"Gotye - somebody that I used to know" - why is everyone going mad for this song?
It's crap.
 Radio 2 play it atleast 400 times an hour, and now radio 1 have started playing it as well? Annoying quirky synth noise coupled with equally annoying xylophone type sound, and then a whining guy and a whining woman...  Just why?

Personal taste I think Paul
I happen to like it, but, I used to like "Moves like Jagger" before it was played to death. Now, back on with Five Finger Death Punch... |

I dunno, I'll probably end up liking it in the end if they play it enough. Either that or my radio will end up like this

Re: "Gotye - somebody that I used to know" - why is everyone going mad for this song?
Yeah that's the other thing which annoys me is the production - did they mean for it to sound crap? Or did they do it on purpose?

Don't like the original but really like the version by Walk Off The Earth. I think it's pretty cool how they do it with one guitar.
