Katy Perry Surprises Sims Fans with Live Performance in Simlish

Katy Perry delighted both her music followers and enthusiasts of “The Sims” last Friday, as she sang “Last Friday Night” in a live concert using the game’s unique language. Fans who have been with the series for some time will recall that Katy Perry’s tunes were featured in both “The Sims 2” and “The Sims 3”.

Enthusiasts of the video game series, The Sims, are quite familiar with Simlish, the language spoken by the characters within the game world. Not only do in-game characters converse in it, but the franchise has also released numerous songs over time, re-recorded by their respective artists, with the lyrics translated into Simlish. Artists like Katy Perry, My Chemical Romance, Depeche Mode, The Flaming Lips, and Yoasobi are some of the many musicians who have contributed to this unique musical endeavor.

Katy Perry Sings Last Friday Night Live… In Simlish

At one of Katy Perry’s concert stops, a request came for her to sing the Simlish version of her song “Last Friday Night”. The lyrics were written out on a piece of paper. At first, Perry seemed uncertain, saying “I really shouldn’t do this”, but she eventually agreed to perform the chorus. With some initial worries about reading the text, she managed well and the crowd encouraged her as she sang. After finishing, she playfully apologized to the audience, saying “you had to be there.

It’s quite possible that some people in the crowd were baffled by the performance, not understanding why Katy Perry was suddenly crooning nonsensical words to the melody of one of her hit songs. This unusual rendition was actually a song from the game expansion pack called “The Sims 3: Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats,” which was the sixth Stuff Pack for the game and debuted in January 2012. To promote this Stuff Pack, Electronic Arts (EA) released a video of Katy Perry recording the song in Simlish, a fictional language used in The Sims games. This video became quite popular online, eventually racking up over 3 million views on YouTube.

13 years have passed since Katy Perry first recorded the song, so it’s quite remarkable that she managed to perform it as she did back then. Fans probably don’t expect her to reappear or perform in Simlish for another Sims game, but given how viral this performance has become, there’s a chance that it could catch the eye of EA and Maxis, potentially leading to Perry being involved again.
