Somebodies



In January of this very year the world was assaulted by a cover version of Gotye's song "Somebody That I Used to Know" played by five people on one guitar. Since there there have been countless other versions. It's probably got to the point now where you hate the song. You've heard it too many times, seen it parodied too many times and if you never hear it again it will be too song.

Well imagine it from the perspective of the artist. Labelled a one hit wonder, yes the album was well received but what is pretty much every gig goer there to hear?

So Gotye has decided there is only one thing to do. Take all the cover versions that are on youtube* and then mix them all together into some type of scrapbook montage.

*disclaimer : the videos used probably do not account for every single cover version done
