Can someone explain what is the appeal of this song? I've listened to it several times and still consider it a hardly 4/10.
it's catchy, kimbra has a very good voice and he kinda sounds like sting, it's also a good breakup song, much more original than people give it credit for
6/10
>>64068776
She looks like giraf
You're a few years late pal
>>64068776
It's a 10/10 if you've ever been in a relationship that went sour before. You probably just can't relate.
>>64068776
I love it, though I hate how radio stations in the US only play the "clubbed up" version of it.
Gotye's a decent pop artist.
is this song about being "ghosted"?
>>64068776
I heard this song once, i has just split up with my ex. This song helped me through a very dark time in my life. i have since found a new goat to love and my ex was sold to cheese farmer. I truly wish her the best.
It's a song for women and effeminate boys.
>>64068876
I can relate. The song sucks ass.
what year is this?
>>64068932
settle down mike
>>64068932
literally the current year and people like >>64068924 make fun of non binary people, women and metrosexuals

>you get break up songs but you don't "get" break up songs
it's a good one though, it being played all the time made me just about go insane but it obviously got a lot of play for a reason.
>>64068776
>listened several times
>4/10
choose one.
>>64068924
>my death metal music makes me really masculine
Fucking faggot.

I doubt there is anyone who likes this song that I couldn't easily win against in a fight. It's watered down indie hipster swill that is mostly enjoyed by women.
>>64069092
loosen up lad
>>64069092
Are you for real, dude?
Literally anyone could beat you up. You're a fucking /mu/tant. You argue about pop songs on the internet.
>>64069092
case in point
>>64069104
Round up the people who like this song, take away their smart phones, and then bludgeon them to death. Would be the easier than massacring children.
>>64069092
I SOLVE PROBLEM WITH FIGHT
>>64069092
You sound insecure as fuck, bro.
would fuck in the ass, then throw off a bridge/10, tbqh
>>64069185
jokes on u I have a black belt in aikido (the deadlies martial art) and i own 4 katans, no need to say I'm not afraid to use them to fuck your shit up
>>64068776
Walk Off The Earth version is 10x times better, familia.
>>64069092
can one get banned for being mentally underage?
>>64069134
I'm not arguing. This song sucks.
>>64069145
See, look down on the use of violence all you want, but a good punch in the face would fix your haughty "oh my, case in point" cunt attitude.
>>64069191
Yes, how barbaric. Mhmmm. I'd rather solve problems with music and art.
>>64069185
You couldn't round up anything you pencil-necked doofus.
what a shitty elliott smith cover
>>64069267
>but a good punch in the face would fix your haughty "oh my, case in point" cunt attitude.
Only because by the time you've mustered up the courage to try and swing that little skinny thing you call an arm and completely miss the person's face they'd be laughing too hard to say anything at all.
>>64069267
ssh baby go listen to your death metal and calm down, k?
>>64068776
what the fuck i'm listenign to this song right now
i don't really like it that much but i just fancied listening
WHAT THE FUCK
>>64069222
You have to buy me dinner first.
>>64069249
Might as well remove this board. Let me guess though, you're underage but mentally mature. You've been in a relationship that fell apart. You know the score. Gotye speaks to you.
>>64068776
>>64069092
>>64069267
it's because music is subjective and it has what many people consider a catchy chorus and thus enjoy listening to it
or at least they used to, I don't think they still do
Kimbra was hot

>pencil-necked doofus
Please. I look like the guy in OP's pic. I'm very masculine and could rip you to shreds.
>>64069305
But what if I critiqued you in a clever indie pop song and you related to it? You would fall to dust and then I'd kick the dust.
>>64069308
>oh my gawd, he doesn't listen to Gotye
>he must like angry stupid music that is completely barbaric
>>64069350
Why are you quoting me? The song sucks and is cherished by nimble asexual men.
lmao what is your problem with gotye
do you not realise how you're coming over? you seem unbelievably insecure
I think the part that Kimbra sings. Rest of it sucks.
>>64069590
>what is your problem with gotye
He is effeminate, inoffensive, soft, hip, and he should be ground to dust on live television.
>>64069690
I like the way Kimbra looks. Everything else associated with the song sucks. Kimbra likes it rough though.
It's genuinely catchy, nice sounding pop song
Compared to normal radio fare it's pretty good
>>64068776
Technically it is a brilliant pop song. Contrapuntally sound and the lyrics fit so well and they're 'genuine'
>>64068776
Song is too quiet for me
I prefer Adam Levine's cover
>>64070199
Yeah, my girlfriend said something similar. Then I fucked her in the pussy.
Give the Mayday parade version a try I think that one's better!
>assuming a song that isn't even from a highly rated band is appealing
good prog pop
>>64070539
It's a well crafted pop song that lots of people can relate to. Plus it sounded different from anything on Top 40 radio at the time. I have to wonder if Gotye will ever have another hit tho. Seems like he shot his wad with this one. Sort of like how Hozier will probably never get another hit.
It's a very comfy song
I hope he releases another album
I liked it because it sounded a bit like in the air tonight
>>64068989
Pleb spotted
>>64068776
The appeal of Gotye is that he's a quite capable producer who has the ability to make a number of good hits. Despite this, the general populace lacks any sort of decent taste, thusly one of his worst songs is his most famous song, and he'll probably never have another one.
tl;dr
give the masses a good musician, and they'll gladly eat shit over anything of value
It sounded like baa baa black sheep to me so I couldn't take it seriously.
>>64068776
The simple melody is ubiquitous in children's nursery rhymes, from twinkle twinkle little star to bah bah black sheep. There's this thing called the 'mere-exposure effect' which suggests it's an objectively appealing song to people with a standard upbringing in an English speaking culture.
The only reason I can think of that you would say it is unappealing, beside you being raised as a feral child by pack animals, is that you're a hipster fuckwit who needs to hate anything popular.
Unoriginal? Maybe. Unappealing? Get an informed opinion instead of a contrarian one for the sake of fashion.
This guy is the definition of one hit wonder. Is any of his other stuff worth checking out?
>>64071548
I liked Eyes Wide Open and Hearts A Mess for singles but haven't listened to his albums much.
It's just a random one-hit-wonder from several years ago. Why do you care so much?
>>64068924
>It's a song for women and effeminate boys.
Why do you even visit /mu/? Literally all of /mu/-core fits that catagory
I used to wank to this big tit azn tranny and she would have this song in the background
never really payed attention to the song until it started reminding me of the trannie's big tidders

One off
Gavin Mcinnes tears this song a new ass. He made a whole video about it.
Calls Gotye a pussy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRxHvZ_pR4w
holy shit people are actually defending this song lmao
>>64073449
based Gavin
Here's what they sampled.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpYsxwD4Uc0
>>64073449
Wow, way to miss the point of the song completely. I mean, McGinnes has always been a retard, but this is taking it to a new leve.
>>64069390
classic
The album it's from, 'Making Mirrors' is a solid 7/10 desu.
>>64076069
What point did he miss?
>>64068924
Wow, so many faggots mad that they got called out for acting out like girls. You're right about the song.
Has a nice warm fun melancholy rhythm to it, vocals are good and manage not to come off as whiny, but most importantly... the lyrics are ridiculously easy to connect with
You can go on /r9k/ and find people to connect with it. People like to make things theirs
>not posting best version

The thing that made me like it was the bridge by Kimbra. Lyrically, I thought it was cool for a breakup song to have the other perspective. That's pretty uncommon in radiopop
