Barack Obama Singing Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
baracksdubs
A 2012 parody dub that splices clips of Barack Obama speaking into a performance of Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe'. It is a short comedic mashup built entirely from re-ordered snippets of his real speech.
HN commenters cite it as a silly but clear example of how cutting and reordering real footage can fabricate meaning without any deepfake technology.
