Bet singer Carly Rae Jepsen had no clue her "Call Me Maybe" pop tune would be such a hit with U.S. Olympic teams.

Earlier, America's swim team made its lip-sync version of the song and now the dive team is getting in on the act.

Diver Abigail "Abby" Johnston posted the latest one to YouTube.com with the entire team spoofing the catchy song plus Johnston and teammate Kelci Bryant showing off their Silver medals from the three-meter platform event.

Johnston even added her own lyric: "Hey, I just medaled, and this is crazy, but Ryan Lochte, call me maybe." (Lochte, a member of the U.S. swim team, took a Gold in the 400 individual medley.)

The dive team stars are Johnston, Bryant, Katie Bell, Cassidy Krug, Christina Loukas, Nick McCrory, David Boudia, Kristian Ipsen, and Chris Colwill. Team members reportedly use the song during warmups.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
