Gotye

We'll close out the week with another hit.  It has already taken Europe by storm and I think it's #1 in England right now.  KGSR is playing it regularly and I'm sure it will hit #1 here eventually.  Gotye is a Belgian/Australian musician and he pulls in Kimbra, a New Zealand singer, for female vocals on this song.

Putting aside a critic's impartiality for a moment I must say:  I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG.  It deserves to be #1.  I love the music, the lyrics, the interplay between male/famale vocals.  It gets better with repeat listens.  There are tons of remixes out there and I'm not even sure which is the original.  I liked this version.

Somebody I Used to Know

Edit: I think this is the original version

Edit2:  75 Million Views!  I'm so out of touch.



Edit3: That video is really good.  It visualizes the relationship described in the lyrics perfectly.

I like the original version best. The first one posted sounds like something you'd hear in a dance club, like maybe, I don't know.....Oilcan Harry's.
