Call Me Maybe?

Back from a couple weeks of school, and work, and a long and relaxing, yet stressful spring break, here I am with a short music post about something that has been on my mind...or iPod.

Ever sit in your car wondering what song would be the perfect song to roll down the windows to and just belt out at the top of your lungs?

Lucky for you, I think I have helped to solve this plaguing question.

Carly Rae Jepsen has just recently a new single called, "Call Me Maybe," and it is quite possibly the most addictive song out right now.

Never heard of Carly Rae Jepsen? Well, neither had I before this song. But so you are all caught up, here is a little background on the Canadian songstress. She came in third place on the reality television show, Canadian Idol. She released her first album, "Tug of War", in 2008. Her second album, "Curiosity," was released in February of this year. She recently came to the U.S. and signed with Interscope and Schoolboy Records. Something tells me, this won't be the last we hear of this girl.

I admit, when this song first graced my ears, I was quite skeptical about the overtly pop tune. The lyrics were a little ridiculous and frankly, it gave me a solid case of the giggles. However, the tune was infectious and soon I found myself tapping my toes to the beat and fist pumping like the best of them.

The song soon disappeared from my mind, until one day, a video showed up in my subscriptions on YouTube. Ever heard of Carlos Pena from Big Time Rush? No? Well, how about Justin Bieber? Now I got your attention, huh?

The two pop stars are good friends and they made a music video to the upbeat song. The video features the adorable boy-bander, the teen sensation, and a few other celebs, like Selena Gomez, Samantha Droke and Ashley Tisdale, to name a few. The video is one of those adorable, I-was-bored-one-day-and-decided-to-sing-into-my-Macbook-type, of music videos. Check it out here:

Now, my two best friends seriously are obsessed with this little video and the song in correlation. And I will admit to you, that it started to get to me, too. And finally, the other day...I caved. I purchased the song off of iTunes, which was in the Top 10 songs!! From then on, well, it was all downhill.

With the lyrics, "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe?," this song quickly became one of those anthems you just can't shake. Not only is the melody of this song very upbeat, but with this smooth chorus; everything about it makes you want to scream out your windows and try to pick up strapping young men you just met and get them to call you maybe!

Personally, I think you should check it out. If you're like me, at first you will literally scratch your head in wonder; but after a few more forced listens by your best friends, and a few of your own Photo-booth music videos, you too will be playing this song all night long!

And look, I know this is fast, but I think I can say this to you...

...here's my number, so call me maybe? (new pickup line? I think yes!)
