"A Truly Vile Song": 11 Songs People Think Are "The Worst Of All Time," And One That Caused A Debate For Being Included
Twitter: @RACH4_theSTARZ
It's not an exaggeration to say that Twitter (now X) is a bit of a flaming dumpster fire sometimes, so I've taken it upon myself to bring you the Discourse of The Week™️ myself. This time, everyone is fighting over which song(s) are "the worst of all time."
Here are 11 of the most popularly-hated songs (and one absolutely beloved song). I'm genuinely curious if you agree.
1.First up, the clip that started it all — "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
Here are some of its lyrics:

'Talking' Siamese Cat With ‘Off-the-Charts Mimicry' Hilariously Repeats Bath Instructions
'Talking' Siamese Cat With 'Off-the-Charts Mimicry' Hilariously Repeats Bath Instructions originally appeared on Parade Pets. In the oversaturated world of social media pet stars, few have what it takes to leave me cry-laughing, waking in the night to scan for new posts, and becoming my main topic of discussion with everyone I meet. As a sad Goth girl with an emo heart and the humor of a teen boy, my standards for what's funny or interesting are impossibly high. One cat (and one cat only) has passed all my extensive tests: Merv, a sassy Siamese gal who doesn't just vocalize the way other felines do—that's too basic. The only way to explain this kitty's unique and kind of terrifying talent is to watch as Dad teaches Merv "how to wash her buns..." Merv, my little demon angel, is quite literally (but not really) a human (or alien?) trapped in a Siamese cat body, and she's quite capable of speaking actual words you can understand. I have no other words that can possibly explain why or how Merv is the way she is, but I'm completely obsessed (my husband is worried about me)! She's not a one-trick pony, either. With more than 86 million likes on TikTok and 2.5 million followers who are all Merv stans like me, her talking abilities aren't only clear, but proven time and time (and time) you think I'm going to leave you with only one Merv clip, think again. I bless thee with the love of Merv's life, the shirtless gardener, Charles. And yes, she knows his name and any reference to her human soul mate! If you're not obsessed with this funny cat yet, it's time to rethink your life choices. About Merv's Mysterious Mimicry A lot of Siamese cats are big "talkers," and some felines seemingly meow with an accent, but do you see the difference with Merv? Her mimicry is off the charts, spot-on in a way that makes you wonder how it's possible. Research suggests cats learn to communicate by observing us. They pick up behavioral mimicry, such as routines and habits, emotional resonance like offering comfort or responding to our moods, and adaptive learning by copying something we do, like opening or closing a door. None of that explains Merv's ability to speak and understand the English language, but I don't care! When my sad Goth girl comes out full-send, she's a healer. Whether she's lusting over Charles or learning how to wash her buns, I'm here for all of it. So @mervthecat—please post more for those of us who cannot survive a day without her unhinged conversations! 🐶🐾🐾 'Talking' Siamese Cat With 'Off-the-Charts Mimicry' Hilariously Repeats Bath Instructions first appeared on Parade Pets on Aug 9, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Aug 9, 2025, where it first appeared.

At TD Garden, Katy Perry floats like a butterfly, stings like a B-lister
The days of unwavering support for Perry have dissolved like the cotton candy she once wrapped herself in during her seismic 'Teenage Dream' era — the sweet spot around 2010 that transformed her from a fresh face into an artist who could tie Michael Jackson for the most chart-topping songs from a single album. (Yes, by that metric, 'Teenage Dream' rivals 'Bad'). Carrying the combined weight of her diamond singles and myriad public criticisms at TD Garden Friday night, Perry insulated herself from the vitriol of the Internet, and performed her first show in Boston Advertisement The children and teens who attended Friday's show in droves felt like the target audience for Perry's current 'Lifetimes' tour. The kid-free adult fans? Not so much. Katy Perry performed in Boston for the first time in eight years on Friday. Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff Children do not know the difference between a campy performance and an outright cheap one. They do not view an artist being strapped into a harness for multiple in-air tricks as someone falling back on distracting, often underwhelming gimmicks. They do not notice lackluster choreography or if an artist seems a little too reliant on her backing track. Advertisement And they do not question if a set is bloated with material from a poorly-received album — in Perry's case, last year's effort, '143' — while fan favorites like 'California Gurls' and 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' get clipped short. They do lend their high-pitched voices to thunderous singalongs, which often threatened to overpower Perry's pipes when she performed her biggest smashes, 'Dark Horse' and 'Firework.' To be clear, Perry's hearty soprano still slices through her hits with incredible clarity, and certain moments from Friday's show felt ripe with bravado and vulnerability — a winning formula for staying power. When singing her breakthrough hit, 'I Kissed A Girl,' Perry put on an impressive Cirque du Soleil-esque display that involved spinning upside-down while suspended from the ceiling in a cage (quite the contrast to riding a giant, gaudy butterfly around the arena for 'Roar'). Her stripped-down rendition of 'Not Like The Movies' recreated a bittersweet unraveling that felt as fresh as it did in 2010, mid-split from first husband Russell Brand. But it's hard to imagine anyone who came of age during Perry's rise to fame (reader, that's me) could be satiated by Friday night's performance, where baffling creative choices often dimmed the brilliance of Perry's peak years. This is an artist who once cooked up confectionary hits by the batch; a woman who was the winking face of pop for an entire decade. Advertisement Perry's legacy deserves to be upheld with concerts that cement, not chip away at, her place in pop history. Until the legacy feels better preserved, Perry's career will continue to look like it's already jumped the (left) shark. KATY PERRY With Rebecca Black.

