'Call Me Maybe' Hits No. 1: Do You Like the Song?

After spending nine weeks at the top of the charts, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" has finally been knocked down a notch... by Justin Bieber's pride and joy, Carly Rae Jepsen. Her hit song "Call Me Maybe" has managed to lodge itself into enough brains to launch it to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 with 3.3 digital downloads and 108 million YouTube views.

Jepsen isn't new to the music industry, but she's certainly new to fame. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter got her start in 2007 when she got third place on "Canadian Idol," and released her debut album, "Tug of War," in 2008. But she didn't get much air time until fellow Canadian Justin Bieber started tweeting about her latest single, "Call Me Maybe," off her 2012 "Curiosity" EP. The song's catchy hook practically made her career over night. Do you dig the song? (Listen at your own risk: This jam will be in your head all day long.)

    Sorry but EFF this song and EFF it all the way to the fiery brimstone pits beneath the earth of which it came. Along with "Boyfriend" by Justina Beaver.

    THESE songs I hear every damn day on the radio, polluting the sound waves with their noise. Luckily with THIS song it's easy to make up joke lyrics to laugh at it while enduring it!

    call me maybe joke

    HATE. THIS. SONG. It's repetitive and nonsensical with no meaning whatsoever. It's catchy, I'll give you that- but not even the good catchy that you want to jam out to but, the infectious, annoying catchy where you're like: "GET THIS OUT OF MY HEAD!"
    The only song I hate more is Selena Gomez's song "Love You Like a Lovesong". It just proves that if you're cute and can carry a tune then you can make it big in the music industry off of crap songs.

    At first, I despised it.

    And then it played over and over until I just had to sing along.

    Which is kind of the opposite of what most people say, but it's because I know the song is not good, but instead of crying when it comes on every five minutes, I just make the best of it. Call it a guilty pleasure if you must, but it only happened because I literally could not avoid it. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

    It's terrible. Rehash of other old, crappy pop songs. No me gusta. Try one of these instead. http://youtu.be/HlkpOdPxdqc http://youtu.be/iTI9aLc5wr4 http://youtu.be/pwPBxQm9s0Y

    BUT after hearing it x2492857 times and it having over 50,000 different remixes along with Afro Circus and Party Rock Anthem, I must say that it gets annoying. It's definitely overexposed and overplayed.

    I don't get it. I don't like the song nor did I like the prior number one song "Somebody That I Used To Know.". I get why SOME people may like them, but I'm surprised that there are enough people who like/listen/buy those songs more than any other for them to reach number one.

    sluts provide a needed service. They are saints as far as I'm concerned.
    I'd still say that even if i wasn't single. and hopefully i'd have a girlfriend mature enough to not take it the wrong way ;D

    This song sucks. Lyrics are horrible. Verses are boring! Chorus is so repetitive. C'mon! That's a "been there, done that" song. I'm sure she will be a one-hit wonder anyways.
