Gotye

When your favorite song becomes so popular that it becomes everyone else's favorite song, it's usually no longer yours. It's a fairly common occurrence in pop culture.

The current golden boy of the music industry goes by the name Gotye when he's onstage, but he wasn't born with the one-word nickname.

If you haven't heard Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know,' there's a good chance you're living under a rock. The song has been everywhere in 2012, and now we're about to get some (OK, a lot of) variations on one of the year's most played tracks.
