  1. “Call Me Maybe” was a huge hit even though many say it drives them crazy. My opinion is the lyrics are catchy and the strings (although synthesized) are inspired. Fans of the song vary widely in the demographics. I have seen it performed live by an orchestra (No synthesizer) and it was a great performance. Carly Rae may not be my style, but she followed the proven formula for success of KISS (keep it simple stupid) and it payed off.
