Army “Call Me Maybe” Cover
Here is an example of one of the many cover lip-syncs of this song, done by the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders:
Horrible lip-synching, yet strangely compelling. And now we have possibly an even more compelling version, from soldiers in Afghanistan:
Can’t beat the night-vision goggles, synchronized push-ups . . . and were they really firing mortar shells during the making of this video? Hilarious.
It’s hard to decide which I truly like better, so I won’t choose…I’ll enjoy both!!! Semper Fi!

Patterico (83033d) — 8/23/2012 @ 8:56 pm“Horrible lip-synching”
Yeah, I was watching that cheeleader video, and all I could think about was the poor lip-synching.

I dunno, Pat… if you think that the troops’ video is anywhere near as “compelling” as the cheerleaders’ video… I mean… I guess what I’m saying is that if that’s the way you feel about it, maybe Joe Biden would like to know.
Leviticus (102f62) — 8/23/2012 @ 9:18 pmThe cheerleaders … kind of like a Playboy thing; get all excited and then …. The redhead in blue, if I was half my age, but I suspect she’s of an age I’d think of her as a granddaughter.
The troops, now. That’s morale.

happyfeet (3c92a1) — 8/23/2012 @ 9:33 pmThe first video…
total rule 5, Patrick. I thought you were above this sort of thing.
I’m not criticizing, I’m just… noticing. heh.
Aaron "Worthing" Walker (23789b) — 8/23/2012 @ 9:43 pmI like the guys in the jeep who somehow can’t sync their arms together…. 😀

IGotBupkis, Legally Defined Cyberbully in All 57 States (8e2a3d) — 8/23/2012 @ 10:45 pmAH!!!
I watched it a couple times, and THEN I realized!!
You’re right — It’s not lip synced!!
It’s perfectly breast synced!!
REALLY! Check it yourself!!
Watch the breasts, they NEVER get out of sync with the song, NOT FOR AN INSTANT!!

nk (875f57) — 8/24/2012 @ 12:02 amBut please tell me the second video is a fake. That those are not American soldiers in Afghanistan.
Please.
nk (875f57) — 8/24/2012 @ 12:31 amNK:
That was one of the FOBs I supported when I was deployed to Kunar in 09-10. Yes, it is definitely American Soldiers. Where they are pretty much just walking around is a risk, so at lest they made the most of it.
And, yes, Patterico, those were live out-bound mortars. Pretty much an every day thing in that neck of the woods. Though I’m sure they were dropping a registration mission.
Robert C. J. Parry (a5133c) — 8/24/2012 @ 12:57 amThank you, Mr. Parry. I will confine my comments to the video, on YouTube.
nk (875f57) — 8/24/2012 @ 1:03 amI did not know that a ball crawl could be used that way. But I will remember it.
Beldar (8e9db8) — 8/24/2012 @ 2:48 amCall me crazy but these videos make me love America even more.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 8/24/2012 @ 7:02 amI cannot believe you don’t have this one Patterico. This is the best of the “Call Me Maybe” hits.

And very appropriate for the times.
NJRob (fe68e7) — 8/24/2012 @ 7:14 amOkay,
just watched the soldiers in Afghanistan one. That’s pretty awesome.
NJRob (fe68e7) — 8/24/2012 @ 7:19 amGod bless America!
Oh, AND the troops; God bless them, too.
Icy (die-hard Dolphins fan since the perfect season of 1972) (3615bd) — 8/24/2012 @ 8:02 amLoved the soldiers video. Makes me proud to be from the good ole USA. I may watch the girls later on, when I have more free time.
PatAZ (83729f) — 8/24/2012 @ 8:29 amHey wasn’t that blond in the first pic- the same women (well-built blond in the blue bikini) that Prince Harry was salivating over during his infamous Strip Poker party in Vegas?
Harry's_Mom (9b08f5) — 8/24/2012 @ 11:14 amThere was singing?
AD-Restore the Republic/Obama Sucks! (b8ab92) — 8/24/2012 @ 1:05 pm“There was singing?”
AD – I didn’t notice it either until I watched it the sixth or seventh time.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 8/24/2012 @ 1:10 pmThen I turned down the volume.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 8/24/2012 @ 1:11 pmThe horror . . . .

I once again find myself personally spending a lot of
time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
