U.S. Swim Team- "Call Me Maybe" Parody

A week ago a video surfaced on YouTube of the U.S. swim team doing a parody of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe".

It. Made. Me. Smile. 

It's a feel good video of hard working Olympic athletes having a little bit of fun in the pool, on the plane, in a bus, hotel hallways, at appearances, etc. And, you know what, why not? They work hard every day, a little fun to help the body unwind is good medicine, I think. And, may I say, it certainly did not hurt most of them. Just check the medals.

It shows that they're not just work horses, but that they're people that like to have fun, too. And they have a sense of humor like the rest of us.

It may not be such a show of solidarity as a music video South Korean idols had done, but gosh darn it, it was still cute.

Let me just preface this a little bit by saying that these are swimmers so there will be some in scant dress. But for the most part they are clothed.

You'll recognize Missy Franklin, Ryan Lochte and of course, the awesome Michael Phelps. 

Here's the video. Credit goes to Ms. Jepsen and the U.S. Olympic Swim Team 2012.

Author Note: Ok, I tried to upload the video from YouTube, but it is blocked from being viewed on sites like blogs I guess. But if you do a search for "US Swim Team Call Me Maybe", you'll be sure to find it. Hope you enjoy!
