YouTube and UStream references are not reliable per WP:YOUTUBE. The videos were uploaded by random online users and could have been edited for any purpose such as inclusion on this Wikipedia article. If it was not copyright infringement to add such links, then every single page here would have YouTube references. But do we see those references in Featured Articles or Good Articles? No, we don't. Plus, how can you even confirm that "she performed the unrecorded intro to the song" if we have no reliable source for that? Remember that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and users, specially those who are placed among the reviewers category, should know how to identify reliable sources. - Saulo Talk to Me 05:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
After some of my own research I have figured out that the entire EP release of Curiously, which includes "Call Me Maybe" has been so destroyed dynamically that the actually shipped CD contains clipped sections. Since there is a YouTube 1080p clip available to compare against it is easy to show that the lossly reference material not only looks better than what is shipped on CD, but also sounds better.
Comparison EP vs YouTube
I guess this is not the place to start some sort of religious war on how bad the mastering of this track was. But since it is so trivial to prove, and I didn't find anyone else that did so, it may be interesting historically for an iTunes no. 1 song. --Skinkie (talk) 00:44, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Someone wrote that she has a number one hit on the hot 100 US. Its peak is still 2 and the website to prove that it became a number one hit shows that it is still 2. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.170.99.252 (talk) 20:43, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
This song will come to SiNG. (an singing game for Wii U.) Can somebody write that this sing is seen the tralier of SiNG? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.80.124.63 (talk) 10:02, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
I would like to add the following text to the end of the cover versions section
New York based production house Stacks of Wax Productions released a disco cover featuring NY singer songwriter Nicholas Wells through YouTube on June 16, 2012.
the cover has garnered over 100,000 views in two days and is getting airplay on radio stations in NY and Baltimore. If possible, I would like to add a link to the youtube video of said cover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld7qaVpkFmI — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.21.82.134 (talk) 19:32, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I would like to add the ChatRoulette trol act from youtube. As of this wrighting, it has reached 2 million views. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAQhG59zqZc&list=PL0A6B90345D2B1486&index=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.128.250.46 (talk) 19:05, 12 January 2013 (UTC) Apparently it had been removed by Youtube previously when it had already reached 32 million views. So That's 34 million views in total.
I heard the cover version of those songs and I'm pretty sure it's just written by the band as a promotional tool. Wikipedia should be about culturally significant things, not promoting your shitty high school band and the half-baked pop cover they play at the prom reception. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.212.132.172 (talk) 03:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Who keeps changing the chart peaks to the current positions? She already peaked at #2 in Germany, so why would someone change it to #3, its current position? I have already corrected this several times for other countries, especially France! --PopMusicObsessed (talk) 14:27, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Just wondering if we should include a section that discusses the vast internet reception (both good bad and comedic) surrounding this song. There are countless you tube remakes, memes and constant jokes and references. All of which have had a major impact on the songs continued existence in pop culture. Aperseghin (talk) 13:02, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
I thought this was suspect. Maybe I'm reading the sentence wrong, but I'm reading it that Carly Rae Jepsen is the 5th Canadian to top the Billboard Top 100. I did some investigating and this is not true. http://www.canada.com/entertainment/story.html?id=801009 says otherwise (and may not be complete). — Devin.chaloux (chat) 04:43, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
"Jepsen is the first female artist to have a debut single at number one on Billboard Hot 100 since Kesha's "Tik Tok"."
The following is accurate. In actuality, it's Lady Gaga's "Born This Way". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.94.240.194 (talk) 05:28, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Who cares? and Prove it.LuciferWildCat (talk) 19:42, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Athletes of the 2012 Summer Olympics also made a version of Call Me Maybe. That should be in the article. I will put that in the article myself, but if you want to change it you can. CPGirlAJ (talk) 18:48, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

For real? This song is prettymuch Friday 2.0 and no backlash is mentioned? --RThompson82 (talk) 06:58, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
The song is obviously bubblegum pop, we should add it. Whatever318 (talk) 21:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

It's been in the edit history for a while and I've been away from Wikipedia for a very long while so I'm a bit hesitant to revert or directly flag it it, but this sentence from the In Popular Culture section seems unlikely. And it's uncited.
It has also served as the main theme for the popular game show Jeopardy! when the show celebrated its 30th anniversary season in 2013.

This is probably not the place for a great debate but why aren't lyrics to songs embedded in an Wikipedia article. Are there copyright issues to such a move as the lyrics are available in the liner notes or songbooks? 82.132.212.222 (talk) 15:12, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
[copyrighted song lyrics removed]
I added a little tidbit that the song draws influences from the genre baroque pop, due to the string sections in the song. In Honeymoon, a song by Lana Del Rey, it is called baroque pop for the same reason (just string sections), so is this alright to add? Because I don't have a cite for it. 67.85.37.113 (talk) 01:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC) Person without Wiki account =P
I see baroque pop as an influence on this track. If it is true well give a source. If you don't have any (which is most likely) I think Sunshine pop is more relevant. ThibaultGerm (talk) 14:40, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
