This is the story of a little-known Australian singer whose single went viral and was--and continues to be-- emulated countless times by artists around the world.
This is also the story of a girl in the U.S. who happens to be a little bit obsessed with her latest music discovery.
Gotye's lyrics are haunting and I love how much he sounds like Sting (See 1:30, am I right or what?). And the whole cubist painting thing is weirdly working for my inner Picasso lover.

Pentatonix, the recent winners of The Voice, made a sick cover:
I probably would have voted for them over my homeboys in Vocal Point, not going to lie.
This is the first version I ever heard. Five people playing a guitar. What? The vocals are good, too.
Ingrid Michaelson caught on to it. I didn't know she was such a hipster!
I like this duo. They rev it up with some electric guitar and the kick is nice.
This guy's guitar gives it a John Mayer vibe.
Something else that I learned? Gotye, pronounced "Gaw-tee-ay" is a phonetic variant of the French translation of the name Walter. Love it :).
