Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)

12. Gotye, "Somebody That I Used to Know." Overplayed as it is dinky as it is catchy, Gotye's song may be one-hit wonder material, but that one hit was HUGE!

Cool video, too. Often imitated, never duplicated.

While some things go obsolete, others find a way to reinvent themselves.

Case in point? Discarded electronics rocking out to FUN's hit song "We Are Young." Seriously, it's a performance done entirely on old computer parts.

Listen and smile as vintage hard drives and a Yamaha CX-5 drop the beat and a printer that appears to be an old school HP Scanjet 3C provides "vocals."

Yes, readers born after 1990. People used to use this stuff.

FUN - We Are Young (Old School Computer Remix)

Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson may have been obvious selections for the AFC and NFC Pro Bowl rosters, which were announced last night.

But, to many, the same could be said of Richard Sherman and Alfred Morris.

And yet the Seahawks cornerback and Redskins rookie running back were left off the roster entirely, leading a group of snubbed players and resulting in a series of shocked, angry Tweets.

"@RSherman_25 is the only player in NFL history to have 5+ ints, 3FF, 2TDs, and a sack. i guess he is too good for the pro bowl," reads one confused message, though accusations of performance-enhancing drugs likely affected Sherman's chances.

Johnson recorded the four-minute video in October, using flashcards to tell the story of her condition and to express fear of leaving her young kids alone.

As she fought back the tears, she lamented being taken from her two "heartbeats," and expressed that she was "too young" to die, while appealing for donations.

Johnson was diagnosed with a rare form of heart disease, hypertrophic obstructive cardio myopathy, which hardens the heart and restricts blood flow.

It will not. A new study confirms that a huge asteroid will pass harmlessly by Earth in 2040, meaning you may very well have more than 28 years to live.

Phew.

New observations of the asteroid 2011 AG5 now give astronomers confidence that the 460-foot-wide space rock won't hit Earth in the year 2040.

When it was discovered, scientists said that 2011 AG5 had a 1-in-500 chance of impact with Earth, pretty good odds considering the size of the universe.

What began with a bang is ending with a low-energy half-clap.

Looks like Britney Spears' stint on The X Factor is ending almost as quickly as it started, with reports indicating she will not be asked back for Season 3.

"Britney will get the boot," an insider says of Spears, who joined along with Demi Lovato this fall. "Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working."

One reason? Spears' massive $15 million contract, which one source sums up as such: "They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps."
