Why is Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ Such a Big Hit? [VIDEO]

This video may be the reason that the new song we are playing on the radio by Gotye called Somebody That I Used To Know is such a big hit. This video shows five people playing the one guitar. The band is called Walk Off The Earth. At the time I found this YouTube video it had been viewed 86,548,413 times.

Watch the video that went viral below. It is pretty awesome.

The song was also recently on Fox's Glee.

According to Wikipedia.org: '" Somebody That I Used to Know" is a song by Belgian-Australian singer and songwriter Gotye from his third studio album Making Mirrors, and features New Zealand singer Kimbra. The song was written by Gotye himself, lyrically about the experiences he has had with relationships. The song was released on 6 July 2011 as the second and lead single off the album.'

Here is the official video by Gotye:
