In the video, two singers sit in front of a flat wall of big geometric patches in dusty pink, cream, grey and beige, a nod to the 2011 music video for "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra. One faces the camera, the other is side-on at the right and sings back. It opens with the one facing the camera holding a straight face while the other sings, then cuts to a big close-up where they take over, eyes shut, then round and staring. It's 16 seconds in four shots, in 4:3 rather than vertical, with the post's own sound.
Who plays who: photo 1 always faces the camera and gets the close-ups, photo 2 sings back side-on and shows at the edge of the frame in the close-ups. With Just you or Your pet sings, the original pale cat stays on the right and sings back to you. People come in their own clothes from their photo; pets come in whole, coat, markings, ears and all. Nobody gets painted: the wall, the camera and the timing stay as in the post, and the body-paint look belongs to the music video.
The song and the original
The song is "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Belgian-Australian singer Gotye, featuring New Zealand singer Kimbra, from his 2011 album Making Mirrors. It's a breakup told from both sides: he sings about being cut out of her life, then she answers with her version of who hurt whom, which is why a duet with one singer turned to the other works so well as a meme. Your video keeps the post's own sound, so it's ready to post. We don't reprint lyrics. To post it with another sound, add it in TikTok or Instagram and turn the clip's audio down.
