  • Making hand puppets cool. One Gotye at a time.

  • He loves John Barry just like me! All of you who do not know...look up John Barry's Tribute on you tube and LISTEN TO IT!

  • Love Gotye, his music, everything, but this video is a bunch of mediocre shadow puppets lol sorry:)

  • yeah .. no wonder wally didnt want this .. this is not good .. feels repetitive and very bland !

  • pauze on:2.50

  • WOW!! OMG!! Its's FREAKING AWESOME!!! :D I can't believe it's not used! In fact .. I'm amazed that it hasn't been snapped up by an advertising agency or maybe a TV network.. It's deserves to be aired on a regular basis, to fully appreciate it's complexity! I love it so much! It is an exceptional piece of work!! I hope someone who appreciate's art , makes you an offer that reflects it's worth....and show everyone what a huge mistake it was, not to use it! YEAH! :D hehe! <3 LOVE IT MAN!!! <3

  • Great job!!! I loved every second.

  • Nobel Prize for this artist!

  • @redwater12 and I meant for the lyrical, visual, philosophical, and musical artisanship

  • @redwater12...on the entire album's works

  • Do you want to here I am not moving because I am not.

  • Go-tee-yay

  • I want you WALLY!

  • How can you say that theres no relation of the hands to the song? The 2 finger dudes dancing are dancing to the beat...even the tango at the end

  • I have been so deeply unimpressed with music for years... yes, I discovered this guy because of the Walk Off the Earth cover... so I'm a latecomer to the party... but he is AMAZING. Albums = bought.

  • That was unbelievable! You have an amazing talent and gift, please continue your expression!! Wow!!! Thanks for sharing.....XO

  • gotye is right about this particular video, IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!! its just like showing what you can do with your hands without giving any sens to lyrics or to the music. absolutely of no interest. the concept might be interesting if it is worked the right way.

  • ARMS..........................­..♥

    

  • great video :-)

  • Song that I would listen to on youtube. Yes.

    Song that I would listen to in my car. NO.

  • Great art, hands and song.

  • I think that I just found my very next MUSICAL investment ...... this artist is going to be on a loop absoutely everywhere for some time yet!!!!!!!

  • I only discovered him last week.... not too late though

  • way to turn a breakup into fucking....awesome....art

  • 0:52 Elephant moose!

  • Hypnotising music and his voice...I just still listen sounds... Sounds bounce me still - not once... :)

  • cool :)

  • So hypnotising....

  • i regret that i just found out about gotye in the last two weeks.

  • genial!

  • is this the original music vid ????

  • has anyone seen my pencil? it is green with a red eraser.

  • 360p like a boss.

  • i tried to make at least 3 of these shapes, thumbs up if you did the same

  • It's so fucking crazy that you just need to love that.

  • Na co ja pacze?

  • im sorry to all the people i offended with my antilingual comment. truly sorry.

  • Now that's an Austin Powers song.

  • Nice work. ^^

  • How do you say "Gotye" - is it go-tee or got- ye ??

  • @tball3748 its goat-yay

  • @gusey97 of course, the only language worth speaking right? you twat.

  • Tu tez jestesmy :D

  • What the hell did I just watch?

  • @gusey97 You sir, are the douchebag

  • @gusey97 Did you by any chance mean English? You douchebag..

  • Mam 14 lat a moje koleżanki słuchają Johnas Brothers czy jak to się tam pisze i innych dennych "piosenkarzy". Ja tam słucham mi.n Dżemu, Happysad, Coma czy Strachy na Lachy. co do utworu :Gotye ma świetne piosenki, w szczególności "Somebody that i used to know" i tą. Bez nich nie umiem zasnąć! Taka prawda... ;D

  • @Klawiatura98

    będą z Ciebie ludzie :D

  • achtet mal auf den beat im hintergrund. but you didn't have to cuuuut me ooff... passt genauso drauf. sehr einfallsreich :D

  • Speciale, particolare, scenografia perfetta..Grande.. Messaggio ricevuto.

    Perfetto...

  • at least these video clips are original in stead of making the whole picture "complete" with sexy ladies.

  • lol das is ja schon 4 jahre alt

  • trippy as shit. wow.

  • did i just get brain washed? cause right now i want to kill all the phonies

  • My god! This video is so paralyzing... I don't even know, if I like the song or not...

  • reminds me on james bond :D love the song

  • .... Next James Bond theme music?

  • iwi is das lied scheiße

  • I´ve seen the video with my two kids Paul and Emma (4 and 7 years old) and we were fascinated. We are trying times, imitating the characters with our hands. We will certainly have a lot of fun. Thank you for uploading the video and regards from Germany :0)

  • this is not music.. this is magic in a way.. and really fascinating! i love his voice, and the video is great!

  • Day 5. Still searching for @disfigurations comment. We're running low on reserves now.

  • nice clip!!

  • amazing hands o.O

  • Hahaha XD der Schattenmensch sieht ja geil aus XD

  • I am so James Bond right now

  • @Reliancedred

    A James Bond sound for sure. But I'm also hearing a Depeche Mode influence.

  • it's 2011. that means it waited so long for me to discover it. too long

  • u are really good!

  • I love the song and video. Like James Bond, LSD, and a deeper understanding of human relations all wrapped into one! The more I watch it, the more I realize the creators of this awesome clip, in it's entirety, are far more intellectually advanced than I.

  • I don't know, but his voice reminds me of Chris Corner (IAMX).

  • @talk2ulaterbye That was my first thought too when i heard this, it also could be an iamx song.

  • @TheSaschi1986 totally - the similarity is unbelievable!

