In this video, it it set up as a music video where Adam Levin is going into a gas station because he is acting someone if he can use their phone. Then, he bursts out into a song about how he goes to a payphone to call and the song he does is "pay phone." Then the girl that signs "Call Me Maybe" comes into the gas station when Levin has stopped and gives him her number, but he's in a dilemma because he doesn't have a cell phone so he won't be able to call her.


 * What is the purpose of the piece?** They are making fun of Adam Levin by making up different lyrics on the song "Payphone" because he doesn't have a cell phone. They have changed around the words making fun of him for using a payphone because it's funny how a celebrity wouldn't have a cell phone to use. He has all this money, but apparently, he can't afford a cell phone.


 * How is the purpose being conveyed?** They have made it the same song with beat but completely exaggerated what the song is about. The author behind this all made it a comedy cartoon.


 * What is its significance in our society?** I feel like in our society, money is very important and everyone bases their successes off of how much money they have made. The significant to this video is that celebrities waste their money on different things that isn't necessary, but when they actually need something they don't have the money to spend on it. They just seem to waste their money on their wants and not their needs. Fun and entertaining things come first then when they need help they come to "regular" people to help them.
