And then just as I turned to leave, I caught sight of the full list of songs that they're running through.

Call Me Maybe was next.

So

you got to stay.

I had to stay and I did stay and I sung Call Me Maybe and I think I was the best singer in Brisbane that night.

This was like quarter to nine at night, wasn't it? On a weeknight.

It

Then there's another song that's also iconic as well.

Carly Rae Jepsen, Call Me Maybe.

Hey!

I mean, you could always just keep in the call us maybe thing at the end there.

Tell me.

So Carly Rae Jepsen is a victim of her own success in my mind, which is to say that like Call Me Maybe was such a ubiquitous hit, but it also for me was such a pigeonhole directed at one single demographic or slice of age that like, It's really hard to break out of that in any way, shape, or form.

And there was something so young about it, not quite silly, although a little silly.

Totally silly.

I'm not asking this for the listeners benefit.

I genuinely don't know.

How much time have you spent with the, with the, the catalog of Carly Rae Jepsen outside of Call Me Maybe?

Not a lot, but some is the truth.

Like, I feel like there's a huge case to be made about sort of re-evaluating pop artists as actual artists.

I think it's the whole poptimism debate where people are just like, oh, you know, you've got Carly Rae Jepsen in Call Me Maybe.

But then it's like, oh, she's actually doing a really good job.

It's like, that's because pop artists are still artists as well.
