Entertaining Election Duets

http://www.trendhunter.com/slideshow/one-for-one'Romney and Obama Call

Uniting both the Democrat and Republican nominees for the 2012 Presidential bid, the hysterical Tonight Show's imagined Romney and Obama 'Call Me Maybe' video is perhaps one of the funniest parodies to be created from this election season. Nevertheless, it is amazing to see the political arch-nemeses in a light-hearted sing-off.

Regardless, it is still one of the absolute best parodies. The Carly Rae Jepsen song that has spawned athletic, celebrity, and now political lip-synchs is really quite something. The ridiculously catchy song has caught on in a big way and is sure to be remembered for all this hilarious craze. It would be interesting to see what the nominees have to say about this video.
