  • Somebody that I used to know

    Been listening to this song for a while now. I love it!! It sounds like Sting & Katy Perry singing a duet.
    It has that 80's vibe. Kind of like a lost song from the 80's that's suddenly somebody discovered & now is a HUGE hit.

    Honestly I can't get into this Gotye guy, maybe because (to me) he sounds a lot like Peter Gabriel and I am not a Gabriel fan.

    Most of my friends love him though, so you are in good company!

      I love the song, but I think some of the covers actually sound a lot better than the original.
      I love this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt74jX2C1m0
      But that's because I like acapella music, and Peter Hollins is amazing.

        Crossbow, I know exactly what you mean about the covers.

        This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOKuAigsrec is actually my all time favorite.

          Wow, Dasota. That's an excellent version. I'll be adding that group to my watch list.

            There's another, I can't find it, but someone took clips from a TON of covers and put it together in one video, I also thought that was way cool

              Gotye himself did that one, surprisingly.

                I actually like the Glee! version (Though the context they used it in was a bit..odd....)

                I'm guessing this is it?

                  I hate to have to crap in the living room, so to speak, but I hate that song.

                    I can't quite decide if I like it or hate it, but it's catchy as fuck.

                      I really like the song, but the amount of exposure bothers me.

                      Like I was trying and there was one version on the radio, at dinner the dance mix was playing, and when i went clubbing the dubstep and dance mix versions played. this was all in one night. I got so annoyed.

                      Somebody that I used to know and Call me Maybe just have FAR too many covers and remixes.

                        That's the one!

                        As far as the Call Me Maybe covers and memes, I love a good chunk of those too.

                        My favorite meme is "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but I'm on bath salts and your face looks tasty."

                        And I do love this mash up of Call Me Maybe and Somebody That I Used To Know.
