What Sting song does the chorus from Gotye sound identical to?
 

I am certain the chorus to the above Gotye song, singing 'Somebody that I used to know' sounds absolutely identical to another song, possibly Sting, or a similar artist, but one particular song in general - does anyone know which song I might be thinking about? Thanks

An englishmen in New York?

thats it, pretty obvious I guess if I just googled up his hits-I couldnt remember.. I think its stretched out words of 'neeeeeeewwwwww yorrrrrk' and 'ussssssedddd to knowww' that I must have been comparing, unless theres an area of the same track thats even more similar :) thanks

That song is spreading like a wild fire.

I don't know, I mean most of where Sting sings is up in that area. There are parts of Money for Nothing that I could see fitting. I hear some Walking on the Moon, or even Roxanne.

He's got a strong Peter Gabriel vibe too.

This song spread like wild fire over here about a year ago... get on Gotye, latecomers!

I can definitely see where you get the Sting angle from but the song it initially reminded me of was, A Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins. It was a one hit wonder from the Empire Records soundtrack back in the 90s.

The answer is....

Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool?

;)

Sting sings that?

Are you his child?

Fiction Plane sucked, man.

I like fiction plane...
