OK, not retro in the music, but the work of Lovecraft and his Cthulhu mythos are retro, right? OK, it is a stretch, but I am a big Lovecraft geek and while might not like the song it is based on (The Plain White Tees’ “Hey There Delilah”), the parody lyrics make it much improved. Enjoy!

Same here..was not sure what to make of it when I first hit it, but by the 30 second mark I was ready to go see Eben Brooks in concert.

having seen Eben Brooks in concert I have to say it is worth it. (ok small concert at a coffee shop but still) he does a lot of Filk and sci fi and gaming related songs a lot of original music as well

No, thank you for doing this song. I have it on my regular work playlist and it consistently makes me happy.
Funny thing – just 2 weeks ago I was at the dentist and the non-cthulhu version of the song came on the muzak box and my brain fully expected your version. Then those other lyrics came up.
