Just when you thought 'Call Me Maybe' was gone forever, it comes back again, like a terrible, terrible ex you hate, but you only live four blocks apart so what are you going to do? This time a group of guys from Denmark are playing it on bottles. Of course they are. It kind of reminds us of thos

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.

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.'

'Gangnam Style' Chatroulette Is the Weirdest Thing You'll See All Day

Emerald Catron — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 16:50:41 +0000

It happened to 'Call Me Maybe,' so it's no surprise that there is now a Chatroulette version of 'Gangnam Style' making waves on YouTube. Good news -- it's flashier, funnier and better-executed than the Carly Rae Jepsen knock-off. It's also more pleasing to listen to, but that may be a matter of personal opinion.

Emerald Catron — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 21:10:07 +0000

We genuinely thought there could be no more covers or tributes or parodies of 'Call Me Maybe.' One would think that once a song makes its way into a hobo camp, it's pretty much done. But this version has got something all the other ones don't -- a guy holding a machine gun and moonwalking.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 21:38:27 +0000

Oh my gosh, we get it, you guys -- it's super-easy to write a song to the melody of 'Call Me Maybe'. And everybody ever whose fingers have grazed an instrument knows how to play it. Seriously, we've noticed. Today two more versions of Carly Rae Jepsen's hit have risen to the surface, from pretty much opposite ends of the spectrum -- hobos and young Republicans. We can't decide which one is worse.
