call me maybe

The U.S. Army Infantry soldiers in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, aren't above having a little fun while stuck overseas, and their "Call Me Maybe" cover is among the best we've seen --  it showcases their day-to-day life for those of us who have no clue.

A sweet note accompanies the video: "See you in just a few more months, and thanks for all your support!"

People who aren't aware of Canadian pop music or the listening habits of Selena Gomez might not know the original version, but I think everyone can agree that this cowbell remix succeeds in perfecting the unperfectable.

With infinite jukebox, the song never ends! Check it out!

Sesame Street joins the CRJ bandwagon, insidiously subverting the naive and superficial love-at-first-sight values contained in the original version by advocating an equal distribution of baked goods among consumers of unequal income. For the children.

From now on, both these songs will be tainted for you. You won't be able to listen to one without thinking of the other. You're welcome.

Look, we're sorry. You've probably seen at least three "Call Me Maybe" video parodies already, not to mention dozens of jokes and memes, and we're partially responsible for that. But fret not! When supercuts of parodies are made, it's usually a sign that the craze is winding down. So for now it's best to sit back and ride the pop mayhem out.

The folks at Key of Awesome have added another video to the towering mountain of "Call Me Maybe" parodies, this time with the spin of a bad one-nighter.

Expert music dubber Andy Rehfeldt released a death metal dub of Carly Rae Jepsen, giving her a br00tal growl that turns the line "So call me maybe" from a request into a threat.

Warning: strong language and explicit sexual content make this mashup oh so wrong, but also OH SO RIGHT.

Will Ferrell signed the wall with this plea earlier today at CBS This Morning. Between this and the "Some Song That I Used to Love" Gotye parody, I think it's safe to say that two of the biggest songs of this summer have officially worn out their welcome.

The Big 10 college mascots put aside their rivalry (Ha! Just kidding. They were obviously nowhere near each other during shooting) to make a college-themed version of that song we're totally not sick of yet. Is a stadium routine coming next?

Can this song get any more overexposed? Even its memes have memes!
