Like classic Motown produced with Phil Spector's widescreen sunshine visors on, it's the most ebullient blend of racing drums, triumphant horns, and the sweetest soul falsetto you've never heard, like some lost 'Northern Soul' classic.

LYRICS

If yer always tryin' to get to the top
You don't get to the bottom of nothin'!
Then you're gone before you know it;
You'd better stop! (STOP!)
Learn a little givin' and lovin'

It's been done before
C'mon, do it again!
Coz if it's good
Then you should share it round
What's the use of keeping
all the good things that you've found to yourself?

Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin'
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin' and lovin'

You don't gotta keep no other man down
For you to get up
There's no need to worry
Just don't give away your self-respect
Coz if it's all you've got left
The rest don't really matter now anyway honey!

But give away love (GIVE IT!)
And give it for free
No strings attached
Just don't ask for it back

Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin'
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin' and stop!

Givin! Learn a little givin'
It's been done before
C'mon do it again!
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin' and lovin'

[Tristanmycophile]

It's like Sting and Beck time traveled back into the Motown days and had babies...

[devidia]

who knew this song before somebody that i used to know and realised it was thesame guy?

[Chellysia]

I get a happy feeling :D

[TheJuliefunk]

This song makes me think of Genesis, then again also Peter Gabriel! Still pretty fabulous in its own right however - Brilliant stuff man, I WANT MORE!!!!

[superiordebtrelief1]

It's been done before

C'mon, do it again

'coz if it's good

Then you should share it round

What's the use of keeping

All the good things that you've found to yourself?

So I am telling anybody that will listen about Gotye!!!

[YiaMdj]

thats some epic dora the explorer right there.

[N21X]

Good stuff! He reminds me of Peter Gabriel.

[Pulsar89]

There's an alternative version of this song where Gotye sings the chorus out loud (like the chorus of Somebody That I Used To Know). That version was a hit single in Belgium and the Netherlands, and it's much much better than this one.

Here it is, check it out: watch?v=7RJjmJ2Zh9U

[Awakeandalive1]

He sounds like Michael Hutchence in this song. It's UNCANNY!

[uberdaz89]

@MrMeDIAMENTor Looks like a man giving it to a camel doggy style.

I've yet to hear a Gotye song I dislike. At this rate, I am starting to doubt I will.
