Call Me Maybe

'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen

We're not quite sure how this happens. This opening pitch thrown by 'Call Me Maybe' singer Carly Rae Jepsen at the Tampa Rays game on Sunday is a colossal failure.

We don't know how this makes us feel. Basically, we're just glad we're not angry. This lucky genius has taken a part of our childhood and, rather than ruining it, changed it in a way that doesn't fill us with boiling rage, which is usually what happens when we hear anything 'Call Me Maybe' related these days.

That's right -- we're still posting 'Call Me Maybe' videos. Deal with it! This one's got soldiers serving in Afghanistan, so it's sort of our civic responsibility to share it with the world.

Carly Rae Jepsen got the party started at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards, performing the most infectious song of the year, 'Call Me Maybe.'

It's a sad fact of the pop culture landscape that where huge hits go, lawsuits tend to follow -- and now Carly Rae Jepsen is facing one over her summer-defining smash 'Call Me Maybe.'

It had been quite a run for the Carly Rae Jepsen hit 'Call Me Maybe.' But the hold the song of the summer once had on shower-singers and lip-synchers everywhere has faded as the weather has turned cold. However, the Canadian singer's earworm got a bit of a reprise last night at the recording of  Comedy Central's 'Night of Too Many Stars.'

We realize it's a little bit late in the game to be putting out 'Call Me Maybe' covers, but we can make an exception out of usefulness. This video might come in handy if you are brand new to the internet and want a crash course in YouTube successes...

Some evil minded person with nothing better to do decided to mash Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe,' the biggest song of the summer, with Psy's viral hit 'Gangnam Style.' The result is a song that will blow your Top 40-lovin' mind.

No one asked for it, but there's a new version of "Call Me Maybe" on YouTube as performed by a full choir and orchestra.
