Subject: I Want My "Pac-Man Fever"

Written By: HawkTheSlayer on 05/22/06 at 3:59 am

There was an album released by Buckner & Garcia, called "Pac-Man Fever".

I was thinking about, and I swear I'm gonna get me a copy of it!
Who out there remembers this album???

Who *doesn't* remember that album might be a better question.

Looks like they are selling this for a bout $7 on Amazon.com. Doesn't look too hard to get.

I went online, & heard teasers for this. The memories started flooding back...

Here's a little bit of trivia ... Before releasing the Pac-Man Fever album, Bucker & Garcia recorded under the name Willis the Guard and Vigorish.  They had a very catchy minor 1980 hit called "Merry Christmas in the NFL"

That's right, they did.

That was a catchy bit, there, but nothing like "Pac-Man Fever" was.

I also remember "Do the Donkey Kong". I have to wonder what those 2 were thinking, when they made this LP. If they were going for the most novel album ever made, I think they got it.
