For those of you who don't, you should know that I am a fan of the BBC program Sherlock. If you are not familiar with the show, you need to go and familiarizes yourself, ask it over for dinner, go to a pool party together, and not come back until you have become blood brothers. If you are familiar with the show, (which you should be at this point,) you know then that the last episode to have aired was back in January, of 2012. So basically the wait has been over a year. To make matters worse, season two ended with a huge cliff hanger, and to top it all with an aggravating cherry, the first two seasons consisted of seven episodes. Yep, seven. Fangirls have been going crazy on tumblr, dozens of theories as to how Sherlock faked his death have been abounding like dandelions in a pesticide free lawn that never gets mowed.
Being a fan of the show, I felt like I must add to this mass of Sherlock fan work. I give you then my spoof on Gotye's (I have no idea how to actually say his name, thought I'm pretty sure that isn't his real name)
Somebody that I Used to Know. I wrote it a while ago, and never posted it because I wanted to make it into a video. In the end I decided that I would never put in the effort to do so, so if anyone wants to take the lyrics and make their own video, feel free. I would love to see that. (P.S. Though if you want to make it perfect, replace the abstract paint of the original video with Sherlock's wall paper and the yellow smiley face.)
Below I have provided the spoofed lyrics and the original video.

Lyrics of A Program that I Used to View:
Now and then I
think of when Sherlock was airing.
Watching made me
so happy I could die.
Told myself that
it would never end.
But I knew it only
was pretend.
But that is love
and it's an ache I still remember.
You can get
addicted to a certain kind of plotline.
Like Moriarty's
tricks and scheme, always his schemes.
When I heard series
two was ending soon,
I thought the wait
would be untill next June.
And I guess Ben
and Martin had other films.
But they didn't
have to cut me off.
Build up to The Reichenbach
Fall followed by nothing.
I need to know
what happens next
But it ends with a
cliff hanger and that feels so rough.
No they didn't
have to make so few.
Have Sherlock fake
his own death and not tell John Watson.
That's really hell
to put me through.
Now it's just a
program that I used to view.
Now
it's just a program that I used to view.
Now
it's just a program that I used to view.
Now
and then I think of all the times I asked you over.
And
had me believing you said no 'cause you were having fun.
You've
re-watched every episode,
As
if trying to break some code.
They'll
eventually make some new
And
you're already caught up on that program that you used to view.
But they didn't
have to cut me off.
Build up to The
Reichenbach Fall followed by nothing.
I
need to know what happens next.
But it ends with a
cliff hanger and that feels so rough.
No they didn't
have to make so few.
Have Sherlock fake
his own death and not tell John Watson.
That's really hell
to put us through.
Now it's just a
program that I used to view.
