C++ create temporary object to call member function

What's wrong with the line of code with compile errors (in comment), in the code below? I thought it is supposed to call the TestMe constructor with the const std::string, then call operator() on it. But it looks like it is trying to construct TestMe with variable a.

#include <iostream>

namespace
{
class TestMe
{
public:
    TestMe() {}
    TestMe( const std::string& me ) : me_( me ) {}

    bool operator()() const
    {
        std::cout << "calling operator()" << std::endl;
        return true;
    }

private:
    const std::string me_;
};
}


int main()
{
    const std::string a("a");

    //
    // construct an instance of TestMe and call its operator()
    //

    TestMe()();         // OK
    TestMe( "abc" )();  // OK
    TestMe tm( a );     // OK
    TestMe( a )();      // compile error: what's wrong with this?
    TestMe( { a } )();  // OK

    return 0;
}

Compile error:

../src/main.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
../src/main.cpp:44:14: error: ‘{anonymous}::TestMe a()’ redeclared as different kind of symbol
  TestMe( a )();   // compile error
