Gotye, SNL: Singer Gets a Visit from Naked, Painted-Up Andy Samberg

With its nudity and way-cool stop-motion body-paint-as-camo animation, Gotye's video for "Somebody That I Used to Know" is ripe for parody. Usually, you can count on Weird Al for such pop-culture skewer jobs, but on last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, Andy Samberg and Taran Killam beat him to it, stripping down and painting up in the presence of Gotye himself, who served as musical guest.

In the sketch, Samberg and Killam -- clothed, at first -- venture into the singer's dressing room and tell him how much they love his music. He's flattered, but when they return later fully naked, their bodies decorated with the colorful abstract-art shapes seen in the video, he gets a little freaked out.

"We're like you," Samberg says. "Get it?"

"It's weird, guys," Gotye responds.

The Aussie-Belgian pop star also played two songs. First up, of course, was "Somebody That I Used to Know," which featured a guest appearance from New Zealand riser Kimbra, who sings on the record and appears au naturel in the aforementioned vid. On "Eyes Wide Open," the second tune, Gotye kicked it with just his band, proving why those comparisons to Sting and Peter Gabriel are so apt.

As good as it is, "Eyes Wide Open" is less distinctive than Gotye's first single, so if Weird Al decides to get in on the action, he's going to have his work cut out for him.

Have u met with people confused with their age gap problem ?do you agree with their relationship?As for me ,Love is love, you do not choose who you fall in love with !! if they have 20 happy years together, is it not better than a couple having 40 miserable years together in a so called normal relationship.AGE GAP is no longer a problem.~~- Agedate.com~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! , BTW,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends
