What's Up by The Four Blondes isn't that bad a song at all. I can see why the lead singer's voice is annoying. I don't mind the song, though and the hate for it is an example of something people don't know why they hate; they're just supposed to hate it (same as Comic Sans).

You're right, that version is better than the original.

Linda Perry sounds weirdly like Bruce Dickinson at some points in that song to me.

I never hated it either, although I could easily see it being irritating as hell if you didn’t like it.

I didn't mind the song but Linda Perry looks like she's making fun of herself when she sings Like she contorts her face in a jim carrey kind of way and it looks like she's doing an impression of an over-emotional singer

The worst song ever created is Mr. Brightside by The Killers because it played at least twice an hour over the grocery store intercom when I worked in a pharmacy for a few years during college.

Timely PHUO: King cake sucks It's a bready, dry cinnamon roll topped with straight up granulated sugar and it has a choking hazard inside It's around the quality of pastry appropriate for a continental breakfast at a budget hotel chain

I've never heard of a king cake or galette des rois before but we have a similar lent tradition in Newfoundland where we dump all sorts of choking hazards into pancake batter. Nails, buttons, string, that sort of thing. I think it started as a sort of fortune telling game where what item you found was related to your future somehow but when I was a kid it was mostly (boiled and sterilized) coins and coin decoys. Such fond memories fighting with my siblings over five bucks worth of weird smelling change.

King cake was the sacrificial lamb that made all other New Orleans foods delicious. Kinda like Jesus, but for Creole food.

You can get a decent one, rarely. But mostly there's no effort put into it. Not sure if Unpopular but that reminds me of an Opinion: It's funny that the stereotype of french food is the prissy haute-cuisine chef. In me experience, the real difference between France and the US is the cheapo low-effort food is much better. You can get a decent gas station sandwich. If you're dropping 300 bucks on dinner NYC or even New Orleans blows Paris out of the water. New Orleans is the best city in the US for that though, so much good cheap food. Ngl glad to have my shoes here.

If it has sausage in it, do you say "banger my spag bol!"? Or is it just "bang me spag bol"? It certainly sounds like an opening scene of porn: "Banger me spag bol and spot me dick, mum!". (It's clear all I know came from movies.)
