College grads playing the role of lovers scorned by President Obama have scored a smash YouTube hit with a parody of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know." 

The video, which was tracking toward 400,000 hits Friday morning, faithfully covers the original, only under the title, "Obama That I Used to Know." 

The clever parody intersperses some of the president's more soaring lines from the 2008 campaign with laments about the current state of the economy for America's 20-somethings. 

"Now and then I think of that Election Day November," the song begins. "When you won, I felt so happy I could die." 

Hum along if you know the tune, but it continues: 

"You can get addicted to a certain kind of message -- like this is change we can believe in, yes we can. 

"But college ended had to pay my rent. At least you're the first gay president. But the change I got is that I moved in with my mother."
