Call Me Maybe

The song "Call Me Maybe" sung by Carly Rae Jepsen is extremely overplayed that I memorized the song in about three plays of how easy and simple it was. This song became famous because of a video that was filmed by a bunch of Disney stars like Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, and including Justin Bieber. Not going to lie, this song is extremely catchy...but nonetheless it is far far far away from being a good song. It's that typical "bubble gum" music that is just a catchy tune with no actual moral to the song. Usually the song lyrics can't even have a moral to it because the actual lyrics don't actually MAKE SENSE. For example:


"I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way

I'd trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way." 



If anyone could translate what these lyrics mean please let me know. I apologize for the fact I simply don't understand why she traded a soul and then she thew a wish instead of dimes and pennies in a well?! But then it gets better, this is the chorus of the song that is repeated an unhealthy number of times:


"Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?"


I mean obviously she just really wants a boyfriend or something because usually guys do the call me maybe thing not the girls. Regardless, the lyrics say it all. It just a stupid song about a girl that finds some guy super hot and goes over the edge to tell him that she fucking loves him.

I leave you with the video that started it all.
