Season 3

In 2012, YouTube released the third YouTube Rewind video on December 17 via YouTube Spotlight. It was directed by Peter Furia, who also produced it alongside Michael Rucker and Beau Lewis. That years' video is a mashup of PSY's "Gangnam Style" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" (music composed by Jeff Kite), which also served as the basis of the video. Unlike the previous two years, several popular YouTubers made guest appearances, including PSY himself. References to 2012 events, like the 2012 U.S. Presidential election, Felix Baumgartner, Kony 2012, and NASA were made.
