This is so perfectly tortured, it sounds like it's from a lost John Hughes movie. Brooklyn duo Tanlines have a knack for making music that feels like dust fluttering in 3 pm sunshine beaming through giant library windows. As much as this is Gotye's song, Tanlines' takeover of it sounds like a sequel to the excellent closer of their debut album Mixed Emotions, "Nonesuch."

Inspired by Kutiman's innovative YouTube video remix project "ThruYou," Wally De Backer — better known to music listeners as Gotye — decided to submit his own contribution to the "mountain of interpretations of" his phenomenally successful hit single "Somebody That I Used to Know" by taking advantage of "the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered."

Twee indie duo Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn — AKA Pomplamoose — have apparently resolved to lay waste to the World Wide Web and bring an end to civilization as we know it.

Kyle Kaplan and Nick Braun, best known as Michael Bernstein and Cameron Jones of the short-lived ABC Family sitcom 10 Things I Hate About You, star as every single person on Earth when Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" suddenly comes on the radio.

Just when you thought it was safe to stop looking at covers of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," another cover comes along that demands to be viewed.

On next week's Billboard Hot 100, dated June 23, Carly Rae Jepsen's diabolical ear candy "Call Me Maybe" at last assumes the No. 1 position. The song was practically preordained as the song of the summer, and wouldn't you know, it happens hit No. 1 on the first chart of summer proper. Everything is going according to the universe's plan.

Spitting grammar lessons over Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," fast-rapping George Watsky-rival David McCleary "Mac Lethal" Sheldon — also known as the guy behind (and possibly in front of) Texts from Bennett — sets the record straight on the difference between "your" and "you're" once and for all.

Two prepubescent pals — the uploader's goddaughter and her best friend — love lip-syncing along to Gotye and Kimbra's "Somebody That I Used to Know."

With the presidential race now narrowed down to just two runners, the folks at Bad Lip Reading have decided to turn their attention elsewhere. Namely: Gotye and Kimbra's carnivorous earworm "Somebody That I Used To Know."
