As a throng of US troops waited for Obama to take the stage in his unannounced visit to Bagram Air Base Friday, a band warmed up the crowd with Perry's breakthrough single.
"I kissed a girl and I liked it," goes the 2008 hit, "It felt so wrong, It felt so right."
Obama has called on Congress to repeal the current law, known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which obliges soldiers to hide their sexual orientation or else face expulsion from the military.
Another pop star, Lady Gaga, has already entered the political fray on the issue, attending rallies and issuing videos urging an end to the ban, saying it unfairly bars homosexuals from serving their country in uniform.