  • Its amazing about the ideas. I look forward to see them in Berlin 2012.

  • wow what a beautifull clip! :D

  • YES

  • Da sieht man mal wie faszinierend Hände sein können :)

  • was eine kunstvolle Mischung aus Ton und Gesang :D megahardschei***geil verd****:D unbedingt teilen :D

  • i'm sure nobody watched this and didn't try making at least one of those with their hands

  • great song and great video, like the affects! Well done :)

  • nice video ;)

  • An open heart and open mind are just two things that come to mind..

  • I always get so distracted by the videos that I barely pay attention to the songs xD

  • Good question. What do they want!?

  • The instrumental backing to this song sounds a lot like the scoring of Goldeneye for the Nintendo64...

  • @tojeemIV YES!!! Oh fuck dude, that is so true! Man, me and my friends wasted so much time playing that game. NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO BE ODD JOB!!!

  • i hate when artist put that "talking or conversation" clip into their songs, its so typical for songs that sounds like this now.

  • haha cute!!

  • i clicked on it cause i like mooses!

  • i cant concentrate on the music, cause i´m too fascinated by the video Oo

  • Im sorry that ive got such a poor imagination but i only see hands.... what do you want?^^

  • Too bad I'm not high... I might actually enjoy this video :/

  • very creative

  • I like the Moose^^

  • srsly...im listening to this song and i cant stop asking myself : why in god's name am i watching a bunch of hands??

  • music awesome - video the worst i've seen :S

  • Sounds like spy music.

  • a true love story... it revoke all my past demons, it's so emotional ... luvz you, guys...

  • This is art !

  • 3:04 - Voldemort

  • nice video!

  • a little inspiration from Jim Henson...nice!!

    

  • Great with sexy

  • hmm... seems we have found Nick Cave's successor.

  • @philscartoons may be right

  • @philscartoons No similarity whatsoever. What a bizarre comparison.

  • @Nigelxman They are both Australian and they are both very tallented and creative. These are the only similarities.

  • @aniaig So can I assume you are speaking for Philscartoons? :-)

  • I agree with you by the way aniag that they are both very talented. :-) Another very underrated and incredibly talented band that is mostly Australian is the Church. Amazing to me that most people forgot about them. They have been together for more than 30 years and are still making really sublime music. Ok I am done with my Church plug. lol IT pissed me off when I was in Australia for 3 months how few Aussies knew about the Church! Grrrrr :-) Ok I'm really done now.....

  • 0:57 "Who you would choose to walk in those shoes, even you cunt"

  • @TheOfficialChannel33 If this is the best comment you can leave, perhaps you should reconsider the use of the 'Cancel' button.

  • AMAZING!

    

  • Genial!

    

  • fucking genius

  • 1:06 best freakin part of the song!!

  • i dont know why i find this creepy 0:15

  • did he get Ray Crow to do this?

  • jiehaah. I have tickets for his concert in Brussels !!

  • jiehaah. I have tickets for his concert in Brussels !!

    Indeed he's a genius !!

  • jiehaah. I have tickets for his concert in Brussels !!

  • the moose is majestic

  • I think I'm feeling high from watching those shadow puppets.

  • you cunt! what do you want?

  • @Adsmunk That's what I heard too! :)

  • is this da imfamous show pupputery master called Ray something ,,,,,, can anyone help me out with my obscure

  • @mrlaptopman1 agreed bud! He is amazing :)

  • Don't think he's a kiwi buddy. He was born in Belgium and raised in Melbourne.

  • Man this guy is basically a New Zealand version of Shiina Ringo. AWESOME!

  • @favoritefella He's Aussie. >.> Kimbra is the awesome Kiwi.

  • @blazeofwar haha yeah..sorry about that. Thanks for not being internet trollish about it.

  • faaarr out he's chilled.

  • Sounds like it should be the themesong to a spy movie or something ^_^ ilygotye!!!!

  • This looks like the ipod ad, on acid.

  • @MRJ65 Drums.

  • gotye = best modern musician

  • in my opinion the greatest musician in the last 30 years. (if not Extremely high in the list)

  • The thing I like about Gotye is that all his songs sound different

  • @MyDreamingMistress and they manage to be awesome regardless lol

  • @MyDreamingMistress They actually all have a very similar style. Might seem that way, because he doesn't often use the standard pop chord progressions in C major for example :-).

  • @MyDreamingMistress - Unlike the fan comments...

  • When will you accept that you need to change your name? Brilliant!!!

  • wow.skillful video

  • Feeling like rich listening to that <3

  • xoxo

  • Ahaa watch this high , = r

  • also wie der man die hexe NUR mit händen gemacht hat will ich sehen!

  • very fun to watch...

  • A James Bond theme was the first thing I though about as well... Done.

    I suppose this one will be include in his next record.

    I've expected to find it in the first one... But no.

    Have to wait.

    Could someone tell me how it works for this artist abroad?

    In France, you've got to order his record (s).

  • mad but a shit song though

  • this video is soo creative!

    it shows me the beauty of our hands

    i never thought about how many things our

    hands can do. the movements are soo fluid

    it's amazing!

  • Inspiring video art! Beautiful soundtrack, too :-) I just discovered Gotye unfortunately :( I wish I found them earlier.

  • in answer to the question: More awesome music! lol

  • How fun!

  • coowl!

  • Amazing!!

  • Im really falling in love with this music fast and heavy.

    This guy is a musical genius.

  • Haha yeah! It could be a James Bond theme, quite an mysterious and powerful sound!

    And you're so right. He is a GENIUS!

  • SO true... What would be cool if someone did a whole James Bond Movie in Shadow hand puppet stylez.
