I wasn’t going to mention the Walk Off The Earth cover of the Gotye and Kimbra song ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ today but I can’t ignore it.

Overnight the Walk Off The Earth video has generated another 4 million + views brining it to a total of 15,339,711 in just 6 days and they are now giving away a free download for watching it.

The viral impact of this clip is incredible.

Canadian group Walk Off The Earth and singer Sarah Blackwood became viral superstars when they covered the Gotye and Kimbra song and made the clip featuring five people playing one guitar.

In the new thankyou video they say, “We just wanted to make this video to say thankyou to everybody who has shared and posted our video. You made this crazy dream come true for us”.

UPDATE: Ellen awards Walk Off The Earth with Fender guitars and amps
