" Katy Perry has revealed that she is a fan of parodies of her own songs.  In an interview with YouTube, the popstar admitted that she tries to watch fan-made versions of her hits and has been overwhelmed by the response to her last single &amp;#039;California Gurls&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;I actually welcome [parodies]. I do kind of take myself seriously when it&amp;#039;s appropriate to, with different songs... but I know that &amp;#039;California Gurls&amp;#039; is just a fun song, and I think that if people are making parodies of your song, you&amp;#039;ve made it,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;And I think we&amp;#039;re only a couple of states away from having all 50 states in the US to be parodied... People have &amp;#039;Missouri Girls&amp;#039;, and &amp;#039;Texas Girls&amp;#039;. I love that stuff. I welcome it. I actually want to see more of it. I&amp;#039;m a jokester prankster, so if the joke&amp;#039;s on me, I&amp;#039;ll play along.&amp;quot;  Perry recently described her new single &amp;#039;Teenage Dream&amp;#039; as &amp;quot;euphoric&amp;quot;.
