These songs are appealing on a very basic level hearing famous, talented people step up and sing complete nonsense in the place of real lyrics they (and other people) slaved over never gets old. Before Jepsen jumped into the ring, I'd argue the undisputed queen of Simlish pop was Katy Perry - she's recorded Simlish versions of both " Hot n Cold" and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)." You can even watch her sing the latter live. If you're unfamiliar with the soundtracks, the names involved will astound you: Hot Chip, Janelle MonĂ¡e, Paramore, The Flaming Lips, My Chemical Romance, Kelly Rowland, and many others have contributed.

A great hidden pleasure of The Sims series is the assortment of in-game radio stations, which are usually stuffed with Simlish recreations of recognizable songs by popular musicians. Jepsen's single " Run Away With Me" is included on the soundtrack for The Sims 4: Get Together, the latest expansion for the long-running life sim. When your songs aren't going to sail onto radio by your name alone, you have to explore alternative promotional methods, and that might explain how we got here: Carly Rae Jepsen is singing in Simlish. It's clear that Jepsen's never going to recapture the insane success of "Call Me Maybe" at this point, she'd probably be satisfied with the mid-tier career of someone like Robyn or Kylie Minogue, two stars who have trusty taste and devoted, cultish fanbases.
