And This is Crazy: The Story of Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe'

Welcome to the Season Finale Of Encore!


What would you say is the catchiest song of all time? You know
that one earworm that you hear once and then for the rest of the
day it plays over and over in your head?


Well, according to researchers at St. Andrews University in
Scotland a song needs to have five things to make it an earworm:
surprise, predictability, rhythmic repetition, melodic potency
and, most importantly, the listener must be receptive to the
creation on a basic level. In their study they determined the
catchiest song of all time is Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” which
alone can be identified by its rhythm. I’m sure you’ve attended
some sporting event and stomped or clapped that song without even
singing a note. It’s catchy, there’s no denying it and these
people are actual scientists sure, but have they ever heard a
song by the name of “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen? Because
that wins my vote.


And I’m not alone. Justin Bieber agrees with me. He once tweeted:
 “Call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepson is possibly the
catchiest song I've ever heard lol” How can anyone argue with the
Biebs!

Encore will return for season 5 in October 2024!
