Obama 'Call me maybe' mashup hits the Web

By Adele Hampton - 06/05/12 10:32 AM ET

President Obama wants you to call him. Well, maybe.

Youtube mashup veteran Fadi Saleh, or baracksdubs, as he's known on the popular video site, is back with a new parody: President Obama singing the lyrics to the summer hit "Call me maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.

The video complies bits and pieces of the president's speeches ultimately creating a viral hit that's garnered more than 390,000 views since its Monday night upload.

"Your stare was holdin', ripped jeans, skin was showin'. Hot night, wind was blowin'. Where you think you're going, baby," Obama sings. "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?

Previous baracksdubs mashups of Obama have taken the Web by storm. March's video of the president singing and dancing to LMFAO's "Sexy and I know it" garnered more than 9 million views.
