Gotye probably wishes Glee was somebody that he used to know.

The Australian singer, real name Walley De Backer, whose song Somebody That I Used to Know has shot to number one on the Billboard charts, is not impressed with the Glee cover of his hit song.

“They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals but the vocals were that popGlee style, ultra-dry, sounded pretty tuned and the rock has no real sense," the 31-year-old told the Sunday Mail of the Darren Criss and Matt Boomer treatment of his song, which he originally performed with New Zealand singer Kimbra.

Glee broke prime time television boundaries by suggesting that two gay teenagers had sex for the first time and the controversial episode is causing outrage among right wing groups, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

On Tuesday's episode entitled The First Time, Chris Colfer's character, Kurt, seemingly had sex with his boyfriend Blaine, played by Darren Criss. Although the two were never shown in the act, viewers saw them sweetly laying down next to each other after earlier discussing having their first time together and the inference was clear. (In the episode, the straight characters of Finn, played by Cory Monteith, and Rachel, played by Lea Michele, also had their first time.)

"These are allegedly high school kids. This show already hyper sexualizes everything they do," Dan Gainor of the Culture and Media Institute told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. "Now they are teaching teens around the nation that having sex at that age is OK.

Many fans in the audience got in the spirit and donned similar t-shirts with the same phrases.
