What I didn’t realize until this year was Gotye was using a sample from ‘67 too:

There should be a sub-classification of One Hit Wonders called One Hit Wonders Whose Name You Wouldn't Even Know Were It Not For Someone Else's Hook Who Probably Made Far Less Money Off It Than This Simpleton

Surely it's "Baa baa black sheep"?

Aye, tis an auld tune, well-remember'd of an independent bard, back upon the days of yore. Ne'r methinks hath mine soul felt so aged.

I had the EXACTLY same thought. Eeeek

Especially since gotye’s music is already one massive set of samples.

Now it's just some song that I used to know...

I still do know it, but I used to too.

Is somebody reading this? Or just my anxiety?

Ground control to my old friend: "engaging silence, darkness on"

Silence will fall

And I'll be somebody that you used to know.

Unless you nor me on your hand.

I beat her at a 4Os musical sing along . I interceded two tournaments when she was singing Anderson sisters. She couldn’t remember the words l

Somebody younger than me was joking about how The Pitt's popularity means we're all watching 'mom TV' and I was like 'I'll have you know that in the 90s young cool people dug ER. . .wait...'

Gotye sampled a bunch of different songs to get that rhythm. Here's a breakdown:

Gotye sampled that track. His song was so full of samples he barely made any real money from it.

ckbk.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s just a single that you used to know

matmills73.bsky.social•6 days ago

Didn’t that song come out in like 2020

It was 6 months ago, shhhhh.

eclectictastessa.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, the people close to me know to mention the ages of things around me at their own peril. Phrases like "A while back" and "a few years ago" see a lot of use in my vicinity.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" contains samples of "Seville" by Luiz Bonfá, "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" by Traditional Folk, "Flute" by Mellotron and others…

How very rude of him.

surferdave13.bsky.social•6 days ago

lol. He’s now been remixed for about 3 years just to make you feel even older.

GOATye

robeleader.bsky.social•6 days ago

Guess you don't need that though,
It's a song that you used to know.

sdzdc.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah it really drives home for me that when I was a kid and hearing puff say “we take take hits form the 80s but do it sound so crazy” he was talking about songs that were only 7 -10 years old, which seemed like a long time to 12 year old me
