That's because "Call Me Maybe" hadn't come out yet.

Fun fact...

The Ukrainian singer Aza filed a lawsuit in L.A. accusing Carly Rae Jepsen of stealing her Christmas song "Hunky Santa" and turning it into "Call Me Maybe." According to the suit, producers simply tweaked her tune before adding Carly Rae Jepsen's voice.

The Aza song sound absolutely NOTHING like Call Me Maybe by the way... It also might be worse then that Rebecca Black song too.

The Oh Mamma I want to go surfing is actually Obama I want to go surfing.....The lyric "Honey hes moving into the big house" kinda gives it away

I was good friends with him back then so I might have been there. He does crossfit training out in Vancouver so he might be a little tougher now.
