always be the best! 💃🏽🕺🏻😎☺️

This makes me want to play GTA Vice City

i was thinking of a witty comment saying how this is an actual 80s song... but man! this is so great i got speechless. your work is awesome. just keep going.

I'm falling in love with these 80s remixes 😁❤

Why isn’t this on Spotify? I LOVE IT! Keep up the good work!

47 years ago imagine music is so different

I'm honestly really surprised that you only have 3k subscribers since you do such a incredible job at making these 👌

RU-vid recently introduced me to the 80s remixes culture and I'm loving it

I'll never forget that bar fight between Bonnie Tyler and Katy. Rumor has it, that 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' described their secret relationship, and was the legit inspiration behind the melody.

I love the ones where it has an echo effect...like an empty mall...love it lol

Fucking hell.. the 80's sound makes EVERYTHING sound instantly better.

I love how they made Snoop sound like that typical fast rapping techno 90's guy! Win!

I wish they sold this Katy Perry 80's CD (or LP) at Walmart :)

Another classic

i love all of these remixes!!! making my day, while Im social distancing...thank you!!

the 80s was the time to live... so glad I got to live through this. I play my kids these songs as much as I can, so sad that they will never experience this.

I`m from the 90s but I`m absolutely in love with 80s style synthwave. Your doing a great job! Excellent Music

I recall when mom bought this compilation LP & this track was featured in it. She'd play it full blast on our Technics - Gosh, those were the days!!

it sounds real 80's !!!!

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED! I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING MORE 80s! D: Very well done! This sounds more original than the original is... XD

THANK GOD I FOUND THIS SONG! I was getting crazy because I always had the tune in my head and I couldn't find this anywhere and it popped o my RU-vid like that! I used to heard this as a kid on the basement with my sister while playing with my barbies. This cassette got lost or maybe my parent threw it away 💔 but thanks to RU-vid we can get our childhood memories back 😊

I remember when she went on tour in 1984 and performed this song. That was a wild concert indeed, met the love of my life there. 36 years later we have 3 handsome boys and 2 beautiful girls.

I'm so glad they finally put the original on youtube! I can listen to this at least... I cannot find the original vinyl at any of my local record stores anywhere!!! Its so rare, and so good!

I've heard the original, and don't remember that well. But then I hear this... and it's UNFORGETTABLE! :D

They just don’t make music like this anymore sadly I’m glad to say I lived during this era!

YES!!!! I remember hearing this on the radio in California back in the ‘80s. 😎

Oh my God!!! This is brilliant!!! You really should continue creating more 80s remixes of modern songs!! You actually make them sound better than the originals!! Please keep doing what you do because you got that magic touch!

This album cover is going to haunt my dreams.

The original song's from 2010. That was ten years ago...I feel so old. Kudos for making it even more nostalgic. This song was already a guilty pleasure of mine, long before I discovered synthwave, now you combined two things I love. My hat's off to you.

I remember going to the skating rink and this song playing in the 1980s. I miss it!!!!

I could have sworn that her name was Kathy Beth Terry back in the day ...

80s music rocks! And it's a life changing year for all of us musically speaking.

Love the vibe you give to those tracks.

I remember listening to this in 1986, skipping school, driving with my friend Cameron and my girlfriend Sloane into downtown Chicago in Cameron's dad's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder.

This song was a hit in 1983. I remember listening to it in my delorean

I still remember how it beat the funky town. Its feels like yesterday. This song was so good way back then. Good ol times.

This is freaking FANTASTIC 😍😍😍 Dude, you are really good at this. Congrats to all the hard work you've put in!

FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! !

I've never really loved this song but i enjoy this remix alot

Remixes always cheer me up.

What would take this remix to the next level would be replacing snoop dog's rap with a sax solo

I think I actually like this better than the original :-)

Bouncing to this song with my mates back in '85. I was really sad to hear about her death in 2004. She had a stroke. RIP Katy Perry :(

Yeah truly good work Exile. I wish you greater success

Daeeeemn you must upload every 80 Remix song on Spotify!!!!!!!!
