Email this story Printable version Russell Crowe has pitched his songbook to Canadian band Walk Off The Earth after they create a viral hit with their Gotye and Kimbra cover.
Walk Off The Earth featuring Sarah Blackwood produced and uploaded their version of the Gotye featuring Kimbra song 'Somebody That I Used To Know' and within days had more than 3 million views on YouTube.
Over the weekend Russell Crowe tweeted, 'Check out Walk Off The Earth's cover of Somebody That I Used To Know. Brilliant'.
He then pitched his own songs to the Canadian band. '@WalkOffTheEarth. A revelation. What a collection of voices. Do you write your own songs? Crowe/Doyle Songbook vol iii on i-tunes,' he added.
Gotye and Kimbra both approve of the Walk Off The Earth version. 'I know who to ask for help with acoustic versions of Somebody: Walk Off The Earth. Hilarious and brilliant,' tweeted Gotye on Saturday.
Yesterday Kimbra also commented via Facebook, 'Yes, I agree with you all, this is truly amazing. THAT's team work'.
