I really liked the song a few weeks back when I first heard it.
Although it has been so over played I've lost interest a bit.

They seem to be pronouncing him as Gautier rather than like the famous Sun headline, Gotcha!
I'll give him credit, it's different and not as bad as most things in the charts; at least it's not a rehash/rip off/cover of an earlier song, though I can't help singing along to the plinky-plonky bit with 'Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool'.

Can't sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" any more, apparently the PC Brigade reckon it's offensive to black sheep! 
Show me a sheep who even cares!

You don't still believe that story do you? It was fabricated by The Star in 1986, and re-printed by a deluge of other papers (Sun, Mail, etc) afterwards, and then regurgitated by The Mail in 1999 and 2003, and on no occasion did any of it have any foundation of truth.
It was just another example of an urban myth story which people love to believe because it allows them to point fingers at 'the loony left'

I'm more glad the song brought much deserved attention to the hugely talented Kimbra.
This performance is simply gorgeous. I love her.

From the moment I first heard this song it got me. His voice in the chorus reminds me so much of Peter Gabriel on the 'So' album - fabulous vocals. It's brilliant to hear quality in the charts once again, as opposed to the soulless commercial garbage we are constantly fed. Well done Gotye, you got me.

I quite liked him first time around when he was called Peter Gabriel. He seems to be a bit crap now, sampling baa baa black sheep.
