Gotye or Walk Off the Earth

[N.J.THer]

I usually don't really get into any of the top 40 stuff but I will listen to it in the car between books on CD. I really like the song by Gotye called 'Somebody That I Used to Know'. Sounds a little like Sting and the girl, Kimbra, has a great voice. I looked up the song on YouTube and saw a band called 'Walk Off the Earth' did a cover of the song. There are five poeple that all play one guitar. The talent there just blew me away. Now I'm not sure if I like the original or the cover more...what do you think??

wow, I know and loved the original.. Yes, he does sound like Sting too.

As for that second group, Walk The Earth, never heard of them, but what talent.

I'd have to flip a coin to decide which is better

There is also a version that has both dubbed in together... WOW.....

I did not see the dubbed version before...very cool. That in itself took some talent to put together. The day I saw WOTE version of this song I spend at least an hour wathcing their other YouTube videos. I don't really care for their original stuff too much but the covers are amazing. I love how they use items that are not musical instruments to add to the songs. The also seem to have production money as of late. They did a cover of Tiny Boxes the theme song to Showtime's 'Weeds' (which I love - show not song) and it was very good and creative.



I'm sure when the new season starts in July that this video will open one of the episodes.

Thanks for sharing.
