Who's that man with the three piece suit? Makin' a doll with a log and fruit Who's that man with the eight strong legs? Tried to make me breakfast but he broke my eggs Octodad - nobody suspects a thing Who's that man with the hard, hard beak? three feet tall with a soft physique How's a man like that man feel? running for his life from a moray eel Octodad - nobody suspects a thing Octodad - he's got a good thing going

When I die don't put me in the ground Just throw my body in the Puget Sound And I'll live beneath the waves With animals as my friends When I'm gone don't cry or whine or moan I'll tell you now just where I'll call my home I'll sleep beneath the waves In an oyster bed Tell my wife there's nothing you could do I did my best and now my doing's through I live beneath the waves With a mermaid

Who's that man with the flowers in his hand? Who's that man? He's just my dad. Octodad! Nobody Suspects a thing. Octodad? Octodad. Aa-oooooo Aa-oooooo Octodad! Nobody Suspects a thing. Octodad! He's got a good thing going. Octodad! Nobody Suspects a thing. Octodad?? Octodad!! (HOTT guitar solo) Who's that man from the seas of Iceland? Who's that man? He's just my dad. Octodad! Nobody Suspects a thing. Octodad! He's got a good thing going. Octodad! Nobody Suspects a thing. ...Octodad!? Octodad!

about

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is the sequel to the splash hit, Octodad! This time, our cephaloprotagonist has gotten himself in a bind between his wife’s mounting mistrust, and a disastrous trip to the local aquarium! Are you dad enough to control the titular octopus father as he strives to hide his nautical nature from his family while keeping his tangled tentacles intact?

Is the game a metaphor for living with alcoholism? Or impostor syndrome? Or the queer experience in America? It's not my place to say, but anyone who struggles to just get through a day can probably relate.

This EP includes Ian McKinney's theme song for the game, a couple of remixes, and a very sad b-side.

Seth Parker's full soundtrack is available here, and anywhere else music is streamed:
