Jessie Murph's 1965 Song Backlash — Internet Reactions
The 20-year-old "Wild Ones" singer's performance made its way onto Twitter (or X), and I think it's safe to say it's certainly left its mark on people. The snippet, originally posted by Pop Crave, has over 23 million views and has sparked several viral tweets in conversation about it.
More specifically, people can't stop talking about the song's lyrics. In the Tonight Show clip, Murph sings, "I think I'd give up a few rights, if you would just love me like it's 1965."
This, understandably, caused some uproar.
This user, citing others arguing that the song is satire, called the lyrics "frankly abhorrent".
"and yet sabrina carpenter is the one allegedly setting feminism back," this user said, referencing the recent backlash the :Espresso" singer faced for the cover of her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, which depicted Carpenter on her knees with an out-of-frame man pulling her hair. The album cover has since been removed from the singer's Instagram page.
Another user highlighted lyrics from the song that weren't in the 30-second snippet shared to social media, such as "I might get a little slap-slap, but you won't hit me up on Snapchat," comparing 1960s relationships to those of today.
For reference, here are the lyrics to the other verses in the song, with notable lyrics like, "I would be twenty, and it'd be acceptable for you to be forty, and that is fucked up, I know. But at least you wouldn't drive off before I get in the fuckin' door."
And, finally, the performance essentially started to become a meme of its own:
So, what do you think? Does it totally cross the line in the midst of an administration actively dismantling women's rights, or do you think this whole thing is a case of misunderstood satire and it's a commentary in and of itself?

Fox News' host Greg Gutfeld to appear on Jimmy Fallon
Fox News late night host Greg Gutfeld will be a guest on Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show," marking the libertarian-leaning on-air persona's first appearance on a traditional network late-night talk show. His debut guest appearance is scheduled for the Thursday, August 7 episode, NBC spokesperson Eve Kenny confirmed. Gutfeld is the host of Fox News' late-night "Gutfeld!" which debuted in April 2021 and has found success, averaging 3.29 million viewers, according to Late Nighter. The comedian and political commentator has long criticized late-night hosts like Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel. But he expressed a soft spot for Fallon during a Thursday, July 31 episode of the Fox News conservative cable hit "The Five." "I'm psyched about it because Fallon comes across as a great guy, nice guy," Gutfeld told his co-hosts. "Also me going on his show shows him that he's not worried about upsetting his peers." He then recalled President Donald Trump's guest appearance on the "Tonight Show" ahead of the 2016 election, in which Fallon was scrutinized for "humanizing Trump" after tousling his hair for a comedic bit. "But it didn't come from anybody but the people on the left who wanted to teach all entertainers a lesson that if you dare show that Trump is a human, then you're toast," he added. "And so it's kind of nice that he's taken this risk." Fallon is among Trump's late-night foes Though its unclear what Fallon and Gutfeld will discuss during the episode, the talk show crossover comes after Trump's public squabble with several late night hosts following CBS' cancellation of the "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Trump celebrated the cancelation on Truth Social July 18 writing "I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings." Colbert addressed the post in his July 21 episode monologue saying: "How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go (expletive) yourself." The president later made a jab at Kimmel, insinuating that his show would be the next to end before taking aim at Fallon. "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, (Jimmy) Fallon will be gone," Trump wrote on a July 22 Truth Social post. Fallon participated in the beef by zeroing in on Trump's former relationship with deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi had reportedly told the president that he was named multiple times in the government's files. "Well, guys, the big story continues to be President Trump's handling of the Epstein files, and now newly uncovered footage shows that Jeffrey Epstein attended Trump's second wedding in 1993," Fallon said. "You had the bride, the groom, the groomer." Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY

Orange Door Releases Mid-Year Playback Report: Most Played Music Videos and In-Venue Trends for 2025 Revealed
RIVERSIDE, Calif., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — What do a lo-fi beat at noon and a Sabrina Carpenter hit at 9PM have in common? According to Orange Door's latest report, they are not just popular tracks. They are high-performing tools that influence customer behavior, increase dwell time, and drive promotional success inside bars and restaurants. Orange Door, a hospitality-focused music video and digital signage platform used in venues worldwide, has released its 2025 Mid-Year Playback Report. Drawing on more than 100,000 sessions from January to May, the report outlines how curated screen content is becoming a key business lever for forward-thinking venues. Many bar owners believe they know what kind of music their customers enjoy. But what actually performs across different times of day and types of venue often tells a different story. The data shows that venues using structured programming experienced up to 18% longer average dwell times than those running ad hoc playlists or standard television replays. Customers stayed longer, ordered more, and were more likely to notice and engage with on-screen promotions. In the United States, classic crowd-pleasers such as Livin' on a Prayer , Mr. Brightside , and Espresso led the charts. But across all markets, it was not just about which songs were played. It was when and how they were delivered that made the biggest difference. From mid-morning through early afternoon, venues that used mellow acoustic tracks and ambient video loops saw stronger daytime performance and longer table times. By evening, high-energy dance-pop, hip hop, and country dominated. These shifts in screen content coincided with increased drink orders, food sales, and customer engagement. Orange Door reports that over 82% of active venues now use dayparted playlists that align music and visuals with key customer flow times. That figure is up from just 61% two years ago. Advertising content also benefited from better planning. Ads placed directly after upbeat pop or R&B tracks had 26% higher recall than those shown at random intervals. Promo content spaced every four to five minutes consistently outperformed more frequent or irregular placements, particularly in busy city venues. Internal analysis showed that in-venue promotions delivered through screens performed 38% better than static signage or wall posters. And in a recent survey of 800 U.S. bar patrons, 45% said the on-screen content influenced whether they would stay for another drink. 'We've seen that with just a few smart changes, venues can get real business outcomes from content they are already running,' said Ross Vickers, President of Orange Door. 'Screens are no longer just wallpaper. When managed properly, they become part of the revenue engine.' The key takeaway is that screens can no longer be treated as passive or decorative. With tighter margins and growing competition for attention, bars, restaurants, and clubs need every part of the venue to be working. Screen content, when properly managed, becomes a powerful extension of the floor plan. It creates energy, reinforces brand identity, and unlocks incremental revenue. Key findings from the 2025 Mid-Year Playback Report: Bars with structured, dayparted content had up to 18% longer customer dwell time Ads shown after upbeat songs had 26% higher recall rates 82% of active venues now use time-of-day aligned playlists, up from 61% in 2023 Screen-based promotions outperformed static signage by 38% in driving customer actions With fully licensed music videos and purpose-built tools for playlists and promotions, Orange Door is helping venues around the world shift their screen strategies from background content to business driver. From casino lounges in Las Vegas to high-volume sports bars in Texas, the impact is already measurable. To support this shift, Orange Door is offering a free content audit and a customized advertising pack to help venues optimize their screen setup. With just a few simple adjustments, most venues can unlock more value from the screens they already have in place. Media Contact:Andrew Vickers mailto:[email protected] +1 888-679-7422 (USA)
