“Mr. Eclectic,” from Laufey’s third album, A Matter of Time sees the singer adopting her iconic bossa nova backdrop to poke fun at a pretentious mystery man, cutting down yet another shallow ex-lover in a similar vein to “Tough Luck” just a few songs ago.

[Verse 1]
Bet you think you're so poetic
Quoting epics and ancient prose
Truth be told, you're quite pathetic
Mister Eclectic Allan Poe
[Chorus]
Did you ever stop and give a wonder to
Just who you were talking to?
The very expert on the foolish things
That men have said to woo and win me over
What a poser, you think you're so interesting
[Post-Chorus]
Pum-pum, pa-ra, pum
[Verse 2]
Twist my hair around your finger
Oh, grandiose thinker of mine
Talking 'bout some dead composer
You're just a stoner patronizing me
[Chorus]
Did you еver stop and give a wonder to
Just who you wеre talking to?
The very expert on the foolish things
That men have said to woo and win me over
What a poser, you think you're so interesting
[Outro]
Mm-mm, mm
Pa-ra-ra-rum, pa-ra-ra-rum
Pum-ra-ra-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra (Ooh)
Pa-ra-rum, pa-ra-rum
