[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKoBJ5X7OFo[/youtube]The chart-topping song “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Belgian-Australian singer/songwriter Gotye already has a bit of metal cred, since Kimbra, the female lead in the song, admitted that she’s a huge fan of The Dillinger Escape Plan. And now Coheed and Cambria have opted to cover the song, which they performed last night (April 29) on the opening night of their tour in Charlottesville VA. While it’s a little odd to hear the proggy Coheed cover the #1 song in America, the band span genres, so branching out into the admittedly strange song isn’t that much of a stretch, and the band make it sound like their own.
