Anyone who is anyone has probably seen or at least heard of the YouTube sensation that was the USA Swim Team lip syncing Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Call Me Maybe". If you browse through YouTube for a few minutes, you're bound to come across hundreds if not thousands of similar videos of people mouthing the words of this catchy song over Jepsen's actual recording. Anyone can put one of these videos together in an afternoon with a simple digital video camera and some simple editing software that probably came pre-installed on your laptop.
But what if you wanted to try something completely different?
This group of musicians took what is already a very well known song and made the very own version of it. I'm impressed by this because there were probably close to 100 people involved in making this happen and they did a great job with it. The song in the video below has the feel of Jepsen's original, but also brings something new to it. Enjoy!
