I first heard this song on the excellent CBC Radio 2 Drive and thought they said it was by Gauthier – so of course I thought it must be someone from Rustico, or Rusticoville, or at least North Rustico. But, no, it’s some Aussie guy named Wally De Backer who chose the name Gotye (pronounced go-tyey). It’s a weird little song that’s not typically my style but it gets progressively better until you find yourself singing it out loud. Fair warning, you’ll have this stuck in your head for a day and a half.
First of all, I have great faith in your taste in music and I thought the title sounded familiar. So I played the video and then I remembered hearing this song a couple of weeks ago and having it stuck in my head for two days. Very catchy.
Told ya!
