Somebodies That You Tube Knows

As you know, we're only trying to do something different here at Altrok 90.5 HD2, and occasionally - quite rarely, (and by design, in fact) - something we play becomes a MASSIVE HIT. I can't say I predicted it for Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know", but I can honestly say that even though it became THE song on the radio for the early part of this summer, I still think it's pretty much a work of genius.

Of course, whenever anything becomes a hit, lots of people put up videos of themselves singing the hit record, or playing it on some instrument as a way of showing people how to play it, or interpreting it in some way, or parodying it, or what have you.

And now Gotye has returned the favor (for he apparently understands that these videos are, in fact, a favor, and not Copyright Infringements That Must Be Eradicated From The Internet) by cobbling together a whole new interpretation of the song out of the various reinterpretations he's found on the 'Net.

Feast yer squinties here:

You may be happy to know we're not playing the song as much as we used to - but actually, they never did send us the entire album...
