A Sesame Workshop employee watches Carly Rae's "Call Me Maybe" music video on an office computer.
Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian pop singer. First achieving national notoriety as taking third place on Canadian Idol in 2007, her song "Call Me Maybe" reached number one on the Billboard charts in 2012, sky-rocketing her to international fame. Her success is partial thanks to Justin Bieber signing her to his record label.
In July 2012, "Call Me Maybe" was parodied by Cookie Monster for a Sesame Street YouTube video, "Share It Maybe". Her original music video is shown in the Sesame Workshop-produced music video on the computer screen of someone at the Sesame Workshop offices.
Jepsen's song "Cut to the Feeling" was originally supposed to be featured briefly as the second song in the Muppet Babies reboot episode "Summer the Great." It was ultimately replaced by an original song, though Jepsen's song credit and lyrics remained in the closed-captions for the episode's initial airing and inclusion on Disney+.
