Somebody That I Used To Know

About a month ago, I saw this awesome video via twitter. I love that you only get eye contact from the people singing or about to sing.  The video is the band Walk Off The Earth covering the song "Somebody That I Used To Know" written by Goyte featuring Kimbra.  This week, the original hit heavy rotation on radio. (hats off to twitter, which consistently brings things to my attention before they hit mainstream attention). Here's the original: Although, I like the dramatic effects of the Walk Off The Earth video, Kimbra's voice is the more arresting. Especially when she sings the line "somebody that I *used* to know!" Chills.  Of course, this has to be followed by a parody video:

We discovered this song about 3 days before it started playing on the radio and we love it! My 8yo's and I will sit in the car in the driveway until it finishes.
