Walk Off The Earth (Gotye's Cover) Somebody that I used to know, Congrats!

Chris Lago · 17th January 2012

I am so happy for these guys. They were an unknown local act from where I live (in Burlington, On, Canada) and my gf knows the female singer, kept bugging me to check their music out before they went viral. The song currently has 24 million views in just a week (it's no 2 on Itunes Canada)! They released it on Jan 5th. Now they're going to perform on Good Morning America and Ellen Degeneres next Monday (23rd). As a fellow local artist, they truly are an inspiration to me and I wish them the best of luck.

I bet Gotye is gutted you don't receive any revenue for youtube plays!! All good exposure though I guess. I bet he sold a few singles/albums as a result.

Great song and an equally great cover.
