Happy For No Reason: Call Me ... Maybe

Caught this on Slate and have enjoyed playing it for a few people. If you're not familiar with chatrourette, it's a website that randomizes site-to-site connections.   From what I understand, it's populated with weirdness, but SteveKardynal got the idea of lip syncing "Call Me Maybe" in a wig and bikini and putting together a short video of peoples'  reactions.

I love the random reactions, with 80% of them being spontaneously positive and joyful.  Those that aren't are still entertaining.

It's a little over the top, but it's one angle on the practice of 'being happy for no reason.'
