I'm surprised Max hasn't played that sax solo, as well as him and Dr. Luke haven't played guitar this time, but drums!

I'm surprised they haven't played guitar too

I see that Max and Luke are Executive Producers which is great

        Ah, great -- I really wanted to read those!!   And I'm glad I was right to think that the sax solo on "Last Friday Night' was by Lenny Pickett, bandleader on "Saturday Night Live"  (Luke's old band).    That guy is FANTASTIC!!!  He is featured at the end of every show over the closing credits, and he gives me CHILLS with those high notes he plays!

         Hey!  Check out Dr. Luke's  good news on my fave song :-)      http://twitter.com/THEDOCTORLUKE           It made me happy, as it's the ONLY song I actually bought from the album

             Demos of  ''Teenage Dream" and 'hot n'Cold"  on this site         http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoTGgj1YsuU
     The "Teenage Dream' one is interesting --you'll hear they had a much heavier beat in chorus!  kinda cool  ;-)

[Izalightblue]

Oh! The beat for TD chorus was so heavy! It was overloading it! So good they made it softer.

[JackSnr]

err, not sure about the Hot N' Cold demo but the teenage dream one is definitely the real song but pitched down (its easy to do this to avoid the song being removed by youtube coz technically its not the original chorus) and the chorus beat seems really heavy coz its been pitched down.
Yeah, its a pitched down version of an early leak of Teenage Dream. Only difference was the beat kinda messed up in the second verse and there wasn't the "YOU MAKE ME" After the bridge before the last chorus.

Heres the full song of of Katy Perry's In between that we saw a clip of leak a while ago

            Ah, thanks for putting up that "In Between" -- I had loved the verses to that in the leak, but now I'm thinking/wondering if this is a different production team on this one?  The first verse sound like earlier M/L to me, but not the chorus........   I had also noticed people pitching YOUtUBE videos up, and figured that's maybe why they did it, but that "Teenage Dream" fooled me -- it sounded real to me ;-)
