Call Me Maybe

Quote from Wikipedia's entry on Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe:
"Lyrically, the track alludes to the inconvenience that a love at first sight brings to a girl who hopes for a call back from a crush." 

Definition of "alludes" :

alludes3rd person singular present of al·lude (Verb)

Verb:
  1. Suggest or call attention to indirectly; hint at.
  2. Mention without discussing at length.
Lyrics to Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe:
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe.


Possible Conclusions:
Conclusion 1
Wikipedia writer does not know what allude means. 

Conclusion 2
Wikipedia writer has read so far into Carly's lyrics that they've come out the other side and now sees them as cryptic. 

Conclusion 3
Call Me Maybe is so great that any attempts to explain it will never do it justice, like trying to describe a rainbow or the Christmas scene from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
