I remember seeing Walk off the Earth's version and being blown away by it. I too happen to like the Gotye version for different reasons, just seems to stick in my head.

How many songs have you got in the charts Paul, eh?


I like it, I think little miss rebellious herself, Fearne cotton was championing it on radio 1 last month - only just got it out of my head ready for the inevitable overplayment.

i'm pretty sure that the background riff is the 'Trumpton' one.

play anything on the radio enough and the public will start to like it and buy it.
