Somebody That I Used to Know: The Story Behind the End Credits Song

If you’re a big music fan and listen to pop music all the time, the minute you saw this episode title the Gotye song popped into your head and stayed there. It’s there now, isn’t it? It may not surprise you to know that it was also on Mark Hudis’ mind as he wrote it.

“Actually, when Mark Hudis first wrote the episode, he had the Gotye song in mind,” says True Blood’s Music Supervisor Gary Calamar. “At that point the song was new and just starting to become popular. By the time we got to post production on the episode the song was hugely huge. I think it’s great, but once a song has been featured on Glee it’s no longer right for True Blood end credits.” Indeed.
