Australian singer Gotye says he is getting used to fame after his song, "Somebody That I Used to Know," rocketed to the top of the US charts.
But Gotye -- real name Wally de Backer, from Melbourne -- has revealed some of the fame fallout has frustrated him.
While the version from TV hit "Glee" gave the song a huge boost, Gotye has mixed feelings about the rendition.
"They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals, but the vocals were that pop 'Glee' style. It made it sound dinky and wrong."

He needs to sit and be thankful that he is relevant at all in the US. They did him a favor

Wasn't he already #2 before they covered him?

NO LIE SPOTTED.
EDIT: Although i would say that Glee has had some great covers.
History will show a dark time in our culture in which a million followers on Twitter became a key component to winning a Grammy. But thank God for Pink. While Christina Aguilera has a tendency to oversing, Britney Spears can't sing, and Lauryn Hill sorta stopped singing, Pink has managed to carve a brilliant 13-year-career by being something that is incredibly rare these days -- an artist. A complete artist. - CNN

Oh please. His song would still be hugely successful without Glee. But I'm glad he just said what everyone's been thinking for the past three years.

He didn't lie. And this was one of their better covers. 
Quante ne vorrei fare ma poi rimango fermo
Guardo la vita in foto e già è arrivato un altro inverno
Non cambio mai su questo mai, distruggo tutto sempre
Se vi ho deluso chieder scusa non servirà a niente

It gave the song a bump, but the song was already one of the biggest hits at the time of the episode.

It's true though, the vocals are supposed to sound dulled and hurt, as though you're afraid to speak.
