Invincible as herpes, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" has topped Village Voice's Pazz & Jop year-end critics poll.

"Call Me Maybe" is a smash hit pop song by Carly Rae Jepsen that has been covered an obscene number of times. (Margarita Pracatan, Cookie Monster, and a Corgi have all given their takes.)

Picture this: Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse sitting in a theater lecherously reviewing Carly Rae Jepsen's music video for "Call Me Maybe" MST3K-meets-Beavis-and-Butt-head-style while Pop-Up Video bubbles let them know Carly is old enough to legally lust over.

What do you get when you mix up dirty gangstress Khia's infamously foul-mouthed ode to oral reciprocation "My Neck, My Back" with Carly Rae Jepsen's cloyingly infectious coquetry anthem "Call Me Maybe"? W.R.7's "All You Ladies Call Me Maybe Like This" — and a very weird boner.

I don't know what's weirder: That Steve Kardynal enjoys freaking out Chatroulette users by wearing a bikini while lip-syncing to Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe", or that there are still people who use Chatroulette.

Margarita Pracatan is at least 60, extremely Cuban and quasi-known for her wacky covers of pop songs. They are irreverent not just to their source material, but to the ideas of melody and rhythm. On Friday, she performed her one-woman show, Stranger in the Night, at New York's Laurie Beechman Theater under the direction of Zach Udko. It was one of the wildest entertainment concepts I've ever witnessed. For over an hour, Pracatan stood in front of a pidgin-English PowerPoint presentation and discussed her love of money, her hatred of marriage and her frequenting of hotel bathrooms with her riffs on pop songs like Lionel Richie's "Hello," Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and Maroon 5/Christina Aguilera's "Moves Like Jagger" interspersed. Before singing "Jagger," she told the crowd, "You can sing with me, 'cause I don't know this song." Every time she stepped up to the keyboard, she regarded it warily, as if it were her first time ever setting eyes on it. I believe that her "Teenage Dream" rendition linked to above uses the wrong preset beat. Oh well, incoherence is her aesthetic.

As anyone who has been online for a minute knows, a meme isn't truly a meme until Sesame Street spoofs it.

On next week's Billboard Hot 100, dated June 23, Carly Rae Jepsen's diabolical ear candy "Call Me Maybe" at last assumes the No. 1 position. The song was practically preordained as the song of the summer, and wouldn't you know, it happens hit No. 1 on the first chart of summer proper. Everything is going according to the universe's plan.

Now this is crazy: Colin Powell and CBS This Morning co-anchor Gayle King take advantage of a commercial break to bust out the chorus of Carly Rae Jepsen's insufferably infectious "Call Me Maybe" while Charlie Rose watches on.

Sorry, everyone, but you'll never escape this song this summer, so you might as well force yourself to watch every single goddamn daily cover released of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," because at least it changes things up a bit.

OK, so it's not actually the President singing Carly Rae Jepsen's oh-God-why-can't-I-stop-listening-to-this hit, but it's definitely the next best thing.

Carly Rae Jepsen's pop hit "Call Me Maybe" is the kind of song you love or hate — or, perhaps more accurately, totally love and crank in the car when no one else is around, but then talk about hating in public. I don't know your life.

It's been some time since we were bombarded by a perfect pop song, and even longer since we've been bombarded by a perfect pop song from a young Canadian pop idol, but 26-year-old Carly Rae Jepsen has fulfilled both world shortages with a single, maddeningly addicting song: "Call Me Maybe."
