Gotye remade “somebody that i used to know”
The video for Gotye’s remake of ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ is one of the most popular music videos of the year. The video was inspired by the artwork of Frank de Backer, Gotye’s father. The artwork depicts a relationship between the singer and his girlfriend Kimbra. The video is currently nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards.
The song ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ is a mid-tempo ballad which samples an instrumental track by Luiz Bonfa from his 1967 album ‘Seville’. The song was critically acclaimed and received many comparisons to artists such as Sting, Peter Gabriel and American folk rock band Bon Iver. The video subsequently went on to win several awards, including best video, best song and best producer.
George Lucas’ treatment of the series
George Lucas created the Star Wars series, including episodes 1 through six. Unfortunately, he did not finish the series. While he was a significant figure for many Star Wars fans, he stepped away from the franchise in order to focus on his visual arts museum and the upcoming movie The Last Jedi. Despite these reasons, fans are still clamoring for him to get back in the driver’s seat and continue the series.
Many critics of the Prequel Trilogy have criticized George Lucas’ direction. This is largely because his wife, Marcia Lucas, was a crucial visionary during the initial development of the series. Unlike other filmmakers, Lucas had the benefit of her input, which enabled her to give constructive criticism to her husband’s vision for the series. Although George Lucas’ treatment of the Star Wars series has received much criticism, it remains a popular movie and remains one of the best-selling films of all time.
The fanbase of the Star Wars series is more divided than it has ever been, with many fans questioning whether George Lucas’ approach to the series would have been better received. The prequel trilogy received a virulent response from fans and Lucas was hesitant to make the sequels. Despite his apprehension, he has stated that if people were yelling at him and calling him a terrible person, he wouldn’t do so.
Gnarls Barkley’s performance of “somebody that i used to know”
The iconic torch song is the staple of a summer concert and the perfect accompaniment to a summer night at the beach. Traditionally, torch songs lament a lost love, a forgotten mind, or a broken relationship. On Gnarls Barkley’s version, the song reflects a more modern view of the same sentiment. The duo features rising singers Casey Abrams and Hannah Gill. In Scott’s take, the song loses much of the looney tunes glee of the original, but maintains the same universal appeal.
The song reached #1 on multiple charts, including the UK Billboard Hot 100 and the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. It also achieved number one in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Belgian and Dutch Megacharts. It has been ranked Number 1 in 46 countries. Its celebrity endorsements have contributed to its success. Getye’s music video was also a hit, reaching over 1.7 billion views on YouTube as of August 2021.
