She may have finished in second in the race for the “Most Purchased Song on iTunes” to Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister,” but Katy Perry can claim the title for the most parodied song of 2010. Some versions of “California Gurls” are good, some are bad, but all are unforgettable.

Also, are “California Gurls” and “Tik Tok” the same song? The evidence is pretty damning:
