Song of the Day - Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye, featuring Kimbra

I just recently published The Top 20 Pop Songs of 2012 on Yahoo Voices and here's a breakout hit that came in at #2 on my list. As with many other songs this and every year, this one was played to death, making us all sick of it eventually, but since it's been so long, I think it's time for another listen.

Here's what I said about the song:

The combination of lyrics many can relate to and a smooth, beatnik groove made this one a powerful radio force all over the world, and countless remixes and covers of the song have gotten great airplay, as well.
