GodTye shades Glee's cover of Somebody That I Used to Know



Australian singer Gotye says he is getting used to fame after his song, "Somebody That I Used to Know," rocketed to the top of the US charts.

But Gotye -- real name Wally de Backer, from Melbourne -- has revealed some of the fame fallout has frustrated him.

While the version from TV hit "Glee" gave the song a huge boost, Gotye has mixed feelings about the rendition.

"They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals, but the vocals were that pop 'Glee' style. It made it sound dinky and wrong."


Glee gave the song a huge boost, but Gotye has mixed feelings about the version.

"They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals but the vocals were that pop Glee style, ultra dry, sounded pretty tuned and the rock has no real sense, like it's playing to you from a cardboard box,'' he said.
