"Somebody That I Used to Know" by Three Days Grace

 

Ontario, Canada post grungers Three Days Grace cover 2011 global hit "Somebody That I Used to Know," originally by Australian singer Gotye featuring Kiwi Kimbra on backing vocals.

Gotye's stage name has a fascinating etymology.

It's pronounced the same as Gautier, which is a French cognate of his given Dutch name Wouter, which is in turn a cognate of the English name Walter.

So, Gotye could have simply called himself Walter.

But, I'd wager that using Walter as a stage name wouldn't have led to scoring the top spot on Triple J's hot 100 or multiple ARIA awards.
