I love the original Gotye version, too ... maybe the best song Sting never wrote! Sometimes I play it on solo piano gigs ... really nice tune, and a well deserved Grammy.

I know what you mean though, if it wasn’t for having a teen who is really into music, I’d have no idea about him at all. Reminds me of Bon Iver a bit. Just when I feel like giving up on anyone actually pushing the edges of popular music these days, these guys restore my faith a bit by moving it down the road a bit. It may not be this old geezer’s cup of tea all the time, but it sure beats the pablum that tries to pass for music these days. As a side note, gotta say I was blown away by Bon Iver over the summer at the Bank Boston Pavilion. Completely unique sound.

The are literally hundreds of youtube videos of ths tune. Exposure in the US? You are kidding, right? The first 100 times I heard the song it was enjoyable. The last 400 times have been rough.
