Top 5 'Call Me Maybe' Videos

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe (Official)

Summer has been a really fun season this year! As it comes to a close, we look at one of the highlights that has revolutionized this year's Summer - Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae JepsenNot only has this song broke records in the music industry, it possessed a great sense of recall for its listeners. Now just in case you haven't seen this video ever, be sure to watch this above, and check out my top 5 most effective remakes of this music video.

5. Barack Obama - Amidst all the hustle and bustle for elections, President Obama still manages to join the bandwagon for Call me Maybe. To see one of the most powerful men in the United States sing this piece just takes the cake. I've never heard him sing the simplest standard songs on youtube (like Happy Birthday or Star Spangled Banner), but here's proof of him singing a #1 song in the US Call Me Maybe (maybe he's just choosy with his covers). Props to the editor for a job well done!

4. Abercrombie - Readers would kill me if this doesn't go on the list, but nonetheless, the attention grabbing and overexposure of alpha male skin made this video go viral in a matter of hours. It deserves to be in the Top 5 of the most interesting Call Me Maybe videos just because. Is this what you call voyeurism? I wonder if this was an advertising strategy and whether or not it was effective. Watch this and tell me what you think.

3. Sesame Street - Who does not love Sesame Street? Growing up with this show made me realize how important each episode and its characters were, in molding me into becoming the person I am today, as well as how it has strived to remain relevant with the latest trend. This Call Me Maybe version is but a testament to that, and oh did I mention that Cookie Monster was just awesomesauce? Anyway, here's how you get to Sesame Street, Call Me Maybe style. 


2. Chatroulette - The first time I encountered Chatroulette was when my college friends and I just wanted to fool around after an org meeting. Thus we decided to mess around with Chatroulette. Anyway, this version of Call Me Maybe just amazed me. I could imagine how difficult it must have been for the cross dressing gentleman to put the pieces together. In fact the 22 million viewership can speak for how viral this version has become.

1. Star Wars - Just to be clear, I am not really an avid Star Wars fan, but this one is just epic. Watch this video of Call Me Maybe and find out why Chubaka was my personal favorite (hands down) in this version. He definitely played an important role in spicing up this clip with sheer wit! May the force be with you. 


How about you? What is your favorite "Call Me Maybe" video?
