I absolutely love this song, and I thought that it would be fun to do a cover using only retro instruments (primarily from the 1980s)! What you see is the result of a compulsive need to buy weird instruments off of eBay! The featured instruments include:

Casio DG-10 Digital Toy Guitar (run through an octave pedal to create the bass. Also used for a lead in Verse 2)
Casio SK-1 Sampling Keyboard (used for the strings and the brass)
Dubreq Stylophone (for electric guitar riffs)
Suzuki Omnichord electric autoharp (run through a resonator plug-in to add texture)
The drums are samples from the SK-1 and DG-10, triggered via the Rock Band controller.
