Remember that Carly Rae Jepsen song "Call Me Maybe" that came out this summer and was parodied by so many different groups - the US Olympic Swim Team, Jimmy Fallon, the Harvard Baseball Team - just to name a few.
Well a school in NYC recently released a version related to the upcoming election.
Harlem's Democracy Prep Hawk's fourth grade class turned the "Call Me Maybe" song into a message that encourages people to get out and vote.
Democracy Prep's amazing fourth grade scholars want YOU to vote this November 6th! The Harlem Prep Hawks sing their civic message loud and proud to the tune of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." A "Straight A" network, with 2,000 students across seven campuses in Harlem, NY and Camden, NJ, Democracy Prep is proving what is possible in urban education. We are preparing our responsible citizen-scholars to succeed in the college of their choice and a life of active citizenship. We hope they inspire YOU to Vote for Somebody! The scholars are hoping to get 100,000 views and likes.
I think its great that young kids are being instilled with the importance of voting- hopefully this fun video will motivate people to register and get out there and vote!
Also check out the parody that Jay Leno did on Obama and Romney singing the 'Call me Maybe' song.
