Alaskan hunters join 'Call Me Maybe' viral lip-sync craze (video)

If you are not yet familiar with the 2012 pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen's summer jam, "Call Me Maybe," we strongly encourage you check it out (here) before proceeding onward. If you are familiar with the video, and the numerous Internet lip-sync versions it inspired among fans, by all means, continue. A group of Alaskan hunters have made their own version, and it's a doozy.

The lip-sync version featured below -- created by a group of adult men -- is insane. "Call Me Maybe Alaskan Hunter Version" includes just a few of Alaska's favorite things:

Camo and denim: Check.

Outhouse: Check.

"907": Check.

Mohawk helmet: Check.

Man in a bear skin: Check.

Man, likely intoxicated, in hot tub with duck decoys: check.

Total bizarre awesomeness: also check.

The only thing that seems to be missing is a dog.

It was pretty inventive until the crew obviously ran out of material; at which point it got a little uncomfortable. But not as uncomfortable as, say, Steve Kardynal's ridiculous "sexy" Chatroulette version, viewable here. WARNING: video is appropriate for adult viewers only! (And even then just barely).

You're probably better off just watching the most chaste, edifying version of Carly Rae's hit, performed in New Haven, Conn., by the volunteers of 3Penny Chorus and Orchestra:
