We hear a xylophone tune that echoes the song, \u201cSomebody I Used to Know\u201d by Gotye, playing on loop, and the tune leads Doechii to begin her lyrics. At several points within the music video, Doechii walks by two actors who resemble Gotye and Kimbra in body paint standing in front of a painted wall, echoing the original music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Justin Curto describes the scene for Vulture<\/a><\/em>, “[Doechii] is in a house filled with chaos in the visual, with strangers busting through her windows and a fire in the kitchen. So the two nearly nude body-painted people against the wall are far from the strangest sight here. No, they\u2019re not actually <\/em>Gotye and Kimbra, a rep for Doechii confirmed \u2014 just two actors honoring the ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ video.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you, like me, only heard \u201cAnxiety\u201d through reels, you may be surprised to see that the artist sampled Gotye\u2019s 2011 hit, a beautiful song that also became overplayed and spiraled into a similar popular culture fate of more people hearing before listening to it. In 2012, \u201cSomebody That I Used to Know\u201d became inescapable; when you walked into any commercial establishment, drug store, and grocery store, you heard it playing on the overhead stereo. The song reached Top 10 in more than 30 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “While Gotye sings about the pain of losing a romantic partner in his smash hit, Doechii instead raps about the struggles she faces from constant worrying,” writes Joann Jeffrey for Today<\/a><\/em>. Still I can’t help but ask was the sample made in homage to the 2011 hit or as criticism?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just as Doechii samples Gotye, Gotye\u2019s song was also derived through samples. Gotye sampled from Luiz Bonf\u00e1 (Brazilian guitarist, 1922-2001) instrumental number, \u201cSeville,\u201d from 1967 and \u201cMilla piccolo cagnetto,\u201d an Italian song by Luciano Silighini Garagnani. As written on the Wikipedia page, the incendiary opening tune on xylophone included another, more familiar tune: \u201cblended Latin and African rhythms over a xylophone melody based on the popular lullaby tune, \u2018Baa Baa Black Sheep.\u2019\u201d That is where things get interesting – and controversial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
