sure it may be tuned a good amount but at least its not overly reverbed like every single shitty indie song out there now.

Completely agree. I don't understand why everyone is losing their shit over this track. It bores the hell out of me.

These guys sing better than him. Maybe that's why he's bitter.

the "gotye" link in the description doesn't bring me anywhere

Aaaaah. I was wondering what that bit was. I dont really watch it but know there's a few gay men on it so assumed they were shagging.

There goes my theory that the creator will call Wally a homophobe


Edit: he prob will still accuse him anyway. Haha

Anamericangod blasting the lyrics of this song when he listens to shit with lyrics much worse. Classic.

Yea, but have you heard "I Feel Better"? It puts you in a good mood!

The song is written and arranged beautifully but it's extremely simple and like Joe said, it's not like the lyrics are spectacular. It is a great vocal performance and an awesome radio song - overall an awesome song to see doing so well - but yeah, not that great and Glee didn't make it any better. Oh well at least they aren't trying to cover Springsteen anymore.

so are they gay...or are they brothers?
gay brothers?

No. He's got a fantastic voice.

I didn't think the cover was that bad. I would have been more upset about the American Idol cover though.

Love this song.

it's the male version of tegan and sara

So they are brothers? I never watch glee so can someone inform me if they do this sort of thing often with songs? I guess if you didn't think too hard about it, the song could work for a brother battle but I would rather not defend this.

the cover isn't horrible or surprising for what glee is (I have friends who play the soundtracks constantly). so kudos to the product being just as lackluster as all the others I have heard, I guess they saw no need to raise the bar.

I recorded a cover of this song myself today. Strange.

I was singing this song in the shower today.
Strange.

Don't really care about that song and fuck Glee, but this song of his is brilliant imo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le34ygtODfI. Touches upon a rare subject, the loss of a loved animal.

fuckstick you forgot about this one....it doesn't get enough attention. plus the chick is cute.

yes indeed

had to be said

Man, there are so many people I want to quote in here. I digress...

that fellow tends to be rather opinionated and brash, as I can be at times on this website at times, but i'll agree with the fact that glee sucks ass.

regardless of the lyrics and being very simple one can't argue its chorus is probably one of the most infectious choruses in awhile

I'm not really a fan of Glee, but I honestly didn't think it was that bad.

i dont think gotye has to be grateful.. glee wouldnt exist if musicians like gotye and others didnt let them use their songs. glee's success stems almost entirely from other people's work.

Not a big fan of this song and definitely not one of Glee, but I would like to point out that Gotye doesn't own the rights to their own music; their label does. While this is most likely bringing in some money, it's all through the label.

Infectious maybe, but I find that melody far more annoying than pleasant.

Oh.

hilarious. loved that part of the movie

true dat. i only found out who this guy was a week ago and i still dont know how that song has 175 million views on youtube

wish more people would come out & bitch about how glee ruined their songs. pretty entertaining

I wish people would realize they recorded all of those parts separately from each other then filmed it to make it look like they were playing it live.

He must be pissed at the radio edit, same vocals...shitty pop instrumental rearrangement.

Complete bullshit.

The lyrics aren't great, but I'm not sure we should compare them to something a 20-year-old college girl would write. You could have just said a 20-year-old, the girl part was a bit much. It's like you're saying that women are inferior song writers.

Where is the radio edit? YouTube? Why'd they bother. Song only goes for 4mins. How much ADD do they think people have these days

Even im pissed they made one.


Song still gives me tingles after all these months. So does Hearts a Mess from the last albun

She's the singer for The Creepshow. Pretty good band, but I think I like the stuff she does here even better. Their Karma Police cover is just awesome.

It's not really a radio edit as much as it is an edit to appeal to a wider audience. My local top 40 station does this with all the songs I bother to listen to. They even messed up Rolling in the Deep.

haha yeah I hate it too

he isn't alone in thinking this.

I think it's "The Creepshow" the band that she's in, but I could be wrong.

Gotye is entitled to his opinion on his own song and the covers/remixes associated with it. I like that he's being honest and I like that he's defending his break out single.

the part i don't like is when i start to hear twinkle twinkle little star....yaknowwhatimean?

Yeah that's not what I said at all.

Lol. The song has been top ten/number one in many countries for quite some time before this show touched it.

Was I the only one who was getting a tinge of Marianas Trench from that version?

I'm not really a fan of the original...or Glee...but that version was tolerable.

Don't even bother with him, he's stupid.

Look up Gotye talks about STIUTK at splendour, or something like that and he details the recording of the song. And he says he sampled twinkle and changed a few notes. Really interesting video

Yeah it went no1 in a dozen other countries about 9months ago, so I don't think he really needs to be grateful to Glee very much. He prob did them as much as a favour as they did to him

i dont see how it is that bad?

It's not. It's just really cool to hate Glee.

I liked Glee's version a lot, but there are two things about it I knew going in:

1- I really do enjoy the show a great deal, and could be biased a bit (although I'm the first to call out a song that Glee does I don't like). So a person who hates the show and the concept of it would be the first to hate on a video they saw, calling it auto-tune, which is true.
2- I knew exactly what to expect with the arrangement. The show rarely deviates from the original music with different tunes.
