A new video of comparing the Gotye and Walk Off The Earth versions of ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ popped up overnight on YouTube and the similarities are identical.
The Walk Off The Earth version is pretty much exactly in synch to the Gotye and Kimbra version.
In the Walk Off The Earth version the Sarah Blackwood vocal starts at exactly the same time the Kimbra version hits the Gotye version.
Played over the top of each other Walk Off The Earth’s version is perfectly aligned with the Gotye original. Both songs go for exactly 4 minutes and 08 seconds.
The Gotye ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ has now clocked up over 37 million views on YouTube. The song was number one for the second week in a row in Germany this week.
The Walk Off The Earth version has been a viral smash. In just five days it has generated 11,605,0003 views. Over 1.5 million of those were in the past 24 hours.
