Tell me it’s not just me.
I prefer Anxiety


Boooo
For me it’s Hells bells tricking me into thinking it’s Discovery by Daft Punk.
As a Gen Xer, for me it’s when Ice Ice Baby fakes me out when I think it’s going to be a Queen banger
For me its the David Guetta song instead of Blue by Eiffel 65
Not “for whom the Bell tolls” by Metallica?
It probably is and I’m misremembering.
Seeing the name automatically makes me think of the entirely different song with the same name by Elliott Smith.
So it’s a melody you used to know, huh
Is no one gonna post a link? I’d never heard the song before. Anxiety by D whoever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riCP9x31Kuk
Oh, I see, this is much better than the Gotye song, no wonder people are upset
I don’t get the hate, i think it’s a pretty good song ! Better than somebody i used to know
Its fine to like it, but I can’t agree that it’s better. STUTK was never that much of a hit for me, but it feels more stylistically focused. To me the rhythm of the vocals and melody are a mismatch in Anxiety - I don’t want to argue about this, as this is subjective taste stuff, Ive heard much worse too
it’s not just you
I thought I was going insane, or the radio was playing some weird hackney version to get around copyright. (They have some cover or something of ‘I’m Blue’ and its tripping me up.)
I fucking hate Anxiety. Especially the shitty rap ending with ‘quiet on the set’. Bitch, no-one was talking you attention hog.
So I was obsessively reading this manga about fish with legs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyo
And the bonus manga with the Steven Universe human sized holes in the sides of mountains. This was before Steven Universe as far as I’m aware.
spoiler
The holes were not from incubated crystal gems.
While my mom was listening to the earlier song OP’s talking about on a loop while working out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY
So the two are linked in my head as if the song was used in a trailer for a movie adaption of the manga. It was a while ago, like summer of 2011, but that’s what popped in my head the second I saw “Somebody I used to know”.
It’s weird how both songs have the same intro but the new one sounds relatable. Oh, after watching the full music video for the new one it seems that the new is clearly a homage to the original:

That’s cool. I’m glad they made it. They even have the people covered in the background art standing against the wall. =D

Had to look up the other song since I hadn’t heard it yet. You’re not kidding Doechii took the music and just inserted her lyrics. The whole song sounded like Somebody That I Used to Know with her doing bad karaoke.
I was gonna say “gotye heavily sampled Seville by Luiz Bonfá”, but then i saw that she put in a fucking reference to gotye’s music video in her own music video so… yeah… that’s pretty fucking egregious…
My 10 year old had me hear this. Anxiety is an abomination to the original song.
Never heard it but… it was enjoyable
Ice ice baby
I just hear twinkle twinkle little star
