So giz a ring will y’pet?!
Just when you thought hearing this song once more would make you throw the radio out the window… Along comes this.
Fans of the Geordie accent (is anyone not a fan) will adore this cover of Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Call Me Maybe’. The biggest pop song of 2012 gets a makeover from Newcastle duo May Arcade, complete with multiple lyric changes that we are absolutely loving.
The cover was originally posted in August of 2012, so they’re not super late to the party or anything – but after it was shared as Facebook video earlier this week they have attracted hundreds of thousands of new fans.
Turn it up and enjoy, and if you fancy some office singalong action, here’s the full Geordie translation:
A hoyed a wish in the well
Don’t ask us al’ never tell
A looked at you as it fell
But now y’in me way
Swapped me soul for a wish
Coppers and quids for a kiss
A wasn’t lookin for this
But now y’in me way
Your stare was hawlding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Canny neet (night) the wind was blowin
Wher y’think your ganin da’lin
Here, a just met y’like
Nd this is mental
But heres me number
So giz a ring will y’pet
It’s solid to look right
At y’da’lin
So here’s me number
So giz a ring ill y’pet AYE??
Y’took the mick with the call
A tuk no time with the fall
Y’giv us bugger all
But still y’in me way
A beg n borra n steel
T’take y’out for posh meals
A didn’t na a wud feel
But now y’in me way
Your stare was hawlding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Canny neet (night) the wind was blowin
Wher y’think your ganin da’lin
Here, a just met y’like
Nd this is mental
But heres me number
So giz a ring will y’pet AYE? OY A HAMMA AWA HERE WEY AI
Before y’swanned into me life
