It is apparently some pop song that is somehow related to Justin Bieber. I asked Pedro about it the other day, but when he got to Bieber I stopped him.

Related. And awesome.

This reminded me of my high school girlfriend. She made a scrapbook of furniture we should have in our house when we get married. I told her that was a little weird, so she burned it in her back yard.

Here is a non-bieber version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic
Oddly, old people at the gym have been yucking it up about how catchy it is. Give it a few seconds and picture the geriatric ward rocking it on the treadmill.

if you watch the second guy from left (next to ?uestlove), you'll see him duck behind jimmy's head and then you'll hear a recorder

i really don't like that song but even i have to admit that arrangement was fun, and i enjoyed it

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer/songwriter, similar to Justin Beiber in that she started out young and in Canada before gaining broader acclaim.  She's been well known in Canada for quite a while, more so when she competed on Canadian Idol, and much more so since her song Call Me Maybe got popular.  Back when she had finished her Canadian Idol tour of the country, I was working for that crap job, basically as a booking agent, and I helped coordinate a small tour for her through my province.  She was nice and professional when I worked with her over the phone, I never listened to any of her music when I put together the tour.  I dismissed her as a Canadian Idol kid and didn't know until later that she had a music career before that.  It was only after the tour, when all the people who booked her said she was outstanding that I listened to some of her recordings.  Too bad I missed seeing her before she hit the big time in those tiny little venues I booked her into I guess.  What especially sets her apart is that she's not a manufactured artist - she writes her own music and is more or less genuinely who she presents herself to be.  She has a good singing voice without the aid of autotune.  Her link to Justin Beiber, apart from the similar backgrounds is that she is touring as his opening act on his current tour.  I actually quite like her music and considering she has actual talent, I'm glad she's seeing some south of the boarder success.

Yeah, I like it too. Such a great chorus. I also liked the Bieber fan video, but only for one viewing.

But once you see it, you can't unsee it. Every other time I watched it I was thinking "Yeah, I can see that"