Exclusive: Jason Momoa Shares His Favorite Beach in the World—and What He Wishes More Visitors Knew About Hawaii
While he loves living 'all around the world,' there's no place like Hawaii for Jason Momoa. 'I love other places, and I would probably live in other places more, but this just feels like home,' he said. 'There's certain foods, there's the way the water feels for me, the way that the sand feels for me, the way the air smells, how my skin feels here—it's just a deep connection,' Momoa told Travel + Leisure in an exclusive interview from Hawai'i. 'It's where I'm from. It's where I was born. It's my culture. It's a wonderful thing to come home. This is where I'm rooted.' When he's back on the islands, Momoa heads for family-loved spots like his favorite beach, Makaha on the west side of Oʻahu. 'My family beach is Makaha. I love Waimea just because it's like being a kid,' the actor said, noting how he would rock climb there and play on the shorebreak. Momoa said he also has 'good memories' of being down at the beaches at Mokule'ia. 'Pretty much everything on the west side is home, but Makaha is probably my favorite beach in the world,' he revealed. Despite his love for this O'ahu beach, the island of Kauai is admittedly where Momoa spends most of his time. 'I love it there,' the Aquaman star shared. 'The Garden Isle'—which Momoa described as 'a great romantic place'—is also one of the actor's recommendations for travelers new to Hawai'i. Another must for first-time visitors? Eating traditional dishes like lau lau, kalua pig, and poi. Window or aisle seat? Aisle. Checked bag or carry-on only? Checked. One thing you can't travel without? Camera. Favorite Hawaiian dish? Poi. Favorite place to watch the sunset in Hawaii and your dream trip destination? Either with my children or in my woman's arms. It doesn't matter where. Picking an island base for a trip to Hawaii can be tricky with so many beautiful destinations in the state. For those who want to have fun and go into town, Momoa noted that Oʻahu 'serves a lot of different purposes,' and he said, 'I think Maui is a big favorite that people go to.' If you've already seen those islands, Momoa suggested checking out Lānaʻi and Molokaʻi. He pointed out that every island has 'its own spectacular style,' and if you go to one with an active volcano, that's even more special, as it has 'that umbilical cord' to the Earth. 'I just feel like any place that's connected to the Earth and that's constantly changing, it has a different feeling there,' he said. 'The first time I stepped foot on Big Island, I was like, 'Oh, there is a whole other energy going on here.' It's our youngest island, so I just feel like there's a lot of mana (spiritual or supernatural power) there.' The actor's passion project, Chief of War , is set in Hawai'i. The nine-episode historical series, shot on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, plus Aotearoa (the Māori name for New Zealand), stars Momoa as the Hawaiian warrior Ka'iana. The epic drama tells the story of the unification and colonization of the islands from an Indigenous perspective. A still of Jason Momoa in Apple TV+ Chief of War. Chief of War , which debuted on Aug. 1, is meant to get people to 'start to see Hawai'i in a different light,' co-creator Thomas Pa'a Sibbett told T+L. Sibbett admitted that they're hoping 'there's an evolution in how tourism presents itself in the islands because there's been a traditional way—and it was always set up this way—where Hawaiians are the host.' 'There's a host culture where people come in and they're catered to and taken care of, where really the evolution here can be more how do tourists come and be involved in what it is that we're doing? How can they come and be active participants in the growth, whether it's agriculturally based or culturally based?' Sibbett continued, 'That's really where the evolution of our conversations are going, and really what Hawaiians are wanting to be a part of. We want to make sure that the tourism industry can continue, but that it becomes a more collaborative process.' In that vein, there are things Momoa wishes more people understood about Hawai'i. He explained, 'We are America, and there's a lot of things that have happened to our culture. I think from an Indigenous point of view, a lot of things have happened, and we're really trying to have that identity, bring back a lot of our arts and our culture.' 'I don't think a lot of people know that we were a kingdom and that we were royalty and that we had electricity in our palace before the White House did, that we had our own currency,' the Mananalu founder added. 'This is American history, and I think a lot of people don't know that.' A behind the scene shot of Jason filming Chief of War. Momoa, who co-created the Apple TV+ series and also served as an executive producer, remarked that all visitors to Hawai'i 'may not have a sense of what we are, what we came from,' but Chief of War is 'going to show them what our culture is.' 'It's an exciting time, and I think it's just going to bring more love and more aloha back here, and we're going to get even greater stories,' Momoa said. 'I think there'll be a flood of Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) stories coming.'
