Katy Perry is just as excited as the rest of us at the prospect of a collaboration with her BFF Rihanna -- so excited that she kind of stuck her foot in her mouth when talking about it, reports Pop Dust.

Perry weighed in on the forthcoming song (which if released in time will undoubtedly be the song we're blasting all summer long), and made a subtle dig at Beyonce:

"I want it to be like that Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin song "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves," not "Beautiful Liar." But I definitely want to do something that is so iconic."
