Maybe the ultimate misstep with the Kiss era was that she tried to move out of CMM's shadow when she should have instead lounged under it like an umbrella on the beach. Funny how that phrase made me think of this image hahaha.

I'm nervous. It seems like all my faves and any song that I really like is destined to be a flop, but I hope I'm wrong. I hope the video helps with sales and all the planned promo works out the way we are all hoping. I need Carly to smash with this and stick around!

Scooter is really really really trying to go for the viral effect for this video as well. All news outlets, both published and online, will be talking about Tom Hanks starring in her video. This isn't just a cameo appearance either, he's the main focal point throughout.

Boring, and the thought of Tom Hanks lip synching to this cute but generic song (which sounds more and more like a second or third single on one of those B list Disney stars's album) is kinda cringe-inducing. A tragedy all around. Poor Carly Rae, I had such high hopes and dreams for her. I hope we get to hear the album, the Vampire Weekend and Tegan and Sara collabs are bound to be good. She is so talented after all.

Linnethia Monique is spot-on: non-music media (morning shows and the tabloid/infotainment programs like ET) is way more likely to report on the video because Tom Hanks is the star (plus there's a Forrest Gump reference in their text conversation that they can ooh and aah at). What I hope to see next is a push for Vine loops: take the redone "I need to tell you something..." break before the last chorus, release a clip on SoundCloud for download, and let Vine creators add their own version of the "I'm pregnant"/"just kidding" conversation in the video. UMG has a good history on there (MisterWives, Mary Lambert, Jason French, etc.), so I won't be surprised if they already have similar plans in the works.

From a marketing viewpoint, the video works.

I love her she is perfect , her music is perfect. Sweet girl and talented. Her music is like 80's pop revamped. Much like a certain non living celebrity use to make in the 80's before they passed away.

Its not that he cant lip it just looks like he is in pain and his face can't move or something. I would say maybe he got face pulled back or had work done but with all those wrinkles i hardly doubt it. Something is off with his face in the video

Tom, hon, u need to learn how to lip better Seriously!! It's like, did he listen to the song like once before shooting?? He legit looks like he's singing gibberish most of the time. Plus, Carly, I'm gonna need you to actually somewhat be the main focus (all advertising strategies aside) of your own comeback lead single. Like, can I actually see your face enough not to think that could be a body double!?!

Great video. More Carly would've been nice, but as someone who has loved watching Tom Hanks growing up, you can't go wrong with him. Very good man, loved seeing him in the music video. :)

I get that Tom's presence/prominent role will generate a lot of buzz, bring a lot of media attention that her video likely wouldn't have gotten otherwise...but I don't get why it had to be JUST Tom lipping, smiling, and walking around for most of the it. yes, people will check it out to see Tom, but it doesn't have any replay value for me (unlike CMM, which had a delicious shirtless male star, Carly acting adorkable throughout, and a nice gay twist at the end ~)
granted, I guess that people checking this out just once, just because Tom's in it, is still better than never bothering to watch it at all

So when she said "Tom Hanks is in my video" I didn't think that was going to be the literal treatment for the entire video. Since that is what they went for, they should have either done a bigger buildup to the "I'm pregnant/just kidding" punchline, OR had him dancing throughout his entire day (people love goofy dancing, but only doing it at the end wasn't enough for me). The song is still an infectious earworm, but I agree that the video doesn't have much replay value.

Yeah, I think I'll pretend I didn't see that video...
Still a cute song though, still has potential. A lot of potential I think the more I listen to it.

Tbh I think it would have been more amusing to have Bieber lipsyncing throughout it if they were gonna go that route. (as much as that may have put some people off)
Please tell me there will be a CRJ version to the video too tho. It frustrates me they spent so much of the video focused just on Tom. :'(

The video has come across my FB feed twice so far today, both from people I went to college with. It would seem this is on its way to accomplishing its intended purpose. :)

I really give major kudos to Carly for sticking to the pure-pop sound of her debut, major release. She could've easily been shady and turned her back on pop fans and went super indie pop, but I'm glad she's giving a mainstream another strong go. As youthful as she looks, she's right on that cusp of 30, and you can tell.

Video has 0 rewatch factor at all. And what makes it even worse for me is that I cannot stand Tom Hanks.
Oh well, at least the song is top notch in my book.

The video was on the front page of Yahoo! today but still only 1 Million views in a day.I bet the record label was expecting PSY-style type of youtube views with this video.
