Just New Productions have released a parody of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" entitled "Obama That I Used to Know."
Get ready to either laugh or be offended.
Whether you love the songs or hate the songs — or love one and find the other somewhat annoying, as some of us do — Gotye‘s ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ and teen star Carly Rae Jepsen‘s ‘Call Me Maybe’ are two of the biggest, most ubiquitous and most unavoidable hits of 2012. So, what happens when two such massively successful songs become one?
Gotye‘s dissatisfaction with the ‘Glee’ cover of ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ may have been blown out of proportion. The singer said at a private performance on Monday that the media misinterpreted his remarks and he actually believes the show’s remake was “clever.”
Remember how Gotye called the ‘Glee‘ cover of his hit song “dinky?” The Australian singer-songwriter is backpedaling rather quickly from his comments, even throwing in some self deprecating remarks for good measure. What does the ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ singer have to say now?
Gotye and Kimbra appeared on ‘Saturday Night Live’ on April 14 to offer audiences a live rendition of their hauntingly good single, ‘Somebody That I Used to Know,’ and fans are still buzzing about it.
You probably wouldn’t recognize him if you passed him on the street — and chances are you don’t know how to pronounce his stage name — but Wally De Backer, a.k.a. Gotye, is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet right now, thanks to his smash hit ‘Somebody That I Used to Know.’ Curious about the man behind the song? So was the Village Voice, so they went to the source for an in-depth interview
I love the new song by Gotye Somebody That I Used To Know and it's getting the Glee treatment coming up April 10th! We got a hold of the video early! Check it out here!
