There is this popular catchy tune out right now.
I know that it’s popular and catchy because they told me so on Nightline.
Also, I have heard it myself a few times.
According to Nightline, it’s one of those songs that has swept across YouTube in the form of fun parodies and such.
I’ve also seen it in the other meme forms.
“Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy,
But here’s my number, so call me maybe
It’s hard to look right, at you baby,
But here’s my number, so call me maybe ” (original chorus)
So here is what I think:
What’s so crazy about giving someone your phone number when you first meet? How else are you going to explore the possibility of a future relationship?
Obviously I’m either too old or too literal or too … something to really get this song. But here’s my version, modified to fit my point of view. 🙂
Hey, we just met, and I find you very attractive
Let’s get together and see if this might lead somewhere
To facilitate that I’m going to provide you with a means of contacting me
But only if you choose to, so I’m not asking for your number back.
It’s possible it needs a little work to get it to really flow.

It’s so funny how catchy the song is. Haha. I find myself humming it and dancing to it at inopportune moments in the day.

It is pretty catchy. I suppose that’s what got me thinking about it.
Btw, I think there is never an inopportune moment to dance in the day.
So I appreciate it even more now for that. 😀

Haha. That’s true. And I am notorious for randomly breaking into song. 🙂

I like your version, very succinct.

Thanks. For the most part it’s just easier if we’re all just upfront about things and don’t play games.
