Everybody seems to be talking about the Gotye song "Somebody That I Used To Know," but what you might not realize is that the video has inspired literally dozens upon dozens upon dozens of covers. We can create a sign in Times Square that updates the number of covers of this song every minute.
There seems to be a new cover version of this song created daily. It sort of reproduces like a heartbreaking virus. In fact, by the time I've finished writing this list, a few more will have just been created. A few more people publicly expressed how sad they feel over love.
I've spent countless hours thinking about all the times I’ve been screwed over by YouTube and compiled a list of the "best" Gotye covers. Of course, the criteria I've used is rather objective in terms of what made me smile. Also, please keep in mind this list is by no means authoritative. I love the song but do feel we might be reaching the maximum number of covers that our society can truly sustain.
