Carly Rae Jepsen

I'm not surprised by any celeb nudie scandals anymore. At this point, who even cares? Aside from those who really want to bone celebrities, that is.

You'd be surprised how many of those there are...

I probably wouldn't be, in all honesty.

I'm a big fan of Todd's, but I still love this song and Good Times, the latter less so. I do have a tendency to gravitate towards mediocre pop songs, so that might explain that...

@Twentington (post 17): Whereas the then 18-19 year old Taylor Swift and "You Belong With Me" was perfectly acceptable?

I can't answer for Twentington, but fir me, that song is a whole 'nother rant entirely. Short version: I used to absolutely abhor that song, but now I feel it's So Bad, It's Good for its unintentional stalkerish overtones.

I've never been in a relationship, so I don't analyze songs about them very deeply.

" "Before you came into my life I missed you so bad"? How the hell can you miss someone before you even knew they existed—that makes absolutely no sense and whoever wrote the lyrics to this inane song should feel bad and repent greatly"

Actually it makes perfect sense. It is simply her admitting, fully, that she loves the idea of this guy, not the guy himself. ;)

Of interest: Insane Clown Posse watches the "Call Me Maybe" video!

Surprised you know who Insane Clown Posse are.

Yup, I'm not just a dinosaur geek.

Yeah but you only seemed to be into mainstream music so I'm a little surprised that you've heard about them.

Also of interest: the track list for Kiss is revealed! Looking at the titles alone, I'm guessing tracks 7, 8 and/or 14 are Intercourse with You.

I think "Rainbows" becoming a meme pretty much made it so everyone knows who ICP are. Personally they first came on to my radar in the late 90's, because a local rock station was actually playing a couple of their songs (believe it or not, one was a heavily bleeped out "Fuck The World"). They'd played Woodstock 99 and I guess therefor seemed poised to cross over to Nu Metal fans at the time.

As for the topic at hand, I only know "Call Me Maybe" itself. The phenomenon is kind of weird because you've got a 26 year old girl writing a song that seems like it's supposed to appeal to 13 year old girls, but it ends up being liked "ironically" by her own age group anyway. I frequent a karaoke night where that song made it onto the list, and now seemingly every week a different girl drags her friends into doing a version.

I have grown to love "Call me Maybe" over the past few months, and the most fun thing about the song, IMO, is reading all the clever You Tube parodies commenters make up, and whenever the song comes on (which is 42 times a day) singing the different versions. :)

Kiss is here!

"This Kiss" is awesome, "Curiosity" is maybe her best song and the new version is way better than the one on the Curiosity EP. Good album.

I'm working on a Call Me Maybe remix if anyone cares.

@Trillhouse (post 43): how is the album version of "Curiosity" different? I've only heard the original, which I liked.

Give us a link when you're ready. We'll help spread the word for you, so you won't get drowned by the billions of remixes.

I really enjoy this song.

EDIT: whoops, a necro.

Two posts up: awesome. That has made my CQ shift better for having seen it.
