“Call Me Maybe” is a hit … in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Check out this cover by the U.S. Marines.

Filmmaker Eric Raum and friend Randy Moresi shot the servicemembers while they were on their lunch break.

“I’ll say right now, as much fun as everyone in the video is having, these guys WORK HARD! That’s why this had to be planned out ahead of time, as we knew this would have to be fit into as little time as possible,” Raum wrote on his blog.

And the servicemembers learned those choregraphed dance moves in less than half an hour, Raum said.

“They quickly learned the steps, performed with vigor, said their goodbyes and got back to their jobs,” Raum wrote.
