Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" was a big hit on Israeli radio in 2008.
Galgalatz, Israel's leading radio station, asked Ivri to cover the song for the annual 2008 chart toppers show.
His version became a hit among fans and on the radio. This encouraged Ivri to shoot his own video for the song (Directed by Elad Zakai), especially for fans on the web.
