Gotye parody video of 'Somebody That I Used To Know'

Gotye parody video of 'Somebody That I Used To Know'

Who's saying what

His little face movements are so good.

Nothing like jumping on the coattails of currently the most successful artist in Australia to make a name for yourself. Or in this case, a new one. But when it's created with such heart and attention to detail, it's hard not to take notice.

Kimbra looks different.



The Former Love Pirates just found out about the best way to tell everyone their new name / they exist. Bravo. As Gotye himself tweeted, "next level."

    Yeah, more like a Piggy-splat, as in "they've actually done shit-all".

    Compelling argument. "A parody in contemporary usage, is an imitative work created to...trivialise an original work."

    The "compelling argument" was in response to your own flowery prose. If you can't see the reference in a clip, which by definition "mimics the style of another composer, author, etc, in a humorous way" whatever the exact intention or result, then more fool you.
