"Confuse-a-long" : Gotye- Somebody I Used to Know

 This song sounds like it was plucked straight out of the 80s to me, and it has a video to match.. This Kimbra, looks and sounds like Katy Perry.  I like the beat.  It really makes me want to do the mash potatoe, or just snap my fingers and  dance like I am on Scooby Doo. The song is sung at somewhat of a whisper, so I can't understand any of the words.  So, when it comes on the radio it goes a little bit something like this:  (Me): No you didn't have to stoop so low 
have your ummmm dmmmm ummm,
change your ummmm ummm, 
I don't dooo dooo doooooo...
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody!

 It has reached # 1 in just about every country in the world, and it is not hard to see why. Just listen to it. Read the lyrics, too 


Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company


But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing

I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me
But had me believin it was always something that I'd
Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to
 know-oh-oh

But you didn't have cut me off

Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh)
 I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
and that feels so rough
(oh)

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect you records
And then change your number (oh)
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
 Somebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know) That I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
