In July 2011, Gotye released “Somebody That I Used To Know” expecting a successful yet normal release. Instead, he accidentally created one of the most successful songs ever posted to YouTube. But with over 2 billion views attributed to a previously unknown artist, such fame and success was bound to come with a range of frustrating downsides.
This is, How “Somebody That I Used To Know” Ruined Gotye’s Life.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2
Also, the idea for this video was inspired by “Middle 8” who posted a video on a similar topic in June 2020 titled “How GOTYE Created A Song We Used To Know” You can watch their version here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nej-5GhPqtw

Get a life
Medieval covers are best in my opinion!
10:03 I still remember those top comments lmao
This is a really nice video Sunny. I really enjoyed it. Very eye opening personally.
Believe it or not, I am just learning of this song here now in 2024. When I come to understand just how popular it was in 2011/2012 I wonder how in the world I missed it back then or since then? Never heard of it or this singer before.
This video is trying so hard to drum up some drama with its music and tone while you can see the guy is actually always chill af.
that was good song
SunnyV2: FUTCHAAAAHHHHH
Everyone else: future
i remember hearing this song on the radio when i was a toddler living in alaska
bllsht, he could've ignored them but he wanted that juicy attention check.
i was born in the right generation
This man became famous then became somebody that we used to know
People enjoy things but don’t be loyal to a song maybe these break up songs aren’t only about love
If you’re interested, I think a video on the fall of Trap Nation would be good. The channel has over 30M subscribers and can barely reach 100K views on their regular uploads. Their fans beg them to change but they blatantly ignore it entirely and shoutout the very few that enjoy their songs. Just a thought but could be a good idea.
1:35 the 23 dislikes didn't know what they were talking about
After 2001, most music went downhill and that is an objective fact. This song is included in that. It pales in comparison to the average band of the 70's. People were simply more interested in music back then, everyone played guitar and hung out and played music. That part of our culture died when streaming took the paycheck away from musicians.
Everyone wants fame until they get it.
"I didnt want to be infinitely wealthy"
man…. this video shouldnt be so long
Gotye seems like the best, most straightforward guy. He’s definitely the only celebrity that doesn’t ramble on about Luxury Living or social media- Mad respect for this guy.
It’s always pissed me off that the whole album didn’t get the credit it deserved. Gotye is really a musical genius in my eyes.
that was one of the rare example of real music in the last few decades
He's an amazing guy.
This reminds me of the guy who created flappy bird, removed it from the app store, and just went into the shadows
I’ll never get sick of this amazing song.
Ngl seeing someone else call someone a brick has made my day
Dude literally has to never make a hit like that again, I’m sure he has a loyal fan base that will follow him forever and the people who will always remember him and check him out. It’s honestly the perfect place to be as an artist.
TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE WITHOUT KNOWLEDE IS SUICIDE!
I kinda wondaaaarrrr if the narrataaaaarrrr speaks like this in outside speaking on videoooosaaaaa. Does anyone here knowaaaaaaaa?
I don't know why but the sound buildup at 1:28 made me so uncomfortable😅
