What happens after you release one of the biggest songs of the decade? Make an entire album out of it. That’s exactly what Australia’s Gotye is planning on doing with his breakout track Somebody That I Used To Know.

Canadian band Walk Off The Earth rose to fame with their cover of Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know, even scoring themselves an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. MuchMusic.com talked to Wally about the band and got his thoughts on the famous cover of his song.
