About "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Count Dee's Hit Explosion
Count Dee's Hit Explosion tackles 'Somebody That I Used to Know' with dutiful precision. The xylophone riff still stings, but the cover lacks the original's bitter ache. It's a breakup song played at a party—the pain is there, but it's been polished into a singalong, a scar turned into a sticker.
