Prairie Ridge Jr. Wolves Film Their Version of "Call Me Maybe"

Inspired by the Harvard University baseball team's lip-dub of the popular song, this team of young football players perform their own parody of the video.

 

Last week, Crystal Lake-Cary Patch shared the lip-dub video of "Call Me Maybe" made by the teachers at Cary Junior High School.

Then, another reader shared this video performed by 18 Prairie Ridge Jr. Wolves football players. Judi Masini, whose son is on the team and in the video, thought it would be fun for the boys to videotape their own version.

"Call Me Maybe" is a song written and peformed by Canadian singer Carley Rae Jepsen. After Jepsen's video of the song was released, other celebrities peformed their own lip-dubs of the song sparking an internet sensation.

Since then, everyone from sports teams to college mascots have joined in the craze, filming their own choreographed videos and sharing them on the web.
