Boy Oh Boy, Carly Rae Is a Piker

I am hardly a Europhile, but I must admit while the American pop scene is so degraded that it can only churn out something as banal - catchy but banal - as "Call Me Maybe", two European gals have cooked up a hit with essentially the same thematic plea as Carly Rae, namely 'I like you, I wish you would call me'.  But these two do it with a poetry ("spring is making promises outside") and demureness that is intoxicating.  In the end, you know the guy calls.  He'd be crazy not to.
