Glee covers Gotye

Melbourne-based Independent artist gets the Glee treatment on "Somebody That I Used To Know". Minor Spoilers.

Glee will cover Gotye’s hit “Somebody That I Used To Know” in it’s episode airing in Australia next week.

This isn’t the first time Glee has covered an Australian artist (Olivia got Physical…. I think they’ve done Air Supply… maybe Rick Springfield?) but it must be the first time an indie artist gets the treatment. And a contemporary hit rather than a flashback.

The song by Melbourne-based Gotye, featuring Kimbra, has been a huge hit in Australia, the UK and the US.

In Glee it will be sung by Darren Criss, click on the clip as long as you don’t mind being Spoiled.

  1. Actually, #3 on Billboard this week and still top of the World Music Charts.

    142 million youtube hits.

    $$$$$$$$$

    This is one of those songs where you hear it once and go, meh, hear it again and start bopping your head and then hear it again and you’re screaming Somebodyyy like a crazy person, lol.

    Grammy nom wouldn’t be unsurprising Song/Record of the Year.

  2. And Gotye still climbing the US charts with this track at number 4 this week on the Billboard chart after hitting number 1 in the UK and all over Europe.

  3. This version is ok – nowhere near the power and strength of the original, but not bad by any means

    If you want a truly horrendous version of this song, type “Lindsay Paveo NBC The Voice” onto youtube and see her cover of the song. It’s like nails on a chalkboard
