Thanks to a couple of posts on blogs that I refuse to own up to following, my afternoon has been dedicated to Carly Rae Jepsen 's ' Call Me Maybe '. '' Van Zandt continued to state that `` all I know is that I have co-dependency issues when it comes to my music. When it 's sad, I 'm sad. When it 's angry, I 'm angry. And when it 's ridiculously over-produced, up - tempo bubblegum pop with terrible lyrics on a beautiful day in Chicago when I 'm wearing pink pants, I just kind of want to start skipping around handing my number out to random bros, you know ? '' Jim Farber of the New York Daily News said, `` In lyrical construction, melodic flourish and instrumental arrangement, ' Maybe ' has the urgency and sweep of the greatest teen pop songs ever recorded.

Music video ( Edit ) The music video for `` Call Me Maybe '' was written and directed by Ben Knechtel.

The music video has over 1 billion views on YouTube as of October 2017. The video begins with Jepsen spying on her attractive tattooed neighbour ( Holden Nowell ) as he is working on his lawn. As he takes his shirt off and notices she is staring at him, Jepsen slips on her high heels and falls below her window. She is reading the books Love at First Sight ( Men In Uniform ) by B.J. Daniels and Skylar 's Outlaw by Linda Warren. The scene then cuts to her garage, where she is rehearsing the track with her band. Following the rehearsals, her bandmates push her to go and wash her car, where she tries to gain her neighbour 's attention with various provocative poses only to fall from the hood of the car. She is briefly knocked out from the fall, during which she dreams of a romance novel - type encounter with her crush against the backdrop of Peggys Cove. As she comes to, the neighbour then helps her get up, and watches the band rehearse the track again. After turning and writing down her telephone number, Jepsen sees her neighbour pass one of her male bandmates ( Tavish Crowe ) his own number, indicating he does n't like women at all and is gay, where the very end shows that Jepsen is taken aback by this. The video received three nominations on the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards in the categories of UR Fave Video, Pop Video of the Year, and Video of the Year.
