Been and gone in Aus,  it was a hit here, but not my cup o tea.  Men at Work got sued for the  Kookaburra song similarity in Down Under.  This guy better watch out,  because at the start i swear i can hear ba ba black sheep :o

Reminds me too much of Manu Chao.

All I hear is Peter Gabriel... Kimbra has a lovely voice though.

Love it. Kimbra is especially brilliant but more than that I love the tension between the characters in the song. Will definitely see what else they've done.

I really loved this song in the beginning but then it started to be all over the radio and really got on my nerves after a while.
But I really liked this version of the song, kind of funny!

I have since picked up Kimbra's album and its great: she's a little Kate Bush and a little Max Sharam. Recommended.
