I saw this before hearing the original, and maybe that’s why I can’t stand the original. But I do like this one! (Not a “serious” musical reference, but kind of fun.)

Thanks Rockrider. totally cool cover. BTW, the original is one of the best recordings of a rock n roll song, full stop. Although I'm a vinyl guy, the digital recording by Gotye and most of that album has it all and is mesmerizing.
